I'm 20 years old living in Qatar and I have no idea how people meet others after they graduate from their school.

I'm curious if people have actually been able to make friends after schooling, cause all the friends that I have in Qatar are from my previous school. If you're one of these people, I would love to hear how u managed to make friends in your young adult/adult life.

I'm sure this question has been asked before, so I apologize in advance if it has lol

Outside 46°C Inside the office: Antarctica.

I leave my car feeling like a rotisserie chicken, walk 20 metres, enter the building and suddenly I need a North Face jacket and emotional support.

Today I saw one guy drinking hot tea while wearing a hoodie in AUGUST.

Meanwhile the thermostat is sitting there proudly showing 19°C like it has something to prove.

Why is there no middle ground in Qatar

We either cook outside or get cryogenically preserved inside.

Hey guys I have been looking for a good Gastroenterologist doctor and people keep recommending internal medicine doctors.
I need one specialized in gastro problems because I have sort of a complicated case and seen many internal medicine doctors through the years and done many tests and still no solution.
I want a good professional one. Any recommendations would be appreciated. Thanks a lot

Hello everyone. I just wanted to kindly ask if you could take a minute of your time to make du’a for my dad, asking Allah to grant him a complete recovery. 🥹
He truly means the world to me, and I would deeply appreciate every single du’a.
دعاء ٤٠ غريب مستجاب
the du’a of forty strangers is accepted, so I’m hoping that through your du’as, Allah will answer and grant him shifā’, بإذن الله.
نسأل الله العظيم رب العرش العظيم أن يشفي كل مريض، وأن يلبس الجميع ثوب الصحة والعافية، ويمنّ بالشفاء العاجل الذي لا يغادر سقماً.
May Allah reward every one of you for taking the time to make du’a, and may He grant healing, health, and ease to every person who is suffering. 🤍
جزاكم الله خير و بارك الله فيكم
Edit: thank you sooooo much for all the replies, I’m beyond thankful🥹🩷
إن شاء الله يكون في ميزان حسناتكم والله لا يوريكم مكروه في غالي

Is there anywhere in Qatar where you can request for a Laptop Loan ( decent Laptop ) capable of running engineering programs like MATLAB ASPEN HYSYS AUTOCAD. I know QU used to provide these services in the past but it looks like they have discontinued. Is it possible to look elsewhere or ask a different agency as I am in urgent need of one. My laptops been running for the last 7 years and it cant keep up anymore, always crashes when I open complex software.

If anyone knows anything abt where to ask please let me know.

I’m asking for help from the women in this group — please read if you can.
I’m real and ready to prove everything and the person can come to the hospital I’m now (Al Alhi)
I know this may not be the right place to post this, but I am honestly appealing to your humanity. I am a 25-year-old Mozambican student currently studying in Russia. I have been in Qatar for about a month, and I have no family or close friends here.

I lost my pregnancy in June. Unfortunately, I did not receive the medical care I needed at the time, and I was bleeding for almost a month.

Last Thursday, I was diagnosed with a 10 cm pelvic abscess. Since then, I have been taking antibiotics and trying to get medical treatment.

I first went to the Women’s Wellness and Research Center, but I was told that they could not treat me because I am in Qatar on a Hayya visa. They referred me to another hospital, where I saw a gynecologist on Friday. I had an ultrasound, blood tests and urine tests, and I have all of my medical results with me.

I was supposed to leave Qatar on Sunday, and my flight had already been paid for. The hotel and everything else had also been arranged. Unfortunately, my health deteriorated.

On Saturday night, I started the medication. It was literally the last money I had available. By Sunday, I became worse and started having pus discharge from my vagina. I was very worried and went back to the Women’s Wellness and Research Center, as I had been instructed to do if my condition worsened.

However, I was told again that they could not treat me and that I needed to go to a private clinic.

I went to a private clinic, registered, and was told that I needed to pay QAR 400 just for a consultation with the doctor. I have QIC travel insurance, but I was told that my insurance could not be used for this treatment.

I simply could not afford the QAR 400.

I had no choice but to return home.

My visa expired on Sunday, I missed my flight, I am sick, and I honestly don’t know where to begin resolving everything. But more than the flight, the hotel, the visa or the money, my health is what is frightening me the most right now.

I am in pain, I cannot sleep properly, and I am still having pus discharge. I am very scared because I don’t know what is happening inside my body or what I should do next.

I am not a resident of Qatar. I am only a student in Russia, and I came here temporarily. I have no close friends or family in Qatar whom I can turn to.

I am therefore asking, from the bottom of my heart: if there is anyone in this group who can help me access a hospital, a doctor, emergency medical care, or even guide me to someone who can help in this situation, please contact me.

I am not asking for anything complicated. I just need medical intervention and someone to help me find a way to receive treatment.

I can provide my medical reports, test results, ultrasound results and any other documents necessary.

I have just come to another hospital (alAhli)After examining me, they told me that I need to be admitted to the hospital. I already paid the 400 that was required for the consultation/medical assessment.

However, before they can admit me, they told me I need to buy tablets costing 150 and an injection costing 75. Unfortunately, I have no money left at all.

They also told me that I need to stay in the hospital for at least one day, and the cost of the admission is 5,000.

The most frightening part is that the hospital (HMC)I was previously referred to as being able to treat me has already rejected me twice and even here, they are still talking about HMC, if can’t afford al ahli, I am desperately trying to find a solution because I need treatment. The doctor explained to me that the longer the infection remains untreated, the greater the risk that it will spread.

I am not asking for help for something that can wait. I genuinely need medical treatment. I am sick, scared, and honestly don’t know what else to do right now.

I have medical documents, prescriptions, payment receipts, test results, and proof of everything, and I can provide them to anyone who would like to verify my situation.

If anyone can help, even with a small amount, or if you know of a hospital or organization that could help me receive treatment in this situation, I would be incredibly grateful. 🙏🏾

Any help right now could make a huge difference for me

I will leave my WhatsApp number below. If you are able to help, know a doctor or hospital that may be able to assist, or simply know where I can go for urgent treatment in my situation, please reach out to me.

Thank you for taking the time to read this. I know this is a lot to ask, but right now I genuinely have nowhere else to turn. ❤️

So basically I transferred 42qr to the wrong number in snoonu using snoonu wallet I must have put a 4 or 6 instead and it transferred to the wrong account so I instantly contacted support and they said they can't do anything about it even tho I told them the situation and I even asked them to transfer it to the correct account without giving me the money back they still said no I even asked them if they could tell me the number I transferred the money to since snoonu just says the name and not the phone number they still said no and that they can't do anything about it actually disappointing of an app is there any other way I can try getting my money back anything helps thank you.

Hi everyone, I’m wondering how practical public transportation is here. Is it good enough for getting around day to day, or would I basically need a car?

Turkish? Arabic? Lebanese? Let me know your recommendations!

Title. I’d like to try different other (affordable) cafés other than mainstream ones like Cup&Go, Bo’s Coffee, etc… Similar to Cotti’s prices, if any 🫩

Thanks!

I went to rayan traffic recently because there was an issue with the accident I registered. Like other traffic departments, i went to the token machine behind this police guy and he started shouting at me asking me why i went there. Then i tried explaining my problem and he asked me to do from metrash and literally to get out of the police station. When i told him i am not sure how to solve it through metrash he replied that i should be knowing it and again started shouting get out or I’ll throw you in jail. Then i had to go out and come back and try speaking to him multiple times till the actual receptionist came and advised what to do.

In these last 2 months, after living in Doha for over 5 years and driving on the road for almost 4, I have had my worst experiences so far.

The first time I was stopping at a traffic signal. Car was dirty because I had to park it all day in the sun. Used wipers. It seems a bit of dust made it to this Jetour behind me. The guy lost it, started flashing, opened the windows, kept harassing me as the traffic lights went green and everyone was driving. He came in front of me, blocked me then came to the side and threw a bottle of water in my face when I tried to have a polite conversation and say it wasn’t intentional. At the time I wasn’t even aware that he was angry because I wiped my car’s front windows!

And he happens to wear Gulf traditional clothing. I love Qatar, and some of my kindest interactions ever are with Qataris - so my intention here isn’t to generalise.

The second interaction was a couple of days ago. I’m driving into my lane on the highway leading to an exit. This Range Rover suddenly drives into my lane, almost hits my car, did NOT signal. I wouldn’t have been able to give way even if I wanted to. He almost collided but I narrowly escaped being hit by increasing my speed. He goes after me, flashing and beeping. Then goes in front of me, blocks my pathway then rolls down the window, my heart literally sank. Then shows up a lady in black abaya (probably middle-aged) into the lane next to me. I roll down the window to try and understand what she needs but she goes in front of me to block me but I basically took the next right when she wouldn’t let me through and she had to keep going straight.

I got home then kept asking myself if i did anything wrong. Then I go to check if my car and her have hit but not a scratch! So why did this even need to happen to begin with!!

No fresh chicken showing up on delivery apps for months in Qatar. What’s the story?
