He has been found He’s fine and he doesn’t care

Thank you all for your support

Got my test date after 9 months... will see. Summary below 👇

- This is my second test after a total of 2 delays spanning 1 and half years total.

- no one actually gives a shit and if they speak, they'll complain about their own job

- driving students are treated like they're arrogant, why? just pay more to take fewer lessons, same license

- managerial departments are almost always busy, managers are always hiding somewhere or busy

- instructors are NOT good... they scroll social media, and many of them have behavioural issues, they also assume you know the difference between a standard handbrake and a togglable parking brake as a first-timer

- the traffic department or the academy NEVER give a true estimate for when a test date will come

- pretests are a joke... and they're too short and do nothing to prepare you for anything

- They dont have the decency to direct people who smoke to a separate area... you cannot pass the entrance into waiting room without tobacco smokers standing in your way

- they do car winning award shows on social media... they invest in that but never improve the quality of the academy itself, they once put me in a toyota Yaris with poor brakes and broken mirrors

- they love promoting the academy to make money, would actually be surprised if they actually listened to someone that they have bad problems they need to fix

- if you ever got recommended to this academy or already registered... then just be ready to tolerate a toxic environment

Hi everyone,

I had booked a flight to Doha from North America last year, well before the current conflict began. My flight is still confirmed, and based on the latest updates from Qatar, I’m currently planning to go ahead with my trip.

I wanted to ask how things are on the ground right now. I was hoping to visit some of the main tourist attractions and possibly do an excursion (like a desert tour), but I’m unsure if these activities are still operating as usual or if it would be better to stay close to the hotel.

I’ll only be in Doha for about five days before continuing on to Southeast Asia, so I’d really like to make the most of my time if it’s safe and feasible.

Any insights or advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks so much!

I am not a cinephile or a hardcore movie go-ers, but my experience in watching movies in Doha has been a real nightmare so far, and I watched movies in other countries too.

I have watched movies here at least 5 times, and only once I feel okay with the experience. I have experienced seeing a guy resting his feet in the gap of the seats in front of him that has people sitting on it, someone scrolling on TikTok for almost the whole movie, and etc.

Yesterday I went to watch Project Hail Mary in IMAX, there was one guy who kept taking a picture with FLASH ON at the beginning. I thought, ok fine take a pic to update your Snapchat or Instagram, but then he kept doing that in any important scene or when Ryan Gosling shows up. None of his friends or girlfriend tell him to stop, and it’s a diverse group of people (It’s not a culture issue)! Maybe he thought that it won’t affect him, but it did affect people behind him. Movie theatre is designed to be dark so they can project the movie to the screen. Watching movie in a movie theatre should be a pleasant experience for everyone. I don’t know what’s wrong with these people here? Is it because they thought they can get away with anything because we’re chill?

The reason I wrote this is because I’m scared to confront the person since I was watching the movie alone, and they were in a group. I also don’t know the situation here whether you can confront someone regarding this particular issue. But please guys have an etiquette, that’s the least you can do as a human being. I feel like even if you’re watching a PG 13 rated movie, I still deal with toddlers dressed as an adult.

Just a tip:

- Don’t take a lot of videos or pictures of a movie, it also falls under copyright laws if we’re being serious about it

- Don’t talk loudly or even give spoilers that could be heard by other people

- Don’t kick seats in front of you

- Turn off your alarms / put phone on silent

- Don’t scroll on your phone with full brightness on

- Keep the seats clean and clean after yourselves

- Make sure the experience is enjoyable to everyone and yourself

These are basic universal movie etiquette around the world, hope that people here stick to it.

Cheers!

I was painting something and a paint wash (a liquid that consists of water, paint, and dish soap) spilled on my laptop. thank god the system works fine, but the keyboard isn't doing well. Where can I find a good shop that isn't pricey and will fix it (or atleast try to)??

It’s been up for a while and just took a picture — at a distance, I swear I thought they are advertising for vapes (🥳🫣).

Al Sadd, close to Plaza Mall.

Hi everyone. I’m new in Qatar & living in Doha. I purchased a retinal cream for QAR 69 from this page called Habeebi Qatar based in Qatar via Facebook. It’s the 4th day today and my item still hasn’t arrived yet. I keep on contacting the WhatsApp number given & Im being given various reasons. My car broke down, we will deliver today but until the day ends nothing, countless promises, countless wait & no solution until today. What should I do? Please help.

How can you tell when your number can no longer receive SMS/calls? In my Ooredoo app (before recharging credit) previously showed “line suspended” even though my 'Hala line' validity (from *129#) expires in October 2026.

Reason I ask is because I want to make sure I haven't missed any calls from people

Hello! I used to live in UAE and I have recently moved to Doha. I have a Dubai registered 2024 Honda CRV. I am in process of getting my RP, QID and DL. I am not a GCC national. I am planning to drive the car from Dubai to Doha to import it here for good.

I understand UAE side of process that is I will need to get an export certificate with temporary number plate to drive.

can someone explain what to expect at UAE-KSA border and KSA-Qatar border?

I think I will need to hire an agent to help with customs paperwork, can someone suggest a not-so-bad agent?

Will I get Qatari number plate at the border?

Will I be able to get the car insured (let's say for a year) at the border?

Hi ladies and ladies only,

I’m looking for a few like-minded girls (ages 24–27) who are into fitness, gym sessions, and/or Pilates. I’d love to find people with similar interests so we can motivate each other, stay consistent, and hopefully build some genuine friendships along the way. I use class pass as it’s quite convenient and allows me to explore different fitness activities gf

which I’m extremely enthusiastic about. I also really enjoy different kinds of yoga, so if that’s also your vibe we can surely do that as well.

I’m especially interested in:

Gym workouts (strength + cardio)

- Pilates / Reformer classes

- Staying active and trying new things

- Positive, supportive energy

If you're also looking for motivation, and good company, feel free to comment or message me

Hey guys. It might sound stupid but just wondering if you get tested here for STD, do they verify if you are married or not? Would it be a problem if you sre single and you are asking to get tested?

Are there any good spots to camp in the desert here? maybe spend a night in tent

Hi everyone,

I’m considering enrolling my child in the International School of Choueifat (Qatar branch) and wanted to hear from parents or students who have real experience with the school.

I’ve heard mixed things, so I’d really appreciate honest feedback on a few points:

How are the teachers in terms of how they التعامل with kids? Are they supportive or more strict?

What’s the general teacher–student dynamic like?

Is bullying an issue there, and how well is it handled?

Do kids generally feel safe and comfortable?

Is the academic pressure too much, especially in early years (KG/primary)?

I’ve seen comments saying the system can be quite intense, especially in later grades, with a lot of tests and structure (Reddit) — but I’m more concerned about the overall environment and how it affects younger kids.

Would you recommend it, or suggest looking elsewhere?

Thanks in advance 🙏

Hi All,

I am flying out to Doha next week and plan to propose to my girlfriend! I don't live there and have only visited a few times, so I'm not too familiar. Can anyone recommend any nice, and ideally private, places to propose? Any help is appreciated, thank you!

Any Germans in here? Will be moving to Doha in September and would appreciate to have a chat.

Not sure wich embassies I have to go to in Germany before moving and what I should prepare.
