How do I meet people in Qatar?
When we asked people living in Qatar about club and activities where newcomers can meet others, they responded:
"Expats in Qatar often join clubs and activities such as sports teams, book clubs, and language classes. These activities provide a great way to meet people and make friends. Expats can also meet people by attending events such as concerts, art exhibitions, and festivals. Additionally, many expats find it helpful to join online forums and social media groups related to their interests. This can be a great way to connect with other expats and locals in Qatar," said one person in Qatar.
"There are just too many to list. I joined one of the many Dive Clubs they offer and learned to scuba. I did 40 dives," said one expat who made the move to Doha.
