I also have been blocked only once in last 10 years from entering Villagio Mall on friday . Balance times , i went with family .

On Fridays , you can go to Lulu , go to airport to see planes flying out or go to ffc only . No zoo also .

Qatar wanna HOST FIFA 2022 and make it for families only .

Yeah go to LULU and buy some "tsapati"....Family day at all MALLS here in QATAR is normal, because they have limited malls and lots of expats. And yet, they are dying to host any ASEANS GAMES or OLYMPIC GAMES maybe. If Qatar is lucky....then the GAME will be for FAMILY only!

Fridays 10AM - 8PM no entry for bachelors in the malls. I have stayed in Saudi, and ofcourse they do not have such rules coz they are closed on any given day (except after 8pm or so). They too have family days, and even in the parks only families are allowed. Next, i have been to the malls all by myself and noone ever stopped me on a friday. Irrespective of what time i went. This rule is to keep those perverts away who have nothing better to do but stare at women during their free time!

Oh I see...so frustrating, anyway how about Thursday evening? (let say 6:00pm/7:00 pm) are we (bachelors) allowed/permitted to enter this mall?

Soniya this is ridiculous rule . It is not the same in UAE or Oman or Bahrain or not even in KSA where i stayed alone for a couple of years . In Doha , last summer -when my family was out of Qatar , i was at office on friday and wanted to go to carrefour to buy something-villagio security blocked me . Ridiculous , i m a serious buyer and needed to buy things . Then their head of security asked on cam -is the guy asian or british or european , the nepali security guy replied asian sir ,immediately he said No , block him .

Stupid Rule .

ricky, it seems you are letting out your frustration..

You can't change the rules buddy..You have to go by it..You can't raise your voice..

Related to question, yes BACHELORS are not allowed on fridays in villagio..If i am right, then even city centre and landmark prohibits BACHELORS to enter..

Correct me if am wrong..
