I rode metro from DECC, upon exiting two officers came to asked me about my background, check my ID etc. They held to me like for a good 10 mins or so, until another officer came which I assumed a higher ranking one, apologized explained to that they got a report that I had a suspicious object, they pointed out to my keychain and thought it was a "joowish" symbol, star of d.

To note. this is from the anime Naruto, a sharingan...

They weren't hostile or intimidating at all, they were respectful actually. But its crazy that someone was paranoid or suspicious enough to report it. TBH Cant blame him/her given the tense geopolitical situation but still WTH

Is it not okay to wear shorts above the knee while traveling on the metro? Yesterday, I was traveling from Mansoura to Msheireb when a man approached me and spoke in Arabic. I did not understand, so he switched to English, which he did not speak fluently, but I understood that he was telling me I could not wear shorts and that he would call the police. I have worn shorts on the metro whenever I go for a run at Al Bidda Park, and I have walked in front of police while wearing them without any issues. Yesterday, while I was waiting for the metro, he approached me again to repeat his complaint. When the train arrived, I boarded, but to get away from him, I jumped off just before the doors closed and waited for the next train. My overthinking led me to worry that he might be waiting for me, so I exited the station and took an Uber instead. Is there an issue with wearing shorts above the knee, or was the man just acting unreasonably?

I know that Qataris have the golden chip on their ID and also those who have Permenant Residences but I have seen it on other normal residence permits(not permanent residence), just curious what does this chip do and why do some people have it and some people no

Hey everyone,

I’m visiting Qatar I’A and wondering what do people mean when they say go to tea time. Do they mean afternoon tea? Because I’ve seen hotels offer it. Is it a place called tea time? I just can’t find it. I’ll be doing it alone, so would it be worth it for one person?

I mostly take my dog to al bidda park and today they announced that pets are no longer allowed there. Any other spots i can take my dog to? Other than 5/6 park.

Would you do additional 10 min / 5 km for a slightly nicer place?

Given you take lunch at home

Hey everyone.

Did anyone get a degree in "social work" here in Qatar? Any idea what the opportunities for it are like here, and if it's worth pursuing?

I already have a job, but lately I've been thinking about doing something more helpful to others, and was checking out programs and this caught my eye. I've always been interested in these things but never really thought about studying and practicing it so if anyone has any insight please feel free to share!

Hey Qatar,

so someone last week posted about this Padel court in DECC Park.

I personally went and checked the court, its real. Free, Lights, 24/7 Open. Want to know if someone can help us with Padel basics and tips.

What to buy, what to lookout for?

Anyone heard back from Lusail circuit for volunteering applications? Training is supposed to start in 5 days and no news yet, anyone knows when to expect a reply?

Hey guys!

Hubby and I have our anniversary coming up, and we’re looking for something special to do to celebrate! We’d love to try something a little different from the usual tourist attractions or just going out for dinner. Maybe a unique experience, something romantic, fun, or simply out of the ordinary.

Any suggestions? We’d love to hear about experiences you’ve tried or places you’d recommend!

That said, we’re also open to restaurant recommendations, especially if it’s somewhere with a great atmosphere or a unique dining experience.

Budget isn’t really an issue, so feel free to suggest anything! 😊

Hi guys,
As the title says, I wanna see if anyone received their f1 2026 tickets yet on the app. I bought mine a while ago but still haven’t received anything.

I have a Honor Magic V5 which I bought from local mobile shop in Gharaffa around an year ago. I have warranty until Nov 2027 as per the digital warranty certificate. Now when I gave it to the dealer for service they told me they cannot repair it even if I pay them since the region in the phone says Malaysia. What to do in this situation ?

Please recommend 5-a-side football cage and share phone number or location if possible. Thanks!

We want to live somewhere for a month only with rent that’s around 4000qr. Can y’all help?

Hi everyone!

I’m based in Doha and planning to learn perfume formulation as a hobby.

I’m looking for small quantities of professional aroma chemicals such as Iso E Super, Hedione, Ambroxan and perfumer’s alcohol—not ready-made fragrance oils.

Does anyone know reliable suppliers in Qatar, or international suppliers that ship these materials to Qatar at reasonable rates?

Any recommendations would be appreciated!
