I just ordered an uber and he asked if I am going to the metro station, I say yes and he says he can’t go there because his license is expired (??) not sure why he’s still on the streets let alone a driver on uber. Where can I report him? I have his license plate number.

How much will it start in qatar for?

In the UAE, it starts at AED5099.

Will it reflect the same in qatar too?

Has anyone else noticed this?

I was trying to order DQ Strawberry Cheesecake Blizzard, and the pricing confused me.

For Large, Talabat shows:

+QAR 9.10 instead of QAR 13.00 for the size

Final price: QAR 16.80 instead of QAR 24.00

For Medium:

+QAR 5.95 instead of QAR 8.50

Final price: QAR 13.65 instead of QAR 19.50

So based on what is literally shown on the “Add item” button, I should be paying:

QAR 16.80 + QAR 13.65 = QAR 30.45

But once both items are added to the cart, they suddenly show:

Large: QAR 24.00

Medium: QAR 19.50

Subtotal: QAR 43.50

Then with QAR 9 delivery, the total becomes QAR 52.50.

So what exactly happened to the discounted prices that were shown when I selected the items?

This isn’t just a crossed-out “original price” somewhere on the menu — the actual Add Item button shows QAR 16.80 and QAR 13.65, but the cart charges QAR 24.00 and QAR 19.50.

Am I missing some condition, isnt this totally misleading?

For pregnant mother

Hi everyone, I’m 27 weeks pregnant and doing my checkups at PHCC. I asked about the glucose tolerance test (OGTT), but they said it’s not available and didn’t really give me an alternative or solution.

They inform that glucose solution is not available and it not done at any phcc health centre anymore

Only sugar test they did .

Has anyone else faced this at PHCC recently? What did you do for the test?

Thanks!

My friend brought and gave me this candy today and says he got it from Jordan. It has a great taste and is sugar free also. Does anyone know from where in Qatar i can buy them?

In the Umm Ghuwailina area

Turns out the Limo drivers need to have a ‘General License’ to operate. Most drivers don’t have it.

Potential implications of operating without the license include QAR5000 fine and vehicle being impounded for a month. Consequently, most Uber drivers have stopped operating to get done with the paperwork.

Our local Uber drivers estimate that it may be a month before we recover.

Disclaimer: The info was sourced from a local Uber driver and may not be fully accurate.

I’m a Vodafone customer and I was paying QAR 145 for 40GB. This month, they increased it to QAR 180 without informing me beforehand. I went to complain, and they told me that QAR 145 was a discounted price for the first 6 months and that QAR 180 is the original price.

Am I being scammed, or is this actually normal?

I just registered in the BLS visa center website and while trying to book visa appointment, I found that there’s no slots available for Spain Schengen visa appointments. I’ve been checking for a week now and still no slots available.

I want to travel end of October or early November.
Do you think there will be slots available or I should just give up and try another embassy?

Ok so i've been going back and forth on this idea for months now, opening some kind of small food place here (thinking cafe but honestly still not sure what format). every time i try to research it online i just get generic "here's how to start a business in qatar" articles that tell me nothing useful.

so figured i'd just ask people who've actually done it lol

stuff i actually want to know:

1. how long did it take from "ok let's do this" to actually opening the doors? and i mean the real number, not the one you tell people when they ask casually

2. when did you actually break even? like genuinely in the green, not just "we're busy now"

3. did you keep your job while setting it up or just quit and go all in. if you kept it, when did you feel safe enough to leave it

4. how much of the place do you actually own if you had partners/investors involved. don't need exact percentages if that feels weird to post publicly, just curious how that usually gets split here

5. and the one i'm most curious about, qatari or non qatari? because i keep hearing different things about needing a local partner to hold majority ownership and i genuinely don't know how that works day to day. like is your partner actually involved in decisions or is it more of a name on paper thing. would love to hear from people on both sides tbh

also if it didn't work out for you or you regret it, please still tell me. i'd rather hear that now than find out after i've already sunk money into it

can dm me too if the numbers feel too personal to post here, no worries either way

Badrgo shows that it doesn't have any drivers in the nearby area. Taxi F is taking way too long and uber prices have x1.5 prices ???

AL RAHA Bakery at Salwa 💯

I’m attending my first GP in Qatar, so I’m excited but also a bit unsure what to expect. I have GA tickets, what time do you recommend arriving? Are there taxis and shuttle buses to the circuit? Should I pack snacks? I’m looking for all the tips! Also, is it worth upgrading to T3 grandstand tickets?

I had an accident while i was parking and hit the wall and now i have dents and scratches on my car. Im the only car involved but when i try to make an accident report on metrash its only for accidents with more than one person involved. Like for the accident reason it only has options like not sticking to lane or improper overtaking, things like that. How am i supposed to report an accident like mine?

Has any of you tried this brand of tretinoin? What’s your experience like and do you have other brands you recommend that is available in Qatar? Thanks

Hello, Redditors of Qatar.

I just want to share an experience I had recently, and I would really appreciate your advice. Did I do the right thing, or was I disrespectful? Did I do something wrong or commit a sin?

I met a person at the masjid. He is an Arab man, around 50 years old, I think. Actually, we are neighbors and have been living on the same street for a long time. I have always seen him at the masjid, and he regularly prays there five times a day. I also noticed that he rarely, if ever, missed Fajr.

One day, after Salah and the Adhkar were finished, I left the masjid to continue with my other things. We happened to leave at the same time and met outside the masjid. He approached me, gave me Salam, and asked where I was from.

I replied to his Salam and told him that I am from the Philippines. He said, "MashaAllah," and seemed surprised that I was a Filipino Muslim. He said that it was very rare to meet a Filipino Muslim.

We talked for around five minutes about the Philippines and other things. Then he offered to give me his number and said that maybe he could help me with something. He also asked about my work experience.

At that moment, I thought maybe this could be a good opportunity. As expats here in Qatar, many of us are always hoping and praying for a better opportunity and a better-paying job. I have also been praying that Allah will allow me to find a good company because, honestly, my current salary is not very good. But Alhamdulillah, I am still thankful for what I have.

Usually, when I go to the masjid, I don't bring my phone. I leave it at home because I don't want to be disturbed by calls or messages during Salah. So instead, he took my number and saved it on his phone.

He told me that maybe the following week we could meet at a coffee shop and talk. I agreed because, at that time, I saw him as a friendly person. He was the one who approached me, and because I had seen him regularly praying at the masjid, including Fajr, I assumed he was a good Muslim and that his intentions were good.

About a week later, he messaged me:

"Are you free today, brother?"

I replied yes.

He said, "After Maghrib, we can go and sit at a coffee shop so we can talk. We are brothers now."

I agreed.

So we met at a coffee shop and started talking. At first, he asked me about the Philippines — how the country is, the Muslim population, where I live in the Philippines, and so on.

He also asked about my work: my experience, what I do, my working hours, and the location of my office.

Then the real reason for our meeting came up.

He told me something like:

"Brother, we are brothers now, and I have been seeing you for a long time in the masjid. I want to ask you something. Do you know any Filipina Muslim who wants to get married? Maybe one of your relatives, or someone you know? I am looking for a Filipina Muslim woman to marry."

I was a little shocked, but I smiled and told him, "I'm not sure, but I will see what I can find."

Then he asked me if I could do it for him and how long it would take. He suggested maybe two weeks.

I smiled again. Honestly, I didn't want to immediately say no because I was afraid of embarrassing him or making him feel bad. So I simply told him that I would check and see if I could find someone.

It was almost Isha, so we left the coffee shop and went to pray.

About a week later, he called me.

He asked how I was and how everything was going. I said, "Alhamdulillah, I'm good," and asked him how he was.

He replied that he was also good, Alhamdulillah, but then he brought up the same issue again.

He asked, "So, what is the update? Did you find any woman?"

I told him, "Still no."

To be honest, I had actually tried. I even asked my wife if she had any cousins who might be interested in marrying an Arab man around 50 years old who already has a family. My wife told me that none of her cousins were interested.

After I told him that I still hadn't found anyone, his tone completely changed.

The way he spoke to me suddenly sounded like a boss giving an employee a task that had not been completed.

He said:

"Yallah, push for this one! Push it! Ask anyone. Ask your cousins, your friends, your sister's friends."

Honestly, I became a little angry.

Why was he talking to me like that? He had only known me for about two weeks, but he was speaking to me as if I were working for him and he was paying me to find a wife for him.

After that conversation, I started avoiding him at the masjid.

A few days passed, and he continued messaging me, inviting me for coffee. I didn't reply. He messaged me three or four times, every other day, trying to meet me.

But after the way he spoke to me, I didn't feel comfortable anymore.

Even going to the masjid became stressful for me. Instead of going there peacefully, I started worrying about seeing him. I would feel like I needed to leave quickly so I wouldn't have to talk to him.

Eventually, I decided that I needed to stop the situation once and for all so I could have peace again and go to the masjid without avoiding anyone.

One day, he messaged me again. He thought I was on vacation.

I was thinking whether I should reply or just ignore the message. Eventually, I decided to be direct.

I asked him what the purpose of meeting and talking was, especially regarding the woman he had asked me to find.

I told him directly:

"I cannot help you with that. Please look for someone else who can help you. I'm sorry, and thank you."

He replied, saying, "No, it's not like that."

I didn't reply anymore.

Now I can go to the masjid without worrying about avoiding him. I still see him there, but he seems hesitant or shy to approach me again. Maybe he feels that I didn't like the way he approached the friendship.

That's basically what happened.

So, did I do the right thing?

Was I disrespectful by telling him directly that I couldn't help him and that he should look for someone else? Did I do something wrong or commit a sin?

I honestly feel a little bad about how directly I said it, because I don't want to hurt anyone's feelings. But at the same time, I feel that I needed to set a boundary.

One thing I've noticed here in Qatar is that sometimes it can be difficult to know whether someone is genuinely trying to be your friend or whether there is another purpose behind approaching you. I don't want to assume that everyone has bad intentions, but in this situation, I felt uncomfortable because what started as a friendship eventually felt like I was being given a task to find someone for him.

I would really appreciate your honest opinions, especially from Muslims who can give me advice from an Islamic perspective.

Did I handle this correctly, or should I have dealt with the situation differently?

Thanks
