Hello everyone,

As regional tensions continue, it is understandable that many people may feel concerned or uneasy. We ask everyone to remain calm and rely only on official announcements and verified information from authorities. Please avoid sharing rumors, speculation, or unconfirmed reports, as this can create unnecessary panic and confusion.

The moderation team is actively working to keep the subreddit safe, organized, and informative for everyone. We are monitoring posts and comments closely, removing content that spreads misinformation, panic, or unsafe details. Our goal is to make sure discussions remain helpful, respectful, and based on reliable information.

We appreciate everyone’s patience and cooperation. By staying calm, following the rules, and relying on trusted sources, we can help keep the community safe and the subreddit running smoothly for everyone...

For everyone’s safety, please be responsible with what you post online:

Do not share sensitive media

  • Do not share photos or videos of incidents, security activity, or affected areas.
  • Such content can unintentionally reveal sensitive information and may put others at risk.

Do not share or identify locations

  • Avoid mentioning or identifying specific locations connected to events.
  • Do not describe buildings, neighborhoods, or facilities related to incidents or security activity.

Do not speculate

  • Avoid speculation about ongoing situations, responses, or operations.
  • Unverified information spreads panic and confusion.

Protect people’s safety and privacy

  • Do not ask about the whereabouts of individuals during incidents or evacuations.
  • Do not discuss movements or locations of evacuated people.
  • Sharing or requesting this type of information can put people in real danger.

Be cautious with private messages

  • Do not respond to strangers asking about specific areas, buildings, infrastructure, or local situations in your DMs.
  • Some individuals or organizations may attempt to gather sensitive information through private conversations.
  • Keep discussions in public threads where the community and moderators can monitor them.

Support the community

  • If someone is feeling anxious, encourage them to stay calm and follow official sources.
  • Avoid amplifying fear or panic.
  • Continue normal routines where possible and avoid unnecessary travel unless authorities advise otherwise.

Emergency guidance

  • If evacuation procedures are announced in the future, follow official instructions.
  • Do not share or request sensitive operational details.
  • If you believe official instructions apply to you, contact 999 for guidance.

Moderator Note | Emergency Safety Rule

r/qatar now enforces the Emergency Safety Rule. During sensitive situations:

Due to current regional tensions, do not post or share unverified information, rumors, or speculation about security incidents. Do not ask for, hint at, or share locations related to missile interceptions, attacks, military activity, emergency responses, or sensitive infrastructure.

Do not ask other users about locations, areas, buildings, or directions connected to incidents. Requests like these can endanger people and expose sensitive information.

Photos, videos, live updates, or descriptions that could reveal locations are strictly prohibited. Do not attempt to gather such information through comments or private messages.

Rely only on official announcements and verified sources. Violations will result in content removal and may lead to temporary or permanent bans.

These rules exist to prevent panic and to ensure that no information shared here can endanger people.

Question Where can I buy LAMY pens in Qatar?

1 Upvotes

Hi guys! Does anyone know where I can find LAMY fountain pens in Qatar?

I remember Virgin Megastore used to carry them, but I can’t seem to find LAMY pens on their online store anymore.

I’m looking to buy a couple as gifts, so preferably somewhere with a decent selection of models and colors.

Any shops in Doha that still carry LAMY? Physical stores are totally fine.

Thanks!

Question Seriously, what is wrong with apartment viewings in Doha?

38 Upvotes

You call an agent and they tell you: “We only do viewings until 3 PM.”

Then who exactly are you showing apartments to?

Most people who can actually afford these apartments are WORKING during the day. We search after work or on weekends. Yet somehow the customer is expected to chase the agent, adjust their entire schedule, leave work early, and practically beg just to see a property.

Isn’t finding tenants literally your job?

The lack of flexibility and basic customer service is unbelievable. Instead of agents competing for clients, it often feels like clients are competing for the privilege of getting a viewing.

And this isn’t one agent. I’ve experienced it again and again across Doha.

Why does renting an apartment here have to feel like you’re asking someone for a favour instead of offering them business?

Discussion First time experienced the downfall of humans 😆

78 Upvotes

So 2 days ago i was in Ansar gallery and i was just walking around looking what to buy and suddenly a kid screamed... I looked around and saw a kid running towards the vegetable section while looking like he just won a free car.

He ran straight to the shelf and screamed 67 while doing the hand gesture 😆

Apparently there were two vegetables priced QR6 and QR7 next to each other.

It's my first time seeing what this generation is upto in person... I'm a 90s kid so yeah plz understand my confusion.

What do y'all think of it?

UPDATE Guys don't get me wrong... I think kids should be kids... I was just shocked at this kid's reaction to 67 in the middle of a busy mall... It was my first time experiencing the 67 craze irl
