About Doha.
I didnt really have a good time there.The part of Doha where I stayed
was really crappy, but there are some nice areas with nice view of
the sea up-town and around city center,
which is more modern and cosmopolitan looking.
The city is growing and the development in progress looks pretty impressive.
There are supermarket like Carrefour in the city center.
The exchange rate is almost dollar to dollar, 1 Qatar Riyal : 1 ringgit.
There are souks (bazaar) which should be good for tourist shopping -
i didnt get to visit any though. Generally everything is expensive,
though i was told clothes are slightly cheaper than KL at stores like Zara, MNG.
( i did buy a few Zara stuff ;-)).
There's a Dessert Safari which is supposed to be a must-see.

Prayer times pun very different Suboh 4.30, Z 11.30, Asr 2.30, Magrhrib 5, Isyak 6+.....
My experience in Doha, they are not as tourist friendly as Malaysia.
Language is not a big problem as most of them understand English,
just be patient coz the "slang" of malaysian english
and arabic english - message gets lost along the way.
Qatar is quite a strict islamic country
but you wont find any problems.
I find them very female friendly.....
airport immigration has special queues and waiting lounge for ladies.
Post a question if you need to know anything else,
but like i said i didnt get to experience much of Doha.
wassalam
