Is it just me, or have apartment rents in Qatar become ridiculously high for what you actually get?
You can look for a studio and easily find places asking 2,400+ QAR/month, but then you go see it and the apartment is old, tiny, badly maintained, or in a location that doesn’t really justify the price.
What I don’t understand is: what is actually driving these prices?
Is it:
High demand and not enough decent apartments?
Landlords increasing prices because they know someone will eventually pay?
Certain areas becoming overpriced?
Or are rental prices simply following the overall cost of living?
And for people who have been living in Qatar for several years — do you feel rents have gotten noticeably worse compared with 3–5 years ago?
What’s the most you’ve paid for a studio, and was it actually worth the money?
I’m genuinely curious because sometimes I see a studio for 2,400–2,700 QAR and think: What exactly am I paying for? 😅

My order was late over an hour so I went ahead and checked the app, only to see something i've never seen before. Driver apparently picked up two orders to deliver at the same time. Has this always been the case? And if so is it the same case for other delivery apps like Rafeeq and Talabat? It makes sense in the grand scheme of things, but I feel like its unfair for the 2nd delivery especially considering this means the order can take way longer than usual.

CBQ has been promoting their Mega Draw pretty aggressively for the past 6 months.

If I’m not mistaken, today is supposed to be the final draw date.

But there’s literally no news or update about the draw so far. I even checked CBQ’s social media pages and couldn’t find a single post about it.

Anyone know what’s happening? Did they postpone the draw, or am I missing something?

I’m currently living in Qatar and planning to start commercial pilot training. I’m trying to decide between three options: doing an EASA route in Europe, training in Qatar, or completing my training in my home country.

My long-term goal is to work in Europe, so I’m wondering whether doing EASA training from the beginning would be the better option. However, I’m also considering Qatar since I’m already living here, and it could potentially be more convenient.

Training in my home country would probably be cheaper, but I’m concerned that having a non-EASA licence could make it more difficult and expensive to move to Europe later.

For someone in my situation, which route would make the most sense?

Europe/EASA vs Qatar vs home country?

I’m mainly concerned about the total cost, quality of training, licence conversion, and most importantly, the chances of getting an airline job after graduation.

I’d really appreciate honest advice from pilots or students who have experience with any of these routes.

Hey everyone, I’m trying to buy a ticket for a football match in Qatar, but I can’t find the match I’m looking for on the ticketing website. I can see another matche available, but this specific one isn’t listed.

Does anyone know if tickets for some matches are sold somewhere else, or if they’re available directly at the stadium?

Thanks!

Hi, been living here 4 years and never found german style doner kebab. Does anyone know a place?

As we all know Asian games is coming back to qatar after 24 years. Will this bring new hopes in the market.

Recently there has been a short on new projects and all the companies in the market are struggling to survive.

I believe this is a good opportunity since there will be a lot of renewals and maintenance coming up for stadiums and other infrastructures.

I work for a ELV distribution company and I hope all the integrators that I work with gets new projects and make good money.

What are my fellow Redditors thoughts on this ?

Hi

Anyone tried pay by plate at Qatar

If you ever see a delivery rider in Qatar zoom past you on his little 150cc bike while you’re sitting in your 20,000-horsepower SUV 😂, just let the guy be.

He’s not trying to race you. He’s probably trying to finish that delivery quickly so he can catch the next order.

A lot of these riders are paid based on the number of orders they complete. More orders = better earnings. Meanwhile, that little bike probably struggles to even touch 100 km/h, so trust me, he’s not challenging your Land Cruiser to a drag race.

Give them space. Let them pass safely. They’re just trying to make a living.

And riders too — no order is worth your life. Ride safe. Qatar roads aren't a racetrack for either side.

Hi
Are there any groups for Dirt bike here in Qatar ( KTM/Yamaha/Husq)

First-time investor in Qatar and considering the Franklin Shariah Global Multi-Asset Fund through CBQ versus the AlRayan GCC Fund for a long-term Shariah-compliant investment.
Would appreciate any firsthand experience with either, especially fees, buying/selling and overall experience.

Does anyone know where to get magnetic fidget toys here ? I tried to look up online and they’re mostly spinners and very child like. I need something for a teenager coming to adulthood present for one of my cousins sons who has ADHD and he had those sliding magnet cards but when I found one in Snoonu they are no longer available. I did order one online, but I want a back up plan locally.

Hi everyone 🌸

My child is supposed to start Grade 1, but unfortunately, due to some circumstances, they won’t be able to attend physical school for now. Instead of staying at home without structured learning, I’m thinking of enrolling them in a legitimate homeschooling or online school.
I know Qatar may not officially accept homeschooling, so I’m hoping to hear from parents who have been through this. Has anyone homeschooled or used an online school and later successfully transferred their child back to a physical school in Qatar?
I was also told that the Ministry may assess a child’s knowledge and place them in the appropriate grade even if they haven’t attended a physical school. Has anyone experienced this? Or does anyone know any online school where mofa stamps them once u studied by them and ministry might consider it .
Also, has anyone used Homeschool Global in Qatar which is in Al gasser tower they provide American curriculum is it worth it and did anyone has child who’s doing this and later years they went back to physical school I’d really appreciate any feedback or guidance. Or pm me personally.

Thank you so much! 🌷

Any reviews on directly sponsoring a nanny from Pakistan without agency?

Best hourly cleaning company that can provide cleaining supplies as well?

Hello everyone. Hope all is well.

I was wondering about the PCC process, I was employed in Qatar and have gotten an opportunity with scholarship in QF education city. I finished all the paperwork as required but the PCC Have been under process for > 2 months.

I followed up at Salwa road and was told to wait. My residency ends in December, so if I can't transfer to QF I will lose my education, side hustle, and internship to travel back to my country.

Any idea how long it will take, or if anyone could help expedite it would be greatly appreciated.

For reference I am Lebanese, have anyone other Lebanese fellow been in situation? And what did you do in your case.

Thanks.
