💡 Local Tips

Insider advice from the LonelyRoad community

📱 Mobile Data & eSIM: Get data for Doha with PikaSim - 0.5GB for 7 days costs $2.26 (other options: 0.1GB/7d for $0.90, 0.5GB/1d for $2.38). Privacy-focused, no account needed, instant activation. Get yours at https://pikasim.com/download-qatar-esim-packages
Visa & Entry for Qatar citizens: As a Qatar citizen visiting Doha, you are already in your home country, so no visa or entry requirements apply. You'll need your Qatari ID card for domestic identification. If you meant traveling FROM Doha to another destination, please specify the country for accurate visa information.
Best photography times are early morning (6-8am) and late afternoon (4-6pm) to avoid harsh midday sun and heat. Summer temperatures exceed 45°C, so plan outdoor activities for cooler months (November-March).
Download Karwa taxi app or use Uber/Careem for reliable transport. Public metro is excellent, cheap (2-10 QAR), and connects major areas. Get a rechargeable Karwa card for convenience.
Dress modestly in public areas - shoulders and knees covered. Shorts are acceptable in malls and hotels but avoid them in traditional areas like Souq Waqif. Respect prayer times when shops may close briefly.
Friday is the main day off (not Sunday). Many cafes and coworking spaces are busiest Saturday-Thursday. Book desert tours and activities in advance, especially during peak season (December-February).
Get a local SIM card from Ooredoo or Vodafone Qatar at the airport - around 50-100 QAR for tourist packages with good data. Essential for digital nomad work and navigation.
Join Facebook groups 'Expats in Doha' and 'Digital Nomads Qatar' to meet other remote workers and travelers. Friday brunches and Katara events are great for networking with international crowd.
