Hello! Anything happening in Doha tonight - a pub scene or hangout place?

Hi, I am an international student planning to apply for a scholarship at Carnegie Mellon Qatar or Hamad Bin Khalifa University. I would like to ask, if I am accepted to either, will I be able to work part-time or full-time off or on campus? If yes, how much can I earn monthly?

Hi, I’ve recently been considering buying a McLaren, but I’d like to know how good the service is. If anyone knows any McLaren owners here in Qatar, I’d appreciate it if you could ask them about their experience. I’m particularly curious about the quality of after-sales support, maintenance, and overall ownership experience in this country. Any insights would be really helpful, thank you! :)

A friend is visiting Doha, and I love going to supermarkets in different countries when I travel.

I wanted to order a bunch of sweets/candy/chips from a supermarket and have it delivered to his hotel just so he doesn't have to go around shopping while on his trip. I always love looking for treats we don't have in the US.

I know of Lulu Express and Monoprix from research. But, does anyone have any other suggestions? Any luxury supermarkets? Any supermarkets that have loads of British/European goods?

**** Also if you have a favorite chain bakery in Doha let me know. I want sweets for him to take home for the holidays.

Thank you!

I have a start date for a new job in January. I need to hand my notice in this week. Was thinking to hand it in on 5th so that my 4 weeks notice would end on 5th January, so I would only come back for 1 day after half term in the hopes I’ll be paid for half term. Is this correct or not? With it being the festive period ideally I don’t want to not have a full pay check this month to have to last until end of January.

I have accomplished so much throughout my life from my education to my career, but my biggest accomplishment was when I converted to Islam as an American woman, Alhamdulillah! It had nothing to do with marriage, because I am single (people think that is the only reason why a woman would convert).

I was truly lost. I lost my mother right after moving to Qatar and she was my rock. I felt like I had nothing else. My entire life, I only experienced turmoil and trauma. I never got to experience rest, because I always had to work to prove myself and it was never enough. I was extremely depressed, exhausted and completely broken. I couldn’t turn to my family for help, because they were all in America and they abandoned me after my mother passed.

The only people who did not turned their backs on me were strangers. I met so many wonderful Qatari men and women who showed me love when I needed it the most. I asked about converting and never felt so welcomed in my life. I was taught the prayers, how to dress (I love), everything about Islam, etc.

When I was ready to take my Shahada, one of my Qatari friends drove my son and I to Al Fanar! I never felt so completed, until I started reciting the Shahada! I converted less than a year, after moving to Qatar! Best decision I made as an American woman!!

Any recommendations for coming Friday? Good crowd and party atmosphere is more important than the quality of the food.

Hi All, so let me get directly to the point, I have a ongoing loan for 3 years in CBQ, I'm shifting from a company to another so I would get a gratuity (which I have worked 6 years in one company) that amount would be almost equal to my 3 year loan, My question is will CBQ deduct the loan from my Gratuity?
how does it work? Im not shifting to another country, I'm shifting the job inside Qatar.

I switched from another bank that-shall-not-be-named that I was with for 3 years, to QIB to put my money in an Islamic bank, And I just want to say:

- So easy to open an account/subaccounts.

- The app is miles better than the other red one.

And the most important? you call their number, press 1, then 2, and you are immediately with customer service, in less than 5 seconds.

No waiting for stupid "voice fingerprint" and having to go through a labyrinth to reach customer service.

(I am not affiliated with QIB but just wanted to share my experience)

Can someone explain why Ubers are 4x regular price this morning??

So recently the price of my standard commute to work went from around 15-20 QAR at maximum to now being 60 QAR this morning... the uber app implies that there is a high demand for ubers but where does this demand suddenly come from?

For context I've been taking the same uber journey almost every day for 2 years now and I've slowly seen the prices creep up, though I've never encountered the demand surge.

Am I missing something..?

Since last few years, the number of Chinese cars are increasing day by day on Qatar roads. Most of them are copy of some established cars like bmws, g wagon, defender, etc....

Personally i hate a company producing copy of another car. 🤷

In Qatar lots of people are purchasing them. Wherever the latest fancy features are there... How can people go for it.

What's your opinion on this???

It says it will expire on the 2nd, at 4 am I tried to make my I opened the fridge to get the milk for my coffee to notice the texture of the milk.

If someone is offering to sell a Ugandan/African visa, how do I avoid getting scammed, because the recipient is my friend and am just connecting the two parties,the person giving the visa said that in one day, it will beready in the system, is there anyway I can tell whether it's genuine or not.

Hey everyone, I'm kinda new to Doha and absolutely love playing classical guitar. I’m not a professional but can hold my own and pick things up with a little practice. I was wondering if i could connect with skilled guitarists who enjoy jamming maybe even dive into the Spanish genre, which is my main interest.

If there any groups or folks around who like to jam and share tips, I’m eager to learn more, improve my skills, and just vibe with people who share the samilar interest. Feel free to DM if you're up for a meet-up or further discussions.

Hello everyone, so recently I was thinking a lot about the future and where i should stabilize my life, mostly to find the best place for a family (children, education etc). So I’m from Europe and I live in Dubai, but this life in Dubai I don’t know if it’s the best for a family. Was thinking to move either to Abu Dhabi or Doha. I saw some stuffs about Qatar and all looked good but once I open Reddit and read some of the posts from people I started thinking differently. Would really appreciate someone’s advice for this

PS I am 23, having my own online business, so about work I have my own company

Hi Qatari friends - is there any punk or metal or rock or even just alt scene in Qatar? Where would you go like any bars or shops, shows, venues etc in particular? Live music or places that play said music etc.

I was talking to someone here in Qatar about what it was like moving he said there’s no subcultures at all in Qatar whether that be types of music (rock metal electronic edm etc) art bands fashion etc and got me thinking about finding rock/metal punk subculture here.

What are some good places for cheap, but delicious momo dumplings?

i’m moving with my wife and need a good place in doha or close to it since i work in the airport

If anyone knows that would be great !! Just looking for 1bhk

Looking for a place that has reasonably priced sandals and heels that are actually wearable ? For someone with sweaty feet wearing heels is such a task but i know there are well made heels out there that will make it easier.
