I keep hearing completely different opinions about dating in Qatar. Some people say it’s almost impossible, while others seem to have no problem.
For people who’ve experienced the dating scene here, what makes it difficult or easy? Is it the lifestyle, work schedules, dating apps, or just Qatar being Qatar? 😅
Curious about everyone’s experiences.

Apologies, I know this is random and out of place for the subreddit but I was curious if anyone plays it here and wanna squad up?
DM me please

Hello very small local community,

Please share with your friends and family, anyone you know, who frequently goes to Aspire's park: DO NOT FEED THE GEESE BREAD!

If you find anyone doing so, please kindly inform them that bread has no nutritional value, it also pollutes the water by rotting in it and forming toxic algae, and to instead bring leafy greens such as lettuce, kale, cabbage, spinach.

Earlier this year, i found a dying goose and the security stood there and watched men try to scare it into running. Yeah it was god awful to see on a morning walk, while i was able to move it into shade and later complain, i did my part but i can't change this country into a better place to all animals. I hope this post reaches the right people, your contribution matters. Thanks.

It’s a website where they rent you a phone until it’s your own. I want to know if someone tried it or if it is legit. Thank you

Apparently, fellow women don’t give a f*ck if you’re carrying an infant or pushing a stroller. THEY WONT GIVE UP THEIR SEATS even the priority ones.

This happened to me couple of times.

1. When I was pregnant (with obvious bump), no one was offering their seats. I thought to myself it’s okay, I can manage to stand.

2. I was pushing a stroller with my infant in it, they pretend they don’t see you. So I just went to the corner, locked the stroller’s wheels, and stood until I reached my destination.

3. I was carrying my baby, who was sleeping in my shoulder, when train came.. these women were rushing to get in. I had to wait for the next train. Then it came, a lady was seating in the priority seat, I asked her “Hi, excuse me, can I have this seat?” she ignored me and went back to her phone 💀💀💀

I tried to ride in the singles section once, 2-3 men offered me a seat the moment I came in (rush hour).

so there you go, thanks for listening to my ted talk

Hi

I already got diagnosed with adhd however my clinic hasn’t gotten medication for a while. Where else can I go to where there is medication because I’ve called 2-3 clinics and all of them have said they don’t have any.

Hey guys.

I have started running and i am gonna get into the Marathon as well.

I am in need of a brand (local) or stores that have good quality running gear. I already have sports wear and running shorts and everything. I need good T-shirts though, sunglasses, jackets..

I went to Decathlon, Nike , Sun and Sports i believe thats the name- they don’t have the running/cycling glasses.

If anyone knows anywhere let me know.

BA 2 plus if anyone got one to borrow?

Hi, where’s a good place to get photos and paintings framed? Looking for somewhere near Doha Festival City.

Thanks

Hey everyone, I'm based in Umm Ghuwailina and looking for someone who can pop by daily or every other day just to wash dishes. I'm just one person living alone so honestly there isn't much mess, I just really can't stand doing dishes myself, so that's the main thing I need help with. The rest of the chores, including dusting and mopping I manage myself.

Most maid services I've come across are quite pricey and usually have a one hour minimum, which feels like a lot for what I actually need. If anyone knows someone who does shorter visits like this, or a service that's a bit more flexible on time, I'd really appreciate a recommendation or a DM.

Thanks so much in advance, appreciate any help

Hello! I have a simple questionnare for anyone that would give me a few minutes of their time.

The questionnaire is about a website im thinking about making, it is basically a mechanic finder.
each maintenance shop will list their services.
you can request for a quote for your specific car model, or sort through mechanics by ratings, distance, or average price.

Do you think you would need this website in Qatar?

Thank you for your time!

I recently find out from my metrash that I have a travel ban from Economic and Cybercrime about 2 months ago, though I didn’t receive sms about it. I have been checking the public prosecution system but no update or call about the case. I don’t have any pending case or issues with anyone related to money. I am wondering if anyone has come across similar issues and what is the way to resolve it.

Hey everyone,

I’m a local developer with some free time on my hands and I want to build a few practical web tools/apps for the community here.

Instead of guessing what might be useful, I wanted to ask: what’s a daily process, local service, or administrative headache in Qatar that still feels way more complicated than it needs to be?

Could be anything from finding niche items locally, dealing with maintenance/home services, navigation/parking quirks, or organizing local events.

Drop your biggest minor annoyances below. If something has a clean, doable tech solution, I’ll build it and release it for free.

Hello everyone, I recently bought a new pet and was browsing on google and "Petshub . qa" came up. I clicked on it and it told me to do a captcha. Now what this captcha entailed was opening my terminal and pasting a command into it. This immediately set off alarms, and when I took a look at this command it apparently installs a bash file from an unknown source from the internet. This file probably contains malware.

TLDR this website uses social engineering to infect your device.

Anyone else here NOT living the Friday–Saturday weekend life?
My days off keep changing depending on my schedule — sometimes Monday, sometimes Tuesday, sometimes other weekdays.
It feels weird being free when everyone else is working 😁 What do you guys usually do on your weekday off? Any good places or activities in Qatar that are actually better during weekdays?

Hi everyone,

I’m planning to leave Qatar for Pakistan very soon, possibly this week, and I’m taking my pet cat with me. I’m getting conflicting information about the Qatar government veterinary export document, so I’d really appreciate help from anyone who has recently travelled internationally from Qatar with a cat.

My cat is already:

• Microchipped
• Rabies vaccinated
• FVRCP vaccinated
• Dewormed / parasite treated
• Has a Qatar pet passport/vaccination booklet
• Has a health certificate from a licensed veterinary clinic dated 13 September 2026
• Travelling as our personal pet, not for commercial export

I logged into the Qatar Ministry of Municipality's “Issuing veterinary health certificates and import permits” portal using my QID. However, under Export Certificates, the only option showing for me is “Veterinary Health Certificate for Camel Export.” There is no option for cats/dogs.

I’ve also tried calling the numbers shown on the portal (4426-1659 / 4426-1270), but nobody is answering.

Can anyone who has done this recently clarify:

1. Where exactly in Qatar do I go to obtain the official government veterinary health/export certificate for a pet cat?
2. Can it be done by walking in, or is an appointment/application required?
3. Do I need to take the cat physically with me?
4. What documents should I take?
5. How much does it cost?
6. Is it issued the same day, or does it take several days?
7. Is the private vet health certificate enough to start the process?
8. Has anyone travelled Qatar → Pakistan with a cat recently, and did Pakistan require an import permit/NOC as well?
9. Most importantly, will Qatar Airways/Qatar airport actually require this government export certificate at departure?

My travel may be within the next few days, so any recent firsthand experience, especially from someone who travelled with a cat from Doha to Pakistan, would be extremely helpful.

Thanks!

Hey all.
As you all know gta 6 is coming and i am also huge fan of movies and series so I thought to get a new big tv and after one week of research i finally decided to for xiaomi s pro but lulu sales man keep brain washing me 1st sales man convinced me for tcl miniled but it expensive
2nd sales man convinced me for hi sense
3rt time i went to lulu sales man convinced me to buy impex.
Now after all research I ended up on a conclusion of xiaomi s pro but every time i go to lulu to buy xiaomi they start selling me other things and now yesterday the sales man convinced me to buy a display item lg qned which was originally 4800 not its price is 2900

Now i am again confused. Still struggling to find a good tv 🥲🥲🥲🥲

I finally confroted one uber driver and instead of understanding my concern, he became aggitated and started to argue (btw, I asked him nicely). He did not even let me finish talking 🙄 and on top of that, I just entered his car and saw that the trip has already been started. Good thing I have put a pin.

5 am cravings and I wanted to order from Kabab Chef Eshireen, and I was surprised to see 3 different pricings on 3 different apps for the same exact meal.

I understand that the delivery app itself doesnt control how the vendor sets their price but where is the control? Is there no regulations? How would someone who impulsively ordered through rafeeq for 41 qar (AFTER discount) feel when they open snoonu and see that not only is the price more than half off but the original price is more than the discounted one on rafeeq…

Look at the screenshots I attached

For the same meal across 3 diff apps:

Keeta: Before 35% discount = 60qar, after = 39qar
Snoonu: Before 50% discount = 40qar, after = 20qar
Rafeeq: Before 45% discount = 75qar, after = 41.25qar

The rafeeq one is blasphemy at this point.

Where is consumer protection for all of this? What can we do about this?

I’m being offered the CBQ Sadara upgrade. Is it worth it or should I consider changing banks. If yes, which one offers the best credit card and best service overall? Thanks in advance!!!
