Qatar Travel Forum

Hello,

I am travelling next month to Doha on work for maybe a month or even less. I need accomodation in a cheap place because my budget is rather limited. I can't afford to spend 100$ or more each night. 30$ - 50$ would be O.K. So please, could you help me? (Excuse me, I sent this before under the topic world instead of Doha!)
Thank you!

Hi everyone, I would like to ask for some help with regards to my situation. I just had a technical interview with Q.P. a week ago and they offered me a package which I think is quite reasonable. They also invited me to come to Qatar for a Site Visit. I just wanted to know if anyone have an idea how long will it takes to get the Business visa going to Qatar; and how soon can you hear from Q.P. once the visa arrived.

I would really appreciate if somebody can give me an acurrate answer to my queries. Thank you very much

OK, this might be the most stupid question ever. But is there any nightlife in Doha at all. How do you spend a good night out on a weekend evening?
I am moving to Doha in a couple of weeks time and fear that there is ZERO, nothing, nada, nichts to do.

Any ideas other than flying off to Dubai?

Can you drive from Qatar to the UAE on land? I heard it's difficult (or near impossible) to get into Saudi Arabia by road but can you get to the UAE without having to go through SA? On a map it doesn't look like there is a direct link.

Thanks for anyones help.
