Being a woman in Qatar

Posted in Qatar forum

A lot of talk is going around these forums about being a women in a Muslim state, but before I move to the Gulf, I want to be really sure about hoe I'll be treated before I make any big decisions.

Compared to the other countries in the Gulf, how does Qatar rank for treating its women?

I want some real facts - and I want the opinions of Qatari women, too.

    Dear Monika

    Yes you can wear them, but better avoid them in public places like malls etc.

    It is still considered to be quite indecent to flaunt your skin, legs, and it is correct,

    as Cookie has said, it is a wonderful place, quite safe than west, or East.

    don't worry much about the drss code, come here, you would know what to wear and what not to!! you can even find bikinis in private beaches!!

    yes you can .
    ^_^

    (again try to avoid the short shorts and mini skirts at malls or crowded area .
    Functions and occasions are generally okay .
    Its a Muslim country and people might just take offence to it , but its rarely the case) .

    My advice!
    come down here .
    Dress code should not be some thing to worry about .
    You worry a lot .

    this is the calmest and safest country i have ever been in .. ( it still does not mean angels live here , you get you usual psychopaths in every country )

    Hope you give it a try and find it as calm and refreshing as i do .

    cheers

    if you out for an occasion with a group of friends let say hotels or parties i guess you can get a way with wearing what ever you fancy .

    just keep the skin showing to a minimum and gain respect to the maximum .

    Hi , thank you for your great answer. what kind of clothes I can wear in Qatar ? What is the dresscode for women from europe ?

  • posted by  in Qatar forum 

    I hope you already got a pretty vivid picture of what its going to be like for a women out here .
    In my opinion Qatar is one of the few countries that respects women for the respect that they deserve .
    but on the other hand !!!
    you got your average teenagers / crack heads / rapists . ( I am not saying there is one hiding in a bush on ever corner .
    i would so on say this Country is better then Dubai or ever my own native land when it comes to men and women alike.

    a few tips .

    1.Dress appropriate if you want to live one with the people

    ( you get every sort of people with every sorta fashion sense , but the more skin you show the more of a bulls eye men see on you ) ( you got private beaches and groups to full fill all your exhibitionist thirst , again keep it private and not for the public )

    2. Respect all Religions

    . ( you are coming to a Muslim country . Better to get an Idea about Islam and the teachings ) ( but again a very few Muslims here actually follow the teachings of Islam ).

    3 . Safety first .

    .( 95% chances nothings gonna happen but still don't be ignorant , don't go out alone at nights in dark places. This is still a country in the world we live in not Haven )

    4 . Do not Play the LOVE game or the Oh i dropped my Pen let me just bend over and pick it up GAME .

    ( chances are the guys has a wife or a sheep he likes at home and the next thing you know you are as famous as Paris Hilton ) ( and the punishment for that sorta thing in this country is HARSH )

    all in all
    its a beautiful ./ boring ./ peace full ./ loving country .

    be nice to people and people would give niceness in return ( is niceness even a word nummm )

    Hope you got your mind set now ..

    PEACE

    Dear Vanessa,

    women are being treated in Muslim State according to Islamic Laws, so you can read about women rights in Islam.

    Hi Venessa,

    Compared to other countries qatar has a priority on women specially the qatari women. Also any women living in qatar will be given a greater respect specially because the law is favoring the women. in other words you could say it is well secured.

    especially there are many nationalities and different education level people working and majority of men so there should be a strict rule.But it is obvious how the women will live.

    no one can harass a women in qatar not even to tease it is a matter of fact calling 999 to the police. the person who had committed will be punished.

    i believe that gives you a clarification. For more blogs try the qatar living website you will find interesting stories. it is in www.qatarliving.com
