Beat the heat

Dress respectfully
Wear clothing that covers shoulders and knees when visiting cultural sites and souqs out of respect and to meet local norms.
Carry small cash
Bring some Qatari riyals for small purchases and tips—Souq Waqif vendors may not take cards for low‑value items.
Camera etiquette
Ask before photographing people, especially in traditional market stalls and around falcon handlers; some cultural sites restrict flash photography.
Sun hat and sunglasses
Protects against strong sun during Corniche and outdoor stops.
