There was a news report a few months ago which said that guidelines were going to be issued for what you should wear when out in public in Qatar, and that this was going to be policed. Nothing seems to come of it though.

I'd say wear what you feel comfortable in and respect the traditions of this Muslim country (so no "kylie" hot-pants or micro skirts!). As
syamsat says; men will always stare, it's the nature of the beast, but some are less subtle than others because it's a novelty to them since they come from a more reserved country.
