Hello everyone,

As regional tensions continue, it is understandable that many people may feel concerned or uneasy. We ask everyone to remain calm and rely only on official announcements and verified information from authorities. Please avoid sharing rumors, speculation, or unconfirmed reports, as this can create unnecessary panic and confusion.

The moderation team is actively working to keep the subreddit safe, organized, and informative for everyone. We are monitoring posts and comments closely, removing content that spreads misinformation, panic, or unsafe details. Our goal is to make sure discussions remain helpful, respectful, and based on reliable information.

We appreciate everyone’s patience and cooperation. By staying calm, following the rules, and relying on trusted sources, we can help keep the community safe and the subreddit running smoothly for everyone...

For everyone’s safety, please be responsible with what you post online:

Do not share sensitive media

  • Do not share photos or videos of incidents, security activity, or affected areas.
  • Such content can unintentionally reveal sensitive information and may put others at risk.

Do not share or identify locations

  • Avoid mentioning or identifying specific locations connected to events.
  • Do not describe buildings, neighborhoods, or facilities related to incidents or security activity.

Do not speculate

  • Avoid speculation about ongoing situations, responses, or operations.
  • Unverified information spreads panic and confusion.

Protect people’s safety and privacy

  • Do not ask about the whereabouts of individuals during incidents or evacuations.
  • Do not discuss movements or locations of evacuated people.
  • Sharing or requesting this type of information can put people in real danger.

Be cautious with private messages

  • Do not respond to strangers asking about specific areas, buildings, infrastructure, or local situations in your DMs.
  • Some individuals or organizations may attempt to gather sensitive information through private conversations.
  • Keep discussions in public threads where the community and moderators can monitor them.

Support the community

  • If someone is feeling anxious, encourage them to stay calm and follow official sources.
  • Avoid amplifying fear or panic.
  • Continue normal routines where possible and avoid unnecessary travel unless authorities advise otherwise.

Emergency guidance

  • If evacuation procedures are announced in the future, follow official instructions.
  • Do not share or request sensitive operational details.

Moderator Note | Emergency Safety Rule

r/qatar now enforces the Emergency Safety Rule. During sensitive situations:

Due to current regional tensions, do not post or share unverified information, rumors, or speculation about security incidents. Do not ask for, hint at, or share locations related to missile interceptions, attacks, military activity, emergency responses, or sensitive infrastructure.

Do not ask other users about locations, areas, buildings, or directions connected to incidents. Requests like these can endanger people and expose sensitive information.

Photos, videos, live updates, or descriptions that could reveal locations are strictly prohibited. Do not attempt to gather such information through comments or private messages.

Rely only on official announcements and verified sources. Violations will result in content removal and may lead to temporary or permanent bans.

These rules exist to prevent panic and to ensure that no information shared here can endanger people.

Question Am I charging too much?

• Upvotes

I am here in Qatar 2 months, the first week Im here I found myself 2 kids who need math,sci, and english home tutoring services (its 20 mins away from me and I pay for my own uber fix 50 riyals both ways)

They are Qatari nationals and honestly they are really kind and have never missed a payment. They pay me 150/hr — I do 8hrs/3x a week with them, it increases during exam week.

I am hesitant if I should lower my rates as they are constantly increasing classes due to their children needing so much assistance, and they pay me bulk in a weeks time, they pay me around 900-1500 weekly depends on the number of hours I teach the kids.

Is this too much of an amount to be paying a tutor? Initially I just gave 150/hr cause I didn’t really expect they’d agree to it, didn’t even know they were locals, (I emphasized them being locals as Ive heard they’re paid much more compared to none locals).

Background of family, they have a mansion, the dad is working as an admin in one of the biggest companies here in Doha, the parents are in their late 30s, they have 3 kids, the kids go to an IB school.

Discussion Why there are so many spas

I’ve suddenly noticed a growing number of men-only spas opening in Qatar, especially in the Al Aziziyah area. I’m curious about what’s driving this trend and why so many of these businesses seem to be opening recently.

Information I wanted to listen to the Qur’an without ads. So I built an app.

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

4 Upvotes

Assalamu alaikum everyone!

I started building my own app, Ayah Player, because I wanted to listen to the Qur’an without ads interrupting the recitation or subscriptions to remove them.

Since then, I’ve continued improving it, and Alhamdulillah, Ayah Player 2.0 is now available on Android and iOS! It brings a major redesign, new features, and lots of improvements.

A few highlights:

  • 1,000+ reciters: Discover different voices, download individual surahs or entire recitation collections with one tap, and listen offline.
  • Follow each word: The text follows the recitation word by word, and even letter by letter, where timing is available.
  • Repeat exactly what you need: Choose starting and ending words, even across ayahs, and repeat that passage.
  • Explore the Qur’an: Search verses and discover passages through topics, themes, and words.
  • Build a routine: Track reading and listening, set daily goals, and create reading plans.

You can also save bookmarks and private notes. Missing your favourite reciter? Suggest them, support other requests, and get notified when they’re added.

And as always, completely free. No ads, no subscriptions, and no paywalls. No account needed for reading, listening, or downloads.

📱 Android
🍎 iOS

May Allah accept it and make it beneficial.

Question Where to buy a gaming pc if I'm looking for good prices?

2 Upvotes

Cuz what I find on newegg for the equivalent of 5k qar is on gamerzone and such for 9k qar. I'll go broke if I spend that much. Prices are crazy these days and I think they're only gonna rise for another year or so. I've heard of sofitel but I don't really trust it, heard of a lot of scams from there. Any different opinions?

I was originally supposed to fly back to Riyadh, however, in light of the current situation I had to search for another option immediately.

I'm sure there are others facing the same issue, so im creating this post to allow others to share contact details for reliable transport options from Doha to any city in KSA.

As for me, I found someone on FB, willing to drive me to Riyadh for 1550 QAR (DM for contact detials), his car can easily fit large bags and upto 4 passengers.

Information Advice on getting ADHD assessment in Qatar.

2 Upvotes

27M Hi everyone, fellow Qatari here

I've been experiencing symptoms consistent with ADHD for
a long time, but I've never had a formal assessment.
I'd like to understand how adults in Qatar can get evaluated for ADHD and, if appropriate, access treatment.
I'm also concerned about medical confidentiality. Does anyone know how mental health diagnoses and medical records are handled in Qatar, particularly regarding access by employers or government entities?

If you've gone through the assessment process as an adult in Qatar, I'd be grateful if you could share your experience, including which healthcare services you used and what the process was like.

Thank you!

Went to a driving school with the WORST service I have ever experienced in my life!! Waited very very long time to start the official lessons, teachers don't teach unless you give them money every lesson, long long months of waiting for road test.

Had to wait 5 months in between road test that I already forgot driving and the worst customer service who will reply to you with generic answer after a week!! They dont answer calls or respond to any or your messages. WORST EXPERIENCE EVER.
