The recently built Metro is modern and efficient. It works 7 days a week, including holidays, and is perfectly accessible to everyone. There are runs every 5 minutes.
With the three metro lines you can reach the main points of interest in the city, including the stadium and the airport. Undoubtedly an excellent way to get around Doha.
To find your way around the city, we recommend using a navigation app (iOS Maps, Google Maps, TomTom …) on your device. Many hotels, and many points of interest do not use street names and house numbers.
TAXI AND LIMOUSINE
Taxis are quick and comfortable solutions for getting around Doha. They are not particularly expensive either. The Karwa, that is the green taxis managed by the public transport company Mowasalat, are modern and comfortable means. Well highlighted, they have a meter on display.
The initial price for the call is AED 4 (approximately € 1) plus the price for each kilometer of the ride. During the day the cost is 1.20AED (0.29€), while after 21:00, the fare will be 1.80AED (0.43€) for each kilometer.
The minimum fare is AED 10.
Usually you pay in cash with local currency.

It is generally not easy to find available taxis as the preferred means of getting around the city. You can contact your facility. They are stationed in the main points of interest to shopping centers, stadiums and airports.
The limousines are offered by private companies, have no taximeter and offer travel to fixed coists, almost double the Karwa. Make sure in advance of the fare applied for your trip.
