It is impossible to book or flag a taxi down. It doesn't help with this silly rule that you cannot drive without a Qatari licence after 7 days. So how are you supposed to get to work? But I think GCC Nationals are allowed on drive on their respective licences. I have a valid Dubai driving licence but cant use it because I am not a GCC National!

I ended up having to pay QR 45 for a 10 minute journey using the limo service because I couldn't book a taxi.
