WHEN IN DOHA
The Top Five Driving Things To Know:
1. Because of the speed of development and speed of construction, it is not uncommon to wake up the next day, and have the roads be different than they were the day before.
2. At the stoplights, a yellow light does NOT mean slow down and proceed...it means slam on the breaks, because you need to stop! A flashing green light actually means slow down and proceed.
3. There is only one driving rule; you only need to go the speed limit where there is a speed camera. Stop signs, blinkers, staying in your lane, and driving the speed limit are all optional!!
4. The fewer the numbers on a license plate tag, the more important the owner driving the vehicle is in Qatari society. (We witnessed a vehicle with three numbers on their tag tell a police officer to unblock a road for them, and they did.) We have about seven numbers on our vehicle.
5. In Doha, restaurants do not have drive thru's. Instead you pull up to the restaurant, and you honk your horn for service, until somebody comes out with a menu.
