Is Qatar safe for solo female travelers?

Qatar is generally a safe destination for solo female travelers. The country has low rates of crime and the locals are usually helpful and respectful. However, remember, Qatar is a conservative Muslim country, so it's essential to respect the local customs, dress modestly, especially when visiting religious sites. It's advisable to avoid wandering alone late at night in less crowded or unfamiliar areas. In case of any emergency, the local police are prompt and responsive. On the whole, with common sense and respect for local customs, you should feel comfortable and safe in Qatar.

Doha, Family travel

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

I love Qatar. It's very safe for solo travel. Lots of culture and food so it's suitable for all travelers. I decided to stay here for a month. Feeling very blessed. Taxi is also relatively cheap for a developed country.

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.

Extremely safe I have very minimal issues. I prefer to stay in areas where there are more expats. Even though it’s a safe country, the men out here unfortunately think all foreign women engage in SW. Don’t be afraid to tell them off and report them ! It’s none of their business where you live/stay or even your nationality because they do discriminate if they think your passport are from certain countries
