Out in solo
 
I am new in Doha but want to tour the city. How much would I pay for a solo city tour?
  
  
I read there are some individuals with their own cars who are willing to tour "newcomers" for a fee.

You want to make city tour. Just go to Karwa Bus Station and choose any of the public bus take a ticket for QR 3 and enjoy. Select different bus number in other day and again....

thanks for the tip! that's practical. actually that's what I did during my stint in vietnam. what a coincidence, the bus ticket in vietnam (flat tate) is also 3,000 vietnam dong.

i tried once. i walked from my villa to the tebah petrol station; rode bus 102 to al ghanim; rode bus 76 to city center. on the way back rode bus 76 to the terminal and bus 102 to al gharaffa at 7:00pm on a friday. the bus is packed like sardines. i have to hang on for dear life as the driver maneuvers around the roundabout at insane speed. interesting?

afb! opting to travel in the bus on a friday is a bad choice.. that is the only day Dohaites get an off from work.. and opting for karwa bus is the most economical choice for them..

Well, i am a born brought up guy from Qatar, but i havent still known what is it being like in a bus ,

Yeah, picking up spots might often not create a dilemma, so i would recommend u to go through the books (Marhaba)

Thanks guys for remembering. Luckily, the situation is a little better this time. My job provides a chaffeured service to the jobsite. I can always request my driver to detour me once in a while to have a glimpse of doha. corniche is nice! however, my driver said, the best time to stroll in corniche is after summer. By the way, I work in the construction at The Pearl Qatar.
