If you ever see a delivery rider in Qatar zoom past you on his little 150cc bike while you’re sitting in your 20,000-horsepower SUV 😂, just let the guy be.

He’s not trying to race you. He’s probably trying to finish that delivery quickly so he can catch the next order.

A lot of these riders are paid based on the number of orders they complete. More orders = better earnings. Meanwhile, that little bike probably struggles to even touch 100 km/h, so trust me, he’s not challenging your Land Cruiser to a drag race.

Give them space. Let them pass safely. They’re just trying to make a living.

And riders too — no order is worth your life. Ride safe. Qatar roads aren't a racetrack for either side.

It's been about 10 days since our cat Sushi left home. For context, he's an indoor-outdoor cat, and often goes away for a few days, maximum being 4. He's got no collar, and no chip, but he's neutered.

We're in the wukair ezdan area, specifically the ezdan 45, 27, 19 area. We looked around the surrounding three compounds, hung up posters, and even had the residents help us with the search. We've come up with nothing.

The thing is, he's disappeared around the same time the whole Rex issue went viral, and although Sushi doesn't look like Rex, most people would just look at a long haired orange cat and think jackpot, so you can guess what our biggest fear is.

We really have no idea if someone might've actually picked him up. I spoke to our compound delivery boy, and he said that he spotted him in ezdan 27 about five days ago.

Honestly, this post is a last ditch attempt. Any information/help is appreciated 😭😭

I live in Matar Qadeem and regularly take Uber to Hamad International Airport. Three separate times now, I’ve been matched with drivers who asked me to cancel the trip for absolutely no valid reason.
One driver literally drove past me without even stopping or saying anything.

And today was the most ridiculous one yet. The driver called and told me he couldn’t go to the airport because he didn’t have the required license.

Then why accept the ride in the first place?
If a driver isn’t legally permitted to pick up passengers at the airport, or doesn’t want to take the trip, don’t accept the ride and then make the passenger cancel it.

Passengers shouldn’t have to waste their time, potentially pay cancellation fees, or get penalized because a driver accepted a trip they couldn’t or didn’t want to complete.

PS: Sorry, if I was not clear - they ask me to cancel it only after I get inside their car.

Where can I buy fresh edible flowers from, especially roses? Food grade or organic

I’d like some objective advice on a payment/refund issue with a videographer in Qatar.
I hired a videographer for a relatively simple video and paid 800 QAR. Before the shoot, I provided very detailed creative direction, including references, the exact style I wanted, scene-by-scene instructions, subtitles, and details of what needed to be shot/edited. I essentially gave him everything he needed to execute the video with very little ambiguity.
I hired him specifically for the shoot, but the editing was then given to someone else on his team. The first draft also took almost a week to arrive.
When I received the draft, it still wasn't what I had clearly briefed, despite all the references and instructions I had provided. I spent additional time trying to explain and correct things, and ultimately felt that the service wasn't delivered to the standard/scope I had paid for.
I have all the evidence — payment receipt, messages, original scope, references, instructions, subtitles, drafts and the final work.
I initially requested a full refund of the 800 QAR.
However, rather than continue arguing about it, I agreed to compromise and accept a 50% refund (400 QAR) so we could simply close the matter.
He agreed to the 50% refund.
The problem is that he still hasn't sent it.
I've already followed up with him multiple times asking about the refund, but I haven't received the 400 QAR or a proper resolution.
At this point, I'm not trying to renegotiate the amount. I'm not asking for the full 800 QAR anymore. We agreed on 400 QAR, and I just want the agreed refund paid so the matter can be closed.
I also have the raw footage and am keeping it, so this isn't about me refusing to return something I received.
My questions are:
If someone agrees in writing to a refund and then doesn't actually pay it, what is the appropriate next step?

Should I file a consumer complaint with MOCI in Qatar?

Does the fact that I have written evidence of him agreeing to the 400 QAR refund make the situation clearer?

Would you give him any further opportunity, or would you simply file the complaint at this point?

I don't want to keep messaging him over and over. I've already followed up multiple times.
I can provide screenshots of the payment, agreement, communications, scope and work with all identifying information removed.
Would you file the complaint at this point, or handle it differently?

Hello
Has anyone had any success or insight on raising a complaint to the Rental Dispute Committee? For context it’s about living in an apartment where they have been renovating apartments directly above and below my apartment for most of my tenancy (10 months). The noise has made the home inhabitable and I was not told of the intentions to renovate in advance and they would have known.

I understand the complaint must be in Arabic but any other insight would be welcome 🙏

Hi..
Does anyone have the WhatsApp number for the Government Veterinary Clinic in Al Rayyan?
I’m planning to take my kittens there just for their vaccinations, so any feedback on the clinic, its working hours, and the vaccination process would be greatly appreciated.
If anyone has their contact number or knows the timings, please share.
Thanks.

Hi everyone,

We are dealing with a really frustrating situation in our apartment and urgently need advice from anyone who might have gone through the same thing or knows a specialist.

During July, our AC was turned off for about a week while we were away (it was turned back on maybe 1-2 weeks after that). When we came back, we discovered mold on dry food packages in the pantry. We immediately threw everything away, deep cleaned all cabinets, and completely got rid of the visible mold.

However, right after that, we discovered mold mites (tiny white crawling bugs). We are completely stuck and haven't been able to use our kitchen at all since this started.

Here is what we have done so far:
Food & Kitchenware: Threw away all food kept outside the fridge. Washed all dishes and utensils at 70°C and moved everything clean to a completely different, uninfested room.

Cleaning: Sprayed and disinfected surfaces with alcohol multiple times. We still see them mainly on the outside of appliances (fridge, air fryer, stovetop, oven, microwave, kettle).

Humidity & AC: We run the AC continuously on AUTO at 22–23°C. We bought a dehumidifier and maintenance also brought another one in yesterday, but the humidity level is still around 60%.

The biggest problem: Maintenance has been here to spray and clean, but they don't seem to understand what mold mites actually are or how to eliminate them. They just treat it like a regular pest control issue, which isn't solving the core humidity/mold problem. One of the guys even told us 70% humidity is normal. WHAT A JOKE.

Has anyone here dealt with mold mites at The Pearl?
1. Pest Control: Can you recommend a professional company in Doha that actually understands mold mites and humidity pest control?

1. Dehumidifier: Should we push for/buy a large industrial unit? Is 60% still too high to kill them off?

2. Tower/Building Maintenance: How did you get maintenance/landlord to take this seriously?

We feel like we’ve tried everything ourselves and are at our wits' end. Any tips, contacts, or advice would be deeply appreciated!

I’m 24 and honestly feeling very stuck about what to do with my education and career.

I originally studied Information Technology, but I never completed the degree. I failed twice, and it’s now been around 2–3 years since I went back to it. At this point, I don’t think IT is the right path for me, even though I know AI and technology are growing rapidly.

I also have an unusual education situation. I never completed my O-levels, and later I ended up doing Federal Board humanities because, as a private student, those were basically the subjects available to me. The problem is that I don’t actually have much interest in humanities either.

I’m currently in Qatar, and I recently spoke to UDST. They told me I would need to wait until the next admission cycle to apply. Even if I did, though, I’m not sure I could afford the tuition, and I don’t think I qualify for the scholarship options available to me.

Another option I have is going to Islamabad and starting a bachelor’s degree there. But I really don’t want to move to Islamabad unless I’m reasonably confident that the degree I choose will actually give me a good path forward.

I’m also working on a startup/project of my own. I’ve put a lot of effort into it, but realistically, I don’t have much traction yet, and I’m not seeing investors, grants, or a clear future from it right now. So I don’t feel comfortable treating the startup as my only plan.

This leaves me confused about what to do next.

Should I:

• Go to Islamabad and start a bachelor’s degree in something like sociology or another arts/social science field?
• Try to find a way to return to IT despite my previous failures?
• Choose a different field entirely?
• Focus on building practical skills instead of pursuing a degree?
• Or take some other route I haven’t considered?

One thing I’m especially struggling with is whether switching to arts/social sciences in 2026 makes sense when AI is developing so quickly. I don’t want to spend 4 years getting a degree and then discover that I’ve made the wrong choice again.

If you were 24, had no completed bachelor’s degree, limited finances, an unconventional education background, and were basically starting over, what would you do?

I’d really appreciate honest advice from people who have been in a similar situation — especially people who changed fields, went back to university later, or built a career without following a traditional path.

Has anybody used this pay by plate service of CBQ?? Does it work at WOQOD?

Where can I buy Telescope ?

I have zero trust with all the German testing spots in Salwa. I feel most of the places do not actually know what to look for and give a generic report. Do you know any garage that might be better for this?

Hey everyone, hope you’re all doing well!

I’m in the middle of launching a small local e-commerce/retail business in Doha and I’m trying to figure out the most realistic and fair way to handle local deliveries and would like some advice.

At the moment, delivery apps like Snoonu/Talabat take a huge cut so I’m looking to hire part-time students or maybe freelance drivers with their own cars for evening runs (6 PM–8:30 PM). I’d ideally like to minimize costs since it’s a really small store while ensuring I’m paying fairly.

For those running small Instagram shops, boutiques or e-commerce stores in Qatar:

Pay structure: do you pay a flat shift rate (e.g., x QR for 1.5–2 hours) or per-drop (x QR per delivery)?

Fuel: is fuel usually included in the shift rate or paid separately?

Customer fee: how much do you charge customers for delivery in central Doha vs. outer areas (Wakra, Al Khor, etc.)?

Would love to hear what has worked best for you and your drivers so everyone gets a fair deal. Thanks!
