I'm currently living in Doha and my girlfriend is coming over for 10 days and i wanted to take her down to Sealine Resort for the night so we could go to beach/jetski/quads and i could drink and not worry about driving. The question is will there be a problem booking a double room for me and her?

just need a smart plan, u want ur girl friend to see smthg inforgetable in doha why sealine hotel? some kms inside there fully equipied camps closed to the sea that belongs to some tour companies it's less cheaper than sealine beach and more interesting, before ur girl freind come arrange a booking for an overnight camping safarie, they will come pick u from doha in a 4 weel drive car and you will enjoy the drive on dunes for almost one hour, then you reach the camp there is all the facilities and soft drinks and bbq, setting around the fire, listening music, talking, playing basket on sand, shisha, swimimg, there is arabic tents where u can sleep (sleeping bags) just do it and you will like and also you will (pray for me حتدعيلي:))because of my advice to u.

One time when I went to Sealine with my hubby, we've met one Qatari guy with his libanese girlfriend. After we had dinner, he took one room, and she went to the room a few minutes after him; nobody asked her where is she going or what she's looking for. You don't have to declare that someone is with you...

marriage certificate is a MUST to any hotel/resort in Doha

I am here with my husband and we have never been asked for our marriage license or if we are even married. But I would try calling your embassy and asking them what the rules are for your case.

Here in Doha some real estate companies gives short term rental appartment (Min 1 month). Book one and extend your gf's visit and enjoy full privacy!!!!.

i think u are the same person , who asked about bringing yoiur girlfriedn by BA or QA flights ....

Even if you go distant places like Sealine, it does not mean that you are escaped from Police. I advised it is illegal in Qatar. But if you can manage it in a low profile way, you can "solve" it.

Let me narrate an incident , during the soft-openeing of Four Sesons hotel. We put her in another hotel to stay. Her boyfriend who came to Abudhabi for some work, decided to visit her and he tried to check in the room. We got a call from the Hotel at night complaining, one person is trying to check in. We tried our best to convince the hotel staff but they did not listen. At last they themselves advised us to take antoher room next to the ladys room. And they assured they dont know anyhing later !!!!!!!!! LOL

If she is flying in to visit you (I presume you're both western and non-Muslim), then the hotel people will never know if she's your wife or your girlfriend. Tell them she's your wife, book one room, and enjoy yourselves.

Most westerners don't have their marital status or spouses names listed on their passports (as is common here). You also wouldn't necessarily carry your marriage certificate around with you (again, not common for us), so kind of a "that's my story and I'm sticking to it" strategy.

Good luck!
