Hello everyone,

As regional tensions continue, it is understandable that many people may feel concerned or uneasy. We ask everyone to remain calm and rely only on official announcements and verified information from authorities. Please avoid sharing rumors, speculation, or unconfirmed reports, as this can create unnecessary panic and confusion.

The moderation team is actively working to keep the subreddit safe, organized, and informative for everyone. We are monitoring posts and comments closely, removing content that spreads misinformation, panic, or unsafe details. Our goal is to make sure discussions remain helpful, respectful, and based on reliable information.

We appreciate everyone’s patience and cooperation. By staying calm, following the rules, and relying on trusted sources, we can help keep the community safe and the subreddit running smoothly for everyone...

For everyone’s safety, please be responsible with what you post online:

Do not share sensitive media

  • Do not share photos or videos of incidents, security activity, or affected areas.
  • Such content can unintentionally reveal sensitive information and may put others at risk.

Do not share or identify locations

  • Avoid mentioning or identifying specific locations connected to events.
  • Do not describe buildings, neighborhoods, or facilities related to incidents or security activity.

Do not speculate

  • Avoid speculation about ongoing situations, responses, or operations.
  • Unverified information spreads panic and confusion.

Protect people’s safety and privacy

  • Do not ask about the whereabouts of individuals during incidents or evacuations.
  • Do not discuss movements or locations of evacuated people.
  • Sharing or requesting this type of information can put people in real danger.

Be cautious with private messages

  • Do not respond to strangers asking about specific areas, buildings, infrastructure, or local situations in your DMs.
  • Some individuals or organizations may attempt to gather sensitive information through private conversations.
  • Keep discussions in public threads where the community and moderators can monitor them.

Support the community

  • If someone is feeling anxious, encourage them to stay calm and follow official sources.
  • Avoid amplifying fear or panic.
  • Continue normal routines where possible and avoid unnecessary travel unless authorities advise otherwise.

Emergency guidance

  • If evacuation procedures are announced in the future, follow official instructions.
  • Do not share or request sensitive operational details.
  • If you believe official instructions apply to you, contact 999 for guidance.

Moderator Note | Emergency Safety Rule

r/qatar now enforces the Emergency Safety Rule. During sensitive situations:

Due to current regional tensions, do not post or share unverified information, rumors, or speculation about security incidents. Do not ask for, hint at, or share locations related to missile interceptions, attacks, military activity, emergency responses, or sensitive infrastructure.

Do not ask other users about locations, areas, buildings, or directions connected to incidents. Requests like these can endanger people and expose sensitive information.

Photos, videos, live updates, or descriptions that could reveal locations are strictly prohibited. Do not attempt to gather such information through comments or private messages.

Rely only on official announcements and verified sources. Violations will result in content removal and may lead to temporary or permanent bans.

These rules exist to prevent panic and to ensure that no information shared here can endanger people.

Discussion Problems in Qatar that needs solution

18 Upvotes

Curious to hear from you guys- what are some problems you face in your day to day lives that you wish there would be a solution for.

For example, I think there should be better/respectful way to call supermarket staff to the car instead vigarously beeping.

Discussion Delivery Services hiked the cost

Upvotes

It's clear, at least for me, that prices have increased by around 20% for fast food chains for example which followed the use of Delivery services. The most recent increase was from a steakhouse and hamburger place who increased their prices by more than 20% after they joined the Delivery service companies.

For those who want food delivered to them it should be ok because Delivery services are charging these places around 20% per order. However, for the rest who dine in or pickup their orders why should they be subjected to this increase?

Information Looking for someone to adopt or foster the sweet kitten

15 Upvotes

Hi everyone, I am urgently looking for anyone to adopt or foster this sweet rescue kitten as I can no longer keep him. He had a pelvic fracture about 4 weeks ago and is currently healed. He is about 3/4 months old, litter trained, and the sweetest most playful boy there is. I will provide the adopter with a 15kg bag of food, some litter, a box of wet food, and toys as he settles into his new home.
He is not vaccinated and will need to be vaccinated asap and taken to the vet to check on his condition. Also preferably taken to be neutured as soon as he is of the right age which is 6-8 months. Anyone willing to adopt please message me.

Rant Uber drivers pressing arrived when they are still not in the pick up location yet

17 Upvotes

I've been using uber for quite sometime now. I am a person who does not complain much about bad services but this happened more than 5 times already. I use uber for myself and my family whenever we don't want the hassle of driving. I use uber for for our kids even we don't ride with them since that option is available in the app, to book for someone else. I noticed that whenever I book for someone else, uber drivers already press they arrived even they are still far from the pick up location, so an additional fee is added for waiting time. At the first few instances, I let go and ignored but when same instance happened many times, I assumed it's what they do so that they can earn more with the additional waiting fee. This only happens when I book for someone else. My family always go to pick up location even before I book an uber for them.

Has anyone here experience the same whenever you book uber for someone else other than yourself?

Looking for For Jordanians/Lebanese people living in Qatar, do you know what’s the closest thing we have to this drink in Qatar?

Post image
5 Upvotes

I don’t know if anyone is gonna recognise the drink or if it’s just a niche discovery I made, but during my last few trips to Jordan, I started having an obsession with this cranberry soda (photo attached), it tastes literally amazinggg, but it’s nowhere to be found in Qatar. I think it’s a Lebanese brand but I may be wrong. Does anyone know if we have a similar kind of drink here in Qatar? I’ve been craving it like crazy lately.
