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.

Travel safety index

4.5 /5

based on 15 experiences from female travelers

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.

Doha, Solo travel

It was a fun experience I did feel safe The activities there are mostly in malls as it's very hot and humid, but I was told that the weather is nicer in January I stayed with a family friend, and that was a blessing The good but it depends on the cusine there's a wide variety of cuisines and cultures in Qatar Travel was mostly via Uber. You can't really walk anywhere Fun activities I did: visiting the National Museum. It was amazing. I highly recommend trying it out. I don't remember exactly how much I paid, but it was reasonable, and I believe they have student discounts if you're in Uni I also visited the islamic museum. The view there was spectacular And Souq waqif which is a huge market with lots of different kinds of shops and restaurants I highly recommend it but you have to go there at night

Doha, Solo travel

In doha I felt very safe, my stay was short so I didn’t get to do much but I’m sure there are so many cool things to visit or do. One of my favourites sights was alhazm mall it had a very nice architecture, with a bit pricy shops. However the airport was a journey itself, it was VERY long, nothing to be scared of tho, good luck!!

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

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.

About me

I’m a 28-year-old solo traveler originally from NYC and currently based in Qatar. I love exploring new cities through food, art, and music especially through Latin dancing, R&B, jazz and hip-hop nights. I’m super open-minded, easygoing, and love meeting fellow adventurers with good energy. I spend my days hitting museums, walking tours, shopping or sipping something refreshing with a view. At night, I’m all about finding the best lounges, dance floors, or live music spots.
