Planning your trip to Doha
Getting around
The Doha Metro, opened in May 2019, has three lines (Red, Gold and Green), and Msheireb is the transfer station for every line. Like the Dubai Metro it has premium cars with better seating. You pay by tapping your card when you enter and exit.
Staying safe
Doha is a very safe city as far as crime goes, but use the usual precautions. The emergency number for police is 999. Some shopping malls and public spaces enforce a "families-only" entry policy on weekends and public holidays.
