Well, as i have observed qatari people's lifestyle, they want only a simple life, and free from worries or any serious problem. why? because for them life is so meaningful..Don't blame them if they have these luxuries in life..they just enjoy it..instead of doing nothing..sorry for us and good for them...
we cant blam qataries , or locals for what ever behaviours they have ... its from generations they are blessed with good money and fortune ...some qataries have very good knowledge about life and belive me some times am surprised when they advice .
some of them r really good infact the truth am in love with this people coz they dont harm or do anything wanted it just happens ...
i know may qataries who respected there parents , they take care of family whateve they do out i dont care if they r taking care of parents and family ..
I often see them roaming around the parking lots of malls. You'll find a Landcruiser passing by five times in the main entrance of malls with their loud arabic music.
landmark (alnimmi cafeteria), corniche cafeteria(night), Majlises, Sealine+Al-auded, Coffee shop,Cinema, restaurants, Nasser street, some in farms, some in beach houses, Hyde park+regent park(london in summer lol)
i am glad you decide to get married to a non arabic female , i respect you for what you mention because you said you will marry ,not unlike others you will have an affair or relation ..i like what you said i will pray for you for good partner inshallha
Just an Indian friend of mine consulted me yesterday whether he will get married or not coz his parents found a woman for him.
I smiled & asked him back "Do your parents need to decide for you? It's not that joke my friend!"
Told him that marriage must be decided by himself considering the basic requirements. I laughed @ myself realizing how i was unprepared before.(kelby!)
But good, coz he exactly asked the right person to advice him!
I am basing from my experienced RED_POPE.
I just hope i have imparted him the right advice...
What a story again! Sad to know i got married unprepared(emotionally & financially) though i finished my degree but i did'nt had stable job yet. Many things i've learned but human needs to be sharpened by the thorns of life. What a bitter disappointment sometimes but we should to carry our cross.
I did'nt surrender, till i came here, hired in a job supporting a family & parents (even i'm the poorest but my family loves to ask something from me) hahaha but i do love this in return! It's better to give that to receive Isn't it? Sometimes i do remember how love & future were so cruel to me before but i can't just imagine waking up now have food to eat & foolishly in love w/ my husband! (I'd rather consider it as a miracle!)
I forget, forgive & patient how GOD shaped me. I am too young to be serious hahaha but when i mailed letter to my father, he cried...huhuhu.
I'm happy now dear RED_POPE & of course still praying for my father to change.
No dear RED_POPE, am a married woman but after a year of marriage, left my fam for a living.
I grew up as indepndent, maybe of ideals & principles.
Many times i witnessed the cruelty of life for i witnessed how my parents quarrel & my father do his vices (but not all the time). I have to understnd that marriage is a lifetime adjustment.
I was just touched how u spend effort for your children which my father maybe just do it for half...hahaha! no becoz everytime I am reminded of my father to give him in return of his labor for me. I ca'nt answer him "It's not my fault being born in this world?" coz i grew up w/ fear from above but...there was really one time i did!
Now i'm married but things are not turning the way i was expecting.."to have a marriage different from my parents"
But I didn't left the door closed. For Christian principles still w/in me.
Still i'm my father's daughter, my husband's wife, & my daughter's mother!
As days passed by..,i have this nured thinking: " does it need to wear Qatari women costume to be respected?"
It's the same ques i have in my mind just to stop down this bad guys seeing disrespecting women!
What will i do? I am responsible of my ownself anwy,
better not to go out and spend my days safely in my accom.
Just we have to accept the fact that we are born different.
Qatar is like "Universe-different people of different nationalities & cultures." But u should not to judge anybody coz all people irregardless of cultures & traditions have its "strong & weaknesses".
My only kid came out to be a good person. Got married and has her own family.
The good comment from her was Dad: "I understand now better, than ever, your daily preaching and concerns sermons" It happen to me this September when I went home on vacation.
I knew, I did my job with good results. I told my daughter: " I'm still your Father and is my job, until I died"
We have many views, differences and a few in common, but we still talk and e-mail each other a lot.
Cool Lady, I'll shoved close to you my box of kleenex tissues.
I got another story to tell you.
My housemaid commented to me that his boyfriend offered her an engagement ring. She told me that she was in doubt and not sure of going forward with it.
I did asked her: Do you want my opinion or my congratulations? She said: My opinion.
Not that I want to be sarcastic, but no one knows, neither can't predict the future of your relationship.
Both of you need to try and put effort into the marriage and KEEP THE COMMUNICATION CHANNELS OPEN at all times.
You don't know each other, until you live with that human 24/7.
Trying out marriage is no game.
Is serious business with real emotions and feelings.
Not that I'm perfect, but If you don't give EACH OTHER a chance to commit to each other, How will you know If he really loves you and respect you?
Let me tell you a story of my grandfather and my dad.
I witness my father at age 33, got himself knock out by my grandfather for disrespectful comments and gestures.
I remember my grandfather, did ask him for the money of my school books like he promised us. He went out that night and spend it all with his friends.
My grandfather was 68 at that time. From that day on, everything was smooth sailing at that house. All he got was yes Sir or No Sir. That is why, I used to love and stay with my Grandpa.
Dad fear him with passion.

Are you a single parent? If you are, you got a challenge in your life...... Don't give up......
For What I care, Qatari or not, his writings are unique and simple. You guys need to get off your tribunal chairs. His opinions, insights and approach are unique, specially when it comes from an arab. I know, he tilts and gets in people skin, but that is called freedom of speech and lets all move on. If you don't like what is being said, then counter the argument not the person.
So Ahmad I'm waiting for your invitation to your palace.
Thanks gypsy gal, i dont have a blog i cant access those from work and by the time i'm home all the angry-sarcastic energy is gone i dont think the writing will be the same then, i am working on a personal website but it keeps getting delayed because everyone feels theyre having a bad-look day evertime i take my camera to my class, i will force them to take pics this week and then i will do a final update and post it on here so everybody can put a face with the writing...then if you dont like my face then just stick with reading my writing!
As for Aisha....i thought we had a special thing between us...and now you say you dont care? Or was that a good "i dont care" as in you dont care about my background you will still feel the same about me anyway?? :-)
As you said regardless of what you are, we enjoy reading your comments. you comments really make sense though its hilarious. Keep writing dude. BTW do you have a blog site?
Regardless of what i am, the issue is that you guys are looking at older posts and replying to them like i had written them yesterday! And thats the mistake on your behalf because if you really did look closely then you would see that the posts i made on my first days here are very different from the posts i make today simply because i was used to different types of forums where it was basically attack or be attacked and thats why i always had an aggressive/critisizing tone towards many issues, it was also because i always post while at work and what happens in the first hour of the morning influences what i end up typing that day!
I havent changed the way i think, i just changed the things i write, i got to know people on this forum better and met some of them in real life and i respect everyone here and i will only post posative things or jokes from now on because there is no point in making anyone feel bad or upset because i have some strong opinions about issues in Qatar.
I am actually in an awesome mood this past week after seeing Qatar's football team pay millions in coaching and training camps and 3/4 of the team have foreign names and they still couldnt win a match in the Gulf Cup!! Hilarious! Money well spent guys! Keep these wonderful investments coming!
Ok just had to get that out of my system, back to normal posts.
ESL has got it right on the spot. He looks more like some one from outside the GUlf and sinister one at that. There are good and hardworking qataris that i know of. It is the expats that work with them who is to be blamed. Most are not willing to share their knowledge with them and many are out there simplt to rip them off. SO dont blame them if they look at you in a suspiciuos manner. This kind of feature is there in almost all the communities and countries.
wow you people really do believe everything posted online. Quite honestly, I don't believe Ahmad is Qatari. Sure, Qataris can be critical of their own culture. But, when you see the same guy repeatedly, on several different posts, stating that he's happy all these Qataris kids are getting lost and misguided because "he keeps his job"...Well my friends I think that's when you raise an eyebrow. He didn't make that particular comment on this thread, but he has on a couple of others.
I love Canadians too!! There are sooooooo nice I swear they're different! It's a noticable fact that they are the friendliest things. I miss my Canadian friends :-(
I’ve noticed that Qatari people like Canadian people :-D It’s not only you QtriCanada.. In my family and people around me, the reputation of Canadians is very good :-)
And they wont be able to accept the fact that they have to settle for simpler jobs that pay less, and from there..their already sour attitudes will become even more sour and hateful and i seriously cant even predict what these guys will be like in a few years to come.
AHMAD44, I do respect and enjoy reading in good heart your writings and statements, but forgive me my brother for what I'm about to say to you. Sir, I don't mean no way to insult you or undermine your thoughts, neither plagiaries your writing,
In any modern or progressive society, the high school drop outs are a common issue, many reasons due merge for a person to drop out, is the responsibilities of the State to give and maintain an alternative plan and opportunity for that individual in crisis to come back and re-focus their personal education goals. For example: Without a GED or High School diploma, You basically can;t get a job in a Burger King or Mcdonald fast food restaurant and Its a common practice from any employer to request prove in a job application.
Now that we are in Muslim Country, Is not that hard to believe that someone will drop out and he will be forgotten and doomed. Honestly that kind of person is the favorite prey for the Terrorist Organization AL QAEDA candidature for foot soldiering in the middle east AND THE WORLD.
As a parent I definitely will support a son/daughter, who is 25 year old in my household leaching my pocket. When I know he/her is not doing not a darn thing for itself. In a different way.
If he is in school full time or unemployed/uderage legally or holding a degree, Yes they get my support.
But a simple Vagabond I will put my foot in his A@##4 very tactifull and carefully that he will not realize I'm deep in his life and mind, until they understand earning a personal education, holding a job and be a person with integrity and respect towards yourself and others.
As a parent I will give my adult children an opportunity to succeed, not mattering the cost and the amount of white hairs in my head. Is my blood and my responsibility.
I don't believe in dooming a immature soul for being distracted or misguided in other crap.
If they cant take my pressure, what makes you think they will survived in society.
To answer your question,,, for me because I'm from Alshamal ,, I hang there most of my time and don’t like to go to Doha coz of the traffic there ,,, In Alshalmal I'll be in the Majles , in my family Farm, or beach ,,, When going to Doha its either to see a friend there and hang with him or to do something and then go back home ……..Thats it ,,,,,
65% of the population here in doha are 22 years and below, which is the highest in the world and middle east, dont judge the country you are living in with the youngesters you are seeing them in malls and etc... see how the country is developing and shooting fast up like a rocket, this is what Qatrai men are doing
>>>> They are such wonderful people, I would encourage you to make some Qatari friends.
I agree. I haven't met a lot of Qataris, but the ones that I have ... well, they make even us friendly Canadians look bad!! Very very nice people!! Adopt a Qatari today! ;-)
There are many good Qataris. The good ones are NOT few. Ahmad, check qataries.net شبكة الطلبة القطريينand have a look on the forum.. Join them I’m a member there too..Open minded educated :-D
Shopping malls usually have the same gangs again and again..same people same time (mostly weekends). You can’t say these are the majority.
Well ofcourse the intent was humor when i post numbers like that, and i do beleive you whenb you say the people you met are driven because the truth is only a small number of qatari's are confident enough to socialize with foreigners (both western and even arab foreigners) and those small number who do socialize happen to be the small number who are more diverse and educated and driven and productive and they are the ones who are trying very hard to change the rest.
However the majority who you dont meet or talk to, the ones who give everyone the 'behind prison bars' stares when coming down the city center escalatorstairs are the ones who are giving everyone a bad name due to their lack of motivation and their closed-box mentality towards everybody and everything. They are the ones who beleive everything they hear without questioning sources, they are the ones who follow trends blindly, they beleive in pretending like they are superior just because they are from here so they should treat everyone else like they are inferior. I am sad to say that even in religeon many of them have a subconcious beleif that if your not dressed in qatari clothes then you are immedietly second-class muslim!! They think they can go through life without ever having to work hard or put any effort and just be ignorant towards everything.
And i feel sorry for them because this last year and the few more to come have been a turning point in Qatar in every aspect in this country, and it happened way too fast people are still unable to comprahend it, but basically its not gonna be easy anymore and things wont be handed out to them like they were in the 80's and 90's, its gonna be a struggle that many of these young guys who are dropping out of highschool wont be able to handle. And they wont be able to accept the fact that they have to settle for simpler jobs that pay less, and from there..their already sour attitudes will become even more sour and hateful and i seriously cant even predict what these guys will be like in a few years to come.
Why do you think this? Okay so you are a Qatari guy and that gives you some insight. The Qatari guys I know are pretty driven people, well educated and hard workers. But then again, I only know a few. Have I been lucky or are you exaggerating?
We are here there and everywhere :) , it is true that most of us has everything but we are not happy, because we from the other side the tradetion stop us from enjoying all this stuff, we men would love to hang out with friends and go out sit and chat, but the traditions wont allow us, i am talking from females side, so we like to enjoy it the surroundings the friends but from male side and it will never be complete because guys should always have thier females to enjoy thier time with.
thats why i have decided to get married to a non arabic female, where i can go out with her enjoy my quality time
Wow, I don't know what Qatari family you visited, but I can't say they all have farms...
Goodness, I can't even say I know one Qatari who owns a horse. You are right about the pools and incredible homes.
Where do the Qataris hangout...I think everywhere. The park across from the corniche and LENOTRE are hot spots for Qataris in the evening. It's mostly just men hanging out outside the restaurant.
They are such wonderful people, I would encourage you to make some Qatari friends.
Calm down Bajesus I was talking about all the women in Qatar not just the Qatari ones. The fact of the matter is that most women in Qatar are far out of the expat men in Qatar's leagues.
Im not surprised. With your attitude and ignorant remarks why should they give YOU the time of day? especially after considering the fact that your new here in Qatar but your very quick to pass judgments. If you make an effort ppl WILL open up to you. But it seems from the looks of ur posts that is not your intention here. And who's "us" exactly? If you've been personally offended by Qatari's don't twist it to imply that you speak on other ppl's behalf.
hang out in majlis(es). These are communal gatherings in a large room where they meet in the evenings. Majlis literally means sitting area. It's a Gulf tradition. In Kuwait it's called a diwaniyyah. Everyone has a majlis, just about, from the Emir down.
in front of grocery shop, as they do not align from their car, just horn and get the shop boy to come to their landcruiser and get them what they want.
they are in houses......ramadan....my friend.
they are also in office, working like u and me, for half a day.
they r also behind you flashing the high beam, tailgating your little Honda city.....
Qatar's winter months are brimming with unmissable experiences, from the AFC Asian Cup 2023 to the World Aquatics Championships Doha 2024 and a variety of outdoor adventures and cultural delights.
Fasten your seatbelts and get ready for a sweet escape into the world of budget-friendly Mango Sticky Rice that's sure to satisfy both your cravings and your budget!
Celebrate World Vegan Day with our list of vegan food outlets offering an array of delectable options, spanning from colorful salads to savory shawarma and indulgent desserts.
Mostly in the majlis
They hang out at coffee shops in Lagoona Mall.
Halas.
Well, as i have observed qatari people's lifestyle, they want only a simple life, and free from worries or any serious problem. why? because for them life is so meaningful..Don't blame them if they have these luxuries in life..they just enjoy it..instead of doing nothing..sorry for us and good for them...
men usualluy in Majlis and chatting or go to the desert or the sea or coffeshops
women usually go to thier family house and talking
taking care of parents is a jihad and its part of islamic rules..
--------------------------------------
Thanks Qatar!!
we cant blam qataries , or locals for what ever behaviours they have ... its from generations they are blessed with good money and fortune ...some qataries have very good knowledge about life and belive me some times am surprised when they advice .
some of them r really good infact the truth am in love with this people coz they dont harm or do anything wanted it just happens ...
i know may qataries who respected there parents , they take care of family whateve they do out i dont care if they r taking care of parents and family ..
for me i respect them and will always do..
War looking for peace,
is like fornication looking for virginity.
I often see them roaming around the parking lots of malls. You'll find a Landcruiser passing by five times in the main entrance of malls with their loud arabic music.

Hi all
65% of the population here in doha are 22 years and below, which is the highest in the world and middle east, dont judge the country you are living in with the youngesters you are seeing them in malls and etc... see how the country is developing and shooting fast up like a rocket, this is what Qatrai men are doing
best luck for all
>>>> They are such wonderful people, I would encourage you to make some Qatari friends.
I agree. I haven't met a lot of Qataris, but the ones that I have ... well, they make even us friendly Canadians look bad!! Very very nice people!! Adopt a Qatari today! ;-)
There are many good Qataris. The good ones are NOT few. Ahmad, check qataries.net شبكة الطلبة القطريينand have a look on the forum.. Join them I’m a member there too..Open minded educated :-D
Shopping malls usually have the same gangs again and again..same people same time (mostly weekends). You can’t say these are the majority.
Too harsh?..yes and no!
Well ofcourse the intent was humor when i post numbers like that, and i do beleive you whenb you say the people you met are driven because the truth is only a small number of qatari's are confident enough to socialize with foreigners (both western and even arab foreigners) and those small number who do socialize happen to be the small number who are more diverse and educated and driven and productive and they are the ones who are trying very hard to change the rest.
However the majority who you dont meet or talk to, the ones who give everyone the 'behind prison bars' stares when coming down the city center escalatorstairs are the ones who are giving everyone a bad name due to their lack of motivation and their closed-box mentality towards everybody and everything. They are the ones who beleive everything they hear without questioning sources, they are the ones who follow trends blindly, they beleive in pretending like they are superior just because they are from here so they should treat everyone else like they are inferior. I am sad to say that even in religeon many of them have a subconcious beleif that if your not dressed in qatari clothes then you are immedietly second-class muslim!! They think they can go through life without ever having to work hard or put any effort and just be ignorant towards everything.
And i feel sorry for them because this last year and the few more to come have been a turning point in Qatar in every aspect in this country, and it happened way too fast people are still unable to comprahend it, but basically its not gonna be easy anymore and things wont be handed out to them like they were in the 80's and 90's, its gonna be a struggle that many of these young guys who are dropping out of highschool wont be able to handle. And they wont be able to accept the fact that they have to settle for simpler jobs that pay less, and from there..their already sour attitudes will become even more sour and hateful and i seriously cant even predict what these guys will be like in a few years to come.
Why do you think this? Okay so you are a Qatari guy and that gives you some insight. The Qatari guys I know are pretty driven people, well educated and hard workers. But then again, I only know a few. Have I been lucky or are you exaggerating?
Qatari guys spend their lifetime doing the following:
80% of average lifespan in a landcruiser or nissan patrol
19.99% of average lifespan sitting somewhere where you can stare at people walking by and wish you had a real life.
0.01% of average lifespan doing something productive or useful
We are here there and everywhere :) , it is true that most of us has everything but we are not happy, because we from the other side the tradetion stop us from enjoying all this stuff, we men would love to hang out with friends and go out sit and chat, but the traditions wont allow us, i am talking from females side, so we like to enjoy it the surroundings the friends but from male side and it will never be complete because guys should always have thier females to enjoy thier time with.
thats why i have decided to get married to a non arabic female, where i can go out with her enjoy my quality time
Wow, I don't know what Qatari family you visited, but I can't say they all have farms...
Goodness, I can't even say I know one Qatari who owns a horse. You are right about the pools and incredible homes.
Where do the Qataris hangout...I think everywhere. The park across from the corniche and LENOTRE are hot spots for Qataris in the evening. It's mostly just men hanging out outside the restaurant.
They are such wonderful people, I would encourage you to make some Qatari friends.
Any specific places where Qataris hangout?
1. Majlis
2. Cafes
3. ??
Coops?
this is the first time i've heard the term 'farms' being used in the same sentence as 'Qataris'..ahahahah
sorry..can't help it..guess they're called compounds or something like that..
When i rebirth, I wanna be a Qatari..
Rich Qataris usually hang out in their farm.
Some of them have amazing secondary house, with loads of trees, horses, swimming pools, etc. Really a life anyone would dream of.
Calm down Bajesus I was talking about all the women in Qatar not just the Qatari ones. The fact of the matter is that most women in Qatar are far out of the expat men in Qatar's leagues.
Im not surprised. With your attitude and ignorant remarks why should they give YOU the time of day? especially after considering the fact that your new here in Qatar but your very quick to pass judgments. If you make an effort ppl WILL open up to you. But it seems from the looks of ur posts that is not your intention here. And who's "us" exactly? If you've been personally offended by Qatari's don't twist it to imply that you speak on other ppl's behalf.
You mean women in general or just Qatari women?
There's lots of women in Qatar. Most of them just won't give you the time of day.
I feel some frustration in you.......WHERE ARE THE WOMEN? SHOW ME THE WOMEN!!!!
HEHEHEHEH
Thank you... learning something everyday. You should be a LIVERPOOL SUPPORTER not a hammer WAlK ON WAlK ON AND YOU WILL NEVER WALK ALONE!!! :)
MAY THE FORCE BE WITH YOU.
ehmm, that was a joke dude.
That's plain ignorant and not even half funny.
So where are the women?
Ah - locked up in rooms.
hang out in majlis(es). These are communal gatherings in a large room where they meet in the evenings. Majlis literally means sitting area. It's a Gulf tradition. In Kuwait it's called a diwaniyyah. Everyone has a majlis, just about, from the Emir down.
That's my question?????????
From all the bored, young single ex-pats who post here I wonder where they hang out?
u bit me to it ... :-)
hello,
they are anywhere...
starbucks cafe.....
in the landcruiser....
in front of grocery shop, as they do not align from their car, just horn and get the shop boy to come to their landcruiser and get them what they want.
they are in houses......ramadan....my friend.
they are also in office, working like u and me, for half a day.
they r also behind you flashing the high beam, tailgating your little Honda city.....
just openup your eyes.......
they are also your paymaster......
