+ Do people speak English in Qatar?
Arabic is the official language, but English is widely spoken in hotels, shops, and tourist services. Most signage is bilingual, so navigating as an English-speaking traveler is straightforward.

Qatar uses plug type G, the same as in the UK, with a voltage of 240 V. U.S. travelers will need a plug adapter and may require a voltage converter for non-dual-voltage electronics.

Tipping is not mandatory but appreciated. In restaurants, a 10% tip is common if a service charge is not already added. It’s also polite to tip hotel porters and taxi drivers in cash.
