Doha - Post Report Question and Answers

What kind of vehicle(s) including electric ones do you recommend bringing to post, given the terrain, infrastructure, availability of parts, burglary/carjacking risks, etc.? What kind of car or vehicles do you advise not to bring?

Qatar has the five year rule for bringing cars in so keep that in mind. There are always cars for sale through the embassy paper. I recommend a six-cylinder since it is very hot and you want a good air conditioner. There are many white carshere and mostly SUVs. No problem at all with safety and that will be by far the biggest joy of living here. With all the Land Cruisers/Rovers on the road, driving a civic might feel intimidating but is doable. Once you attend the camel races, the driving will make more sense. - Oct 2023
