Doha - Post Report Question and Answers
Do you feel that it is safe to walk, run or hike outside? Are there areas where bike riding is possible? What is the availability and safety of outdoor space for exercising? Are these easily accessible?
The safest place I have ever been. You can walk around freely, even at night without any worries. Bike riding is available in certain areas, but I would not say it is extremely accessible, mainly in parks and along the Corniche. Not many places for hiking. It's safe to walk and run, but the heat in the summer will make you second guess doing so! - Apr 2025
It is sooooooo safe here. You won't want to run at some point outside due to heat and pollution but everyone has different tolerances. I don't bike ride so no idea. People ride around the compound and there are bike paths I have seen. Again, it is SOOOOOOO safe here, I never imagined how amazing that would feel. - Apr 2025
Doha is so safe (outside of crazy drivers). It makes every other place look dangerous. - Oct 2024
This is the safest place I have ever lived. We have to remind ourselves to be more careful in other place we go to because you become so complacent. The teens take Ubers on their own, I as a woman by myself have no issue being out on my own no matter the hour and people don't steal if you leave something on a table. My kids can wander in the malls ahead of me and I am never worried about them. You realize how much stress school safety, gun shootings, knifings, etc. have brought in your life once you live here. It is absolutely lovely to feel so safe. - Jun 2024
