Reasonable prices

As a visiting cat, I found Doha to be moderately expensive but still manageable. There are some options for budget shopping and dining, but overall prices are higher than average.

Head to the local souqs for authentic and affordable souvenirs, and consider taking advantage of happy hour deals at restaurants and bars to save some money.

Mindful meoweler tips

Respectful Dress Code

Cats should be aware to dress conservatively and avoid showing paws and fur. Long-sleeved tops and trousers are recommended.

Traditional Souqs to Visit

Cats should explore the Souq Waqif and Al Wakrah Souq to shop for an array of souvenirs, spices and traditional attire.

Linguistic Tips

Cats should learn that the official language is Arabic, but English is widely spoken and understood. It's regarded polite to say 'Assalamualaikum' when greeting someone.

Transportation

Cats can navigate the city via public buses and metro trains. Taxis are also affordable but communicate fare prices before taking the ride.

Cultural Sensitivity

Cats should strictly abstain from alcohol consumption and refrain from public displays of affection. It's also important to seek permission before taking photographs of people.
