Tourist guide to Qatar

If there are errors in the passport (such as mismatched gender, missing information in the lower section, etc.), Indian travelers may be denied entry abroad and face subsequent deportation.

In Qatar, payments can be made using several types of currency:

  • Local currency QAR (Qatari Riyal), exchange rate approximately 3.64 = 1 USD
  • US dollars, approximately 1 USD = 3.64 QAR, but only banknotes issued after 2009 are accepted

It is not recommended to carry euros as there is no fixed exchange rate.

Exchanging euros to QAR is possible only at specialized exchange offices.

Attempting to bring alcohol into Qatar will result in confiscation by customs authorities, with the alcohol returned upon departure from the country.

The Qatar Ministry of Public Health has removed any medical insurance requirements for tourists staying up to 30 days. This decision is already in effect.

  • The policy may be purchased from any insurance company
  • The policy may have any coverage

All tourists staying 30 days or more must carry a medical insurance policy from a company approved by the Qatar Ministry of Public Health.

Information about the meeting point at Doha Airport can be found here.

  • When booking excursions from India, upon arrival at the resort, tourists need to contact the guide to arrange the excursion date.
  • For group and sightseeing excursions, if the minimum group size (4 people) is not met, the excursion may be canceled.
  • Excursion prices are non-commissionable.
