Just dress according to the states rule, that way you are showing your respect and that way youl also received respect

Thanks all, I am new to this site and found it amazing...people answered many questions I had pretty quickly.. :-))

Qatar is a nice place 2 live. I recently relocated here..... For men dresscode depends upon the level n organization u r working but like other places formal suiting is preferred.... For women wear some thing descent and elegant.... Gud luck

Well Qatar is a nice place , with locals who are friendly, helpfull and respect you as much. I think we need to wear a dress that is respectfull and does not cause embrasment to you or others . A decent dress in any form is acceptable and formal wear can be like in any country. I am sure you will love the life is this small and secure country. God bless

Be cool, and wear whatever u like and think that is decent ok… Qatar is a nice place to live/work. Specially the local Qataris are Good/Decent ppl. Don’t think too much !! BE COOL !!!

Don't you just hate TLA's !

PDA- PUBLIC DISPLAY OF AFFECTION

what do u mean by this...?

PDA's aren't allowed here and you can get yourself into trouble with the police.And do not under any circumstances,talk to any strange man offering you a lift if you are alone at night.

Thanks all for you reply, it's very helpful :-))

I agree with MR M,its not much to worry of your dress..its not an issue over here ,just be modest,even walking short (knee length)for ladies same with male is acceptable,but avoid showing to much affection with your husband while in public to avoid getting the attention of others.

just for woman you can wear short sleeves and not above the knee length skirt or pants but the most important thing is your blouse should not reveal your .... when trying to pick up your grocery(as i've seen myself how the male cashier and other customers where staring at the woman with every procduct she tried to get from her trolly to the cashier)or if you have kids you have to follow or kneel for them ,so just something that will focus on your beauty in your face and anywhere else in the body,and good luck

Yes it's alright for men to wear short sleeve shirts.Like you said the more conservative,the better and that rule applies to men as well.As this is a conservative muslim country,total respect for local customs and traditions need to be observed.Women aren't advised to wear sleeve less shirts or tops as well as shorts.Business dress code is the same as anywhere else.For men formal suiting and for women nothing specific bit it has be decent so as not to offend anyone and more importantaly,to avoid any sort of unwanted attention.
