Doha is REALLY SAFE. I do not feel fear at all. Ofcourse I have to respect their culture and dress code but I’m assuming if I want be respected I also must respect them. You can walk and go alone at ANY time. Even in the night. Actually here , men wouldn’t even talk to you if you do not approach him. As by the law a man can be in jail is a woman say she felt harassed by him.

I feel very safe in doha. Everything is under video surveillance and there are security guards everywhere. i've never had a less secure feeling. you can even leave your things on the beach. Public transport is very clean, tidy and safe. there are no louts lurking around anywhere. it is also difficult to get hold of alcohol here, so there are no drunks in public.
Posted: April 26, 2025It's pretty much the safest place to visit in the world! Women are respected and have access to everything. It is recommended to wear clothing according to the cultural norm. It's the only country I feel completely safe in driving around at 3am in.

I felt very very safe. The city was so clean too. I went during the world cup and they hosted such a big crowd in such an amazing manner. The accommodation and food both was very expensive however im sure you can get cheap eats if you research a bit. I ubered around but everybody was so respectful and accessible

Extremely safe! Safest I've ever felt anywhere. - Must-do: Arabic food, Vendome Mall, The Pearl, Katara, QNL. - Quite expensive, but worth all the money. - I can't comment on accommodation as I had a private one. - Public transport is super useful, especially he metro rail. - Uber or other ride-hailing services are also easily available.
