Is Doha Safe for Solo Female Travelers?

Solo travel

Doha is a beautiful country with perfect architecture! Very kind and responsive people, so I didn’t feel fear or danger for a minute. I recommend visiting the The Pearl Island and Al Maha Island. Also go to Souq Waqif, there you can find souvenirs, clothing stores and etc. The weather is humid and hot, so I immediately bought myself an abaya, because it’s impossible to walk in jeans :)

Solo travel

I was there a few months ago, and it is one of the few places where I didn't feel safe. Cars stopping non-stop, offering me rides or trips to the Safari, one followed me for so long until I hid in a café, men in shops offering to pay for me and then chatting me up at the entrance. Never again.

Group travel

I am incredibly impressed by this city. The cleanliness and safety surprised me. Uber, which doesn’t always work well everywhere, is amazing there. And it’s relatively affordable. You feel safe during the day, and people are very friendly. I was traveling with my friend who has lived there for a few years, which made things easier for me, but I can tell you that even if you’re planning a solo trip, you can go without any worries. A few things surprised me, like the paid beaches, which aren’t cheap. As for alcohol, I probably don’t need to say that you can’t buy it in stores, and locals themselves need a license to buy it privately for home use. The city and its architecture made a huge impression on me.

Solo travel

I traveled alone on my own and felt very safe. No one bothered me. I took an Uber from the airport and caught a taxi on the street on the way back, no unpleasantness at all; people were very kind and helpful. Granted, I only walked around the Corniche, the souq, and the Museum of Islamic Art (I didn’t have time for more as I was just on a layover), so I stayed in tourist areas, but I think it would be similar everywhere.

Doha is a wonderful city to visit. I felt safe while moving around Doha. I would like to note the convenience of public transport - you can take the metro to all the most interesting places in Doha. I recommend visiting the Qatar National Museum, Sku Waqif Market, Doha Qatar Cultural Museum and the Doha Corniche (there are many attractions along it).

Solo travel

I really enjoyed alot it was my first trip to doha also first time solo it was exciting and the people there are kind and friendly they never let me felt i am alone or felt lonley or differently i felt like i was one of them

Family travel

Very safe! I never felt uncomfortable as a woman in Doha and I didn't have to worry about my belongings either. The only downside is that it's quite expensive. However, there's a lot to do and a lot to see which makes it so worth it!

Need to wear something that covers shoulders for women. But great stopover for a 48h layover. Doha is beautiful, I went dune bashing, visited the souks and had a great time in a city as rich as Dubai but less crazy :) Safe !

You can leave your bag in the food court for 10min and you will find it . I have never get kidnapped or someone stole something from me . The safety level is high in general gulf country . Women’s can hang out by them self at night , with no worries . Yes you may get some guys trying to approach u or talk to u but as soon as you thread them that u will contact the police they will scared

Extremely safe for anyone. Been here my whole life. So can 100% confirm! Especially for women, you can stay out the whole day and night ALONE and trust me, nothing will happen to u. It’s honestly a privilege to live here!
