What else should we add? Thoughts?
Great, I was just thinking of this 🙂 Nice update as usual!
Thank you, DN. This is very helpful. Ramadan Kareem.
how about al meera??
No, doubt Al Meera will sell booze. 🙂
i mean there hours
Thanks, very useful information.
As you say airside the food places will be open all day, what about booze in the lounges? I do enjoy a nice glass of wine befor boarding my flight.
Some saying not at all, some saying after dark. Abu Dhabi is certainly booze dusk till dawn, Dubai 24/7…
I would hope as it sells itself as a major international airport with much transit traffic that they would cater to all their passengers.
I am pretty sure the one or two lounges that were open last year were not serving booze but I don’t know about this year as there are more lounges and restaurants where you can get a drink
The airport this year will be Dry throughout Ramadan.. ?:-(
Chillax people, you can drink on-board. The airplanes are not dry. Presuming you’re going to the airport to fly out…not to hang out at Al Mourjan..
Sadly, no…
As I thought, QR – nil, EY – overnight, EK – 24/7
http://www.ausbt.com.au/emirates-etihad-qatar-alcohol-restrictions-during-ramadan
I flew out yesterday. The bartender in Al Mourjan told me that there would be no alcohol served in the airport during Ramadan. He described the “special” fruit juice mocktails that his bar would be serving. I agree with you: not the mark of an airport that truly wants to be seen as a major international hub.
How very disappointing they are discriminating against non Muslims travellers.
Respect that your in a muslim country. That’s their beliefs respect it. Sigh, you really annoy me. Can’t live without alcohol for a month.
I not saying that should not follow their beliefs, I’m just asking them to respect my choices. Is that too much to ask?
It is actually to much to ask, Qatar can’t accomdate every whining expats whim and must balance what if believes is best … Loads will be left out like you to which we say if you don’t like it leave already … Somewhere perhaps nicer where the taps never go dry
I don’t think so, it doesn’t hurt you and why should I be denied freedom of choice? If a country banned halal meat Muslims would be the first to whine non stop but I would support their right to have their choice. It is sad for humanity where one group seeks to impose their choices on others.
Personally I’d like to see the halal butchers banned in OZ, I think it’s inhumane as would most Australians. But it will never happen as the Muslim lobby groups are very strong. Here, locals complain about alcohol not being the culture, it’s our country, we should respect, we should yield. But ask a Muslim in Brisbane to eat a steak from an animal that was humanly treated, that wasn’t transported half way around the world barely alive on a sweltering stock ship, but was stunned and bolt killed quickly and its infringing on his human rights and discrimination. Yeah yeah if I don’t like it I can go home….. Just saying….
Alcohol is forbidden in our religion, thats why it is banned in qatar, a very conservative muslim country. Is having halal meat against your religion. Can you not eat halal meat ? Thats a very different situation.
Plus, you very well know that qatar is a religious, and deeply conservative country. It is trying to accomadate expats as much as it can and i think you should appreciate that.
Perhaps you can explain why alcohol is banned to non Muslims? No Muslim is forced to drink alcohol so the fact that it is available to others is irrelevant. Is the very presence of alcohol ‘harem’. I ask from a position of ignorance.
When I moved to Qatar I innocently thought there would be choice, like there is at home. I could go into Carrefour and choose between Halal beef and non halal. I decided after a month of being here I would not generally eat halal meat and I only eat the meat available in QDC and seafood. This is not done on religious reasons but ethical reasons, I just don’t want to eat animals killed in the halal style. I personally think it’s inhumane and the meat quality is affected. But that’s my decision and effects no one else.
No one is asking you to drink alcohol. Why do you think it’s acceptable to impose your beliefs and way of life on others? What makes you think your ways are superior that everyone else must follow?
I agree it sad when expats try to impose their way of life in Qatar when they’re the guests..
You would fit very well in Australia! Many Australians are paranoid & xenophobic against foreigners coming to Australia and imposing their way of life in them, Australian culture eroding away. The covering of ladies, separation of sexes in schools, halal meat etc creeping into everyday life into the cities. There are recent protests even, against the Islamification of Australia. They were met with of course pro Islam protestors, that’s the way Australia is tho, both sides are free to demonstrate and choose how they like to live. Me I’m not bothered, I have immigrant blood too, Australia welcomed with open arms my parents after the war. Maybe If Australia is worried, it could do like Qatar has? It’s the perfect solution and is working here very successfully. No more migration to Australia from Islamic countries, just give them temporary one man only tokens they must renew every year. Christian white migrants can stay and bring their families, start businesses and live out their old days tho….. Hmmmm….
It’s not a question of imposing, no one is forcing you to do anything. It’s a matter of freedom of choice. We all share this planet and no one has more right to decide what is right or wrong than the next person.
Deleting this thread for getting off track.
Whatever shabina get a life …
Cat I agree with your comment. You want to help fix the Muslim and Arab world, stop Muslim Arabs from immigrating to your countries… Let them rot in their own countries that’s the only they’ll learn to live together and fight to better their own country instead jump on he first plane out… If you keep giving them a lifeline out then their ultimate goal in life is to win this lifeline …. If they know they have no better option but to fix their own country they’ll stay and fix their own country..
This is also good for Australia which is suffering for a shortage of skilled labor… Your govt will focus less on immigration and ppl sneaking in bananas and focus more on educating its ppl and further supporting Australia indigenous ppl who have suffered to long.. Instead of just importing talent and street sweepers like Doha does
Mimh I don’t come into your house asking to moaw your garden for a living and then complain I don’t appricate you storing beer in your fridge … Just like you don’t come into my house moaning why I don’t have beer in my fridge to serve you… You came in knowing what your getting into so stop moaning already
Geant at Hyatt Plaza and Al Meera branches: Open every day from 8am-1am; closed Friday from 11.30am-noon for prayer. Wasn’t there a missive some weeks ago saying shops would be fined if they didn’t abide by the 1hr prayer time on Fridays and that was outside Ramadan.
Does anyone know of any smoke free Iftars? We tried one last year and the kids were smoked out and did not enjoy. I’ve rung most the major hotels and none are offering any smoke free options.
The Hilton has a No-Smoking Restaurant..
You will always find smoking areas in the tents, but usually during iftaar people smoke less 😉 We are regulars at the iftaar at Four Seasons, and rarely we saw someone smoking there after iftaar. We always went to the non-smoking section and enjoyed it. I also believe La Cigale has a non-smoking restaurant for iftaar (can’t remember the name, but it is the one on the ground floor, buffet style), as people had to go to their shisha garden (at least this is how it was in the last years…).
Thanks DOHA NEWS!
Btw, the man in souq waqif with the peace sign is Legit. 😀
Could you add embassy timings ? Turkish embassy to be precise.
Turkish embassy working hours as per internet website are 9am-2pm, however I would give them a call as I heard the US embassy is closing at 1pm for example during Ramadan. Contact details of the embassy are:
T: +974 4434 2130
E: [email protected]
W: http://doha.emb.mfa.gov.tr/ContactInfo.aspx
Hey thank you for that. This info was very helpful and inshallah by Sunday I should have my visa.
Many thanks for the info!
Could you add something else…? How about bars that remain open for soft drinks – we have some lovely venues in Doha, but are all of them fully closed, or will some remain open?
If you are talking about bars in hotels, yes, they will be closed for the month. If you are talking about the juice bars in malls, I am sure they will open up in the evenings after iftaar 🙂
Hello DN, do you know the ramadhan timings for Jarir Bookstore?
What are the opening hours for fast food restaurants? Such as McDonalds, KFC, Burger King, etc.?
How about MOI Branches office hours? Is it same with the main office?
What about Ice Skating in City Centre and Villagio?
Traffic department is opened until 1pm, not 2pm on afternoon.
