卡塔尔『交通』

Transportation in Qatar is not very difficult or complicated. There are very few modes of local transport in the country - buses, taxis and limousines are the most widely used ones.

Most of the modes of public transportation in Qatar are owned by a company called Mowasalat. In the month of October 2005, bus service was started in Qatar. These buses are mostly used by locals and are not really advised for tourists.

Ticket prices for buses in Qatar start from QR 2. These buses take passengers to almost all the popular tourist destinations of Qatar, including Al Ruwais, Dukhan and Umm Said.

Taxis are the most convenient and reasonable modes of local transportation in Qatar. These taxis can be found at all the prime tourist spots around the country. In a taxi you can relax and enjoy a view of popular Qatar attractions as the driver hobnobs on the streets. There are two types of taxis in Qatar - green and orange. Rates are about QR 1 per kilometer of travel.

There are a number of private limousine rental companies that offer cars on hire for local transport in Qatar. Driving around Qatar is extremely difficult, especially for novices. The traffic here is bad and drivers worse.

Do not venture out on the roads alone if you have come to Qatar for the first time. Traffic rules are almost non-existent, there are very few stoplights and people are not interested in any sort of adjustment on the roads.

Cart rental prices in Qatar are about QR 120 per day, and fuel prices are unbelievably cheaper. The country is small and hence can be easily toured in about two days using a car as the mode for local transportation in Qatar.

Getting to Qatar

Air travel is the most convenient and easily available mode of getting to Qatar. Travelers can also choose between land and sea travel for their visit to Qatar.

The Doha International Airport is the base of air travel in this country. Located in the national capital Doha, this airport hosts a huge number of flights to Qatar. Most of the popular airlines of the world operate through the Doha airport and have daily or weekly flights in and out of Qatar.

National carrier Qatar Airways is constantly expanding its customer base and is on the verge of becoming a worldwide airline network. It operates numerous flights out of Qatar, connecting it with the most popular world cities.

For getting into Qatar, you need to have a valid visa. It can be applied for the Immigration Department of the Ministry of Interior, Qatar. Details of tourist, business and resident visas are available in our Qatar Visa Information section.

Visitors from the region often opt for road travel to Qatar. Since the country is surrounded by the Arabian Gulf on three sides, there is just one way of getting in Qatar by land. This only route is through Saudi Arabia, Qatar's immediate neighbor.

Many travelers hire cars to reach Qatar from Saudi Arabia. However, night travel on this route is not recommended. You can also travel to Qatar using bus service from Saudi Arabia. These buses do not have fixed routes and are usually quite uncomfortable.

Azure waters of the Arabian Gulf are used as modes of sea travel into Qatar. Neighboring regions like Dubai and Iran operate small commercial boats in and out of Qatar on a frequent basis. These boats do not follow specific routes and are not frequently used by general tourists. The Doha Port hosts a huge number of commercial frights coming into the city from all over the world.
