By Harbi1

Hi all,

I am going to visit Qatar this Wed for a business trip. TBH this is my first time I travel to the middle east. Although I am 100% pure saudi, but i did not have the chance to interact with arabic cultures apart from mine. I do not know what is the life style is like there, how is the ppl living and so!! I would appreciate if anyone in the forum has some free time in Wed or Thu to meet for a coffee. If you are interested, drop me a message..and i will get back to you asap.

Harbi.. Welcome.

I am a little surprised at your comments since Saudi and Qatari cultures are very similar. Many Qataris have family in Saudi and travel back and forth frequently.

The main difference you will notice is that Qatar is very open (not as much as Dubai) and men/women are able to interact much more than in Saudi.

Hope you enjoy your trip!

Well yeah, I agree with CL the( Local culture ) is almost the same however Doha is more of a cosmopolitan city than in any city in Saudi Arabia in the sense that there are more diversified international expats in Qatar than in Saudi and of course the society is more laid back and relaxed than in neighboring Saudi.
