One of my friend was coming to Qatar for the first time on a work visa. He bought 2 bottles of liqour from Bahrain duty free shop. But when he reached Doha airport it was taken away by the customs people. Is it illegal to bring it from duty free???
And also I want to know, whether there will be some problem for him to get his RP?
Pls. your views..........

There will not be any problem for your RP, you are bringing it becasue of your non-awareness and they know it, only they will take and distroy it (HOW SAD)

Bringing liquor into Qatar is illegal.

The only way to get liquor in Qatar is with the QDC license/permit.

Problems to get the RP?? maybe not...let's see and wait.

Yes this is Qatar one of the most conservative Gulf countries. You can only get alcohol for private consumption from the QDC. I am sure that they would not have made a note of your friend's name...hopefully not.
