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

Qatar, Solo travel

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.

Doha, Family travel

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

Doha is one of the few cities that i feel completely safe in. I'm never worried about someone breaking into my house, someone stealing things in public, i don't even lock the car after parking. I go out for walks, mostly late at night andi never had a single incident

Qatar

Qatar is one of the safest countries you could visit. There are cameras everywhere, and the police are extremely polite and respectful. To feel more comfortable, do not wear revealing clothes, only as a respect to their culture.
