I plan on staying in the YHA hostel in Doha, which is on Al-Lakta Makka Street.
How much costs a taxi to the city center? Can't afford the 3-5 star hotels, so 100 QAR in a hostel will do it for me....if the cab to the city center does not ruin me :D
try souq waqif........gold souq.....filipino souq.......just near to al-ghanim bus station....
to city centre doha....near corniche.......bus no 76
to villagio shopping mall....bus no 34 or 43.....
beach.....in al-wakra....bus no 109....but u have to walk a bit.....
to sea line beach u will have to take a cab.....around qr80 from doha.....or if u want a cheap alternative...take a bus to messaid town (pronounce um-said town)...from there take a cab....more cheaper....
bars.....in ramada hotel..... bus no 49....
whats else.....? haaa.... try to not travel on friday 12:00 - 15:00 hrs .... no bus services at that time (for friday prayer)
hope thats help u man....

when i read hostel and Al Lakta Makka street, for a second i thought they were not in Qatar. I've never heard about hostels and that street in this country. But anyways, the taxis r expensive here. Althou u can use the buses.
hey man if u think that karwa's taxi not expensive to u so just go in it and don't ask this question. if u wanna save stay at city center; this way u don't have to use taxi except when u wanna leave qatar. just Kidding But in my opinion Karwa is expensive. cheers
Well...I realized that :) But I rather spend my money for souvenirs or gifts for my family than for a hotel. Seems like a waste of money to me, to life in an expensive hotel. All I need is a bed, i don't need much.
No, did not book the hostel yet...still 4 weeks to go. I'm just in Qatar because I have a stop-over there...have to work in Sri Lanka for a week, and have never been to the arabic region. So I thought I might as well spend some days in Doha...

at City Center. If you want budget and a more authentic, unique shopping experience you must go to the souqs. Souq Waqif is a must.

Problem is that the company pays the flight, it's booked already for Doha.
But I could rent a car, sounds like a possibility...but I read that driving in Doha is not always easy :D
Now for the beach you will have to get out of town - you could take a bus but will take ages
Desert - same you need your own transport
If you want desert and beach and sightseeing have you thought of going to Jordan?
good value for money and great on all the things you fancy doing and geared up for the back packer.
rent a car and buy a map.

No, haven't booked yet...will call them this afternoon.
What I would like to do (5 days time)
- Going to the desert (never seen before)
- Spend a day or 2 or 3 at the beach
- Some shopping
- Sightseeing (if there is somethin to see...)
Are there other things I really should do while in Doha?
We could help you more if we knew what you want to see/do in Doha....
then tell you how to do in the cheapest way.
Have you booked the hostel?
Make sure you do because actually it is often aimed a groups of young visitors - school parties etc
check they arent' booked
If it helps as a comparison, taxis here are cheap compared with the UK.
Do't get me wrong...it's not that I blindly chose Doha and had no idea about the price level - I knew it was more expensive than other places.
But I'm a backpacker at heart, and I love to live simple...so I try to combine Doha and my mindset :)
Taxi seems not expensive to me...
edit: Array, PM is sent :D

Be active on QL...you will find some friends here, who will be happy to show you around Doha..... and you can save on Taxi..lol
hostels or hotels.... you have no choice but to spend more on lodging and transport in here...
never tried Karwas, karwa taxis may charge you between QAR 17 - 27 .. Karwa buses will take you there for 2, 3 riyals

LOL - exactly....
ducks what is the purpose of coming to Qatar ? its not for the budget traveller.
Have you booked the hostel?
I was just asking :) I did not write that it WILL, I just put an IF ;)
If cabs are expensive, I rather take a hotel closer to the city center and save money with less less taxis...you see? That's what I wanted to say...
If you can't afford a taxi to the City Center how will you afford anything they sell?
