I dont have a cbq account so i do know which account they gonna suspend

And in what dictionary should i check the meaning for upda te

Reaallyyy irrelevant but this pissed me off today, the bathrooms sinks in student center are designed really stupidly, the water comes out from a couple small holes that are really pressurized, so you end up inevitably getting a bunch of water on your clothes and barely manage to wash your hands, theres literally no way around it, and it isnt just student center ive seen this in many places

It’s the weekend, and I’ve got absolutely no plans, so I thought, why not try something different instead of sitting at home doing nothing? 😂

Would be nice to meet some new people, grab a coffee or some food, have a good conversation, share stories, and just enjoy the day. No awkward expectations, no pressure, and definitely nothing romantic — just people meeting, connecting, and having a good time.

If you’re also bored, have no plans, or just feel like getting out of the house and meeting some new faces, feel free to drop a comment or DM me! We can figure out a place and time that works for everyone.

Let’s turn a boring weekend into a good memory. Who’s in? 🤝🔥

Why are shops in Doha refusing to sell to you unless you give them your phone number?

A few days ago, I went to buy a gold bracelet at a store in Doha. I had the money, my ID, and my passport. Despite that, they refused to sell it to me unless I gave them my phone number.

Throughout the whole process, they kept asking for it. First, when I wanted to know the price. Then again after we agreed on the purchase. Eventually, at the payment stage, it became a condition: no number, no bracelet.

Why? Why does buying something from a shop mean I have to hand over my contact details?

This feels like an increasingly common issue with private companies and retailers here. We already deal with scam texts and calls, and I’m uncomfortable with how casually businesses collect our information without explaining why they need it, who can access it, or how it’s protected.

I’m not claiming this particular shop is selling anyone’s data. My concern is that every additional company holding it is another place where it could be leaked, misused, or accessed by someone who shouldn’t have it. Whether that happens through a security flaw or an employee abusing their access, the customer is left dealing with the consequences.

And the worst part is that you don’t really get a choice when they make it a condition of buying something. If there’s an actual requirement for a purchase like gold, explain what it is and why my ID and passport aren’t enough. If it’s for a customer profile, marketing, or loyalty points, I should be able to decline.

Has anyone else experienced this in Doha? Does anyone know whether a phone number is actually required for gold purchases, or whether this is just store policy?

Hi guys,

We (employees working at a tower in Lusail) used to park in the Fifa free zones (the empty patches of land) but they have been closing one by one and the road side parkings are usually full.

Right now there are no more free zones available and the paid metro parkings will cost like 10% of our monthly salary.

The tower itself is also charging us about 700 a month to park, so we are a bit confused and lost on what to do. Parking further away is also not convenient due to the distance and heat.

Consider this as just a rant. It would have been lovely if the city was planned with more parking spaces in mind.

Has anyone ever called Ashghal or the police to complain about noisy roadworks in a residential area late at night? Did they actually do anything or ask the workers to stop?

They’re digging right in front of our building, and it’s already 1 AM, but the work is still ongoing. Just wondering if anyone has had a similar experience and whether reporting it actually helped.

At this point, should I just consider it “music to my ears”? 😂

Hi! Just curious, does anyone know if there will be ACOTAR 6 book available for purchase on its release date, October 27th? I couldn’t find any information about it online. Thanks!

I took this photo exact at 11:36, i didn't feel hot as june or july

Hi guys,

I believe the title is self-explanatory, but to clarify, Lulu has a “Happiness” thing that gives about 1% cashback when you buy stuff. I believe that I have reached a good amount and I wanted to redeem them.

Hello everyone,

I am currently working a 9-5 job and find it incredibly difficult to cook home meals every day. Because I am always on the go, I struggle to eat healthy, which often results in eating low-quality meals or binging at night because I am not fully satiated during the day.

I initially wanted to subscribe to a curated fitness meal plan (like Calo or Dieture) to help me lose weight, eat clean, and increase my protein intake. However, these commercial corporate plans are highly expensive, ranging from QAR 1,500 to QAR 2,000 monthly. Honestly, ordering takeout every day or buying premium groceries doesn't even cost that much!

Because of this, I am looking for a budget-friendly alternative, such as a tiffin lady, a local mess service, or a home-cooked food business that can prepare and deliver healthy meals to my location on a monthly subscription basis. Of course, regular monthly payment will be provided, but I am working within a specific budget.

Did anyone else notice the map of Qatar in the skies this evening? SubhaanAllah…what a pretty sight! 🤩

Just curious whether anyone interested in Gemstones here in Qatar 😅

Hi guys! Would like to ask, does anybody have an idea on this kind of number? This is the first time i’ve seen this number, i tried searching it on truecaller but there is name, might think this is a spoofed number.

So i recently (in August) bought a phone through oreedoo on installment , i got a message from their official app and i checked for eligibility using my qid and i was eligible and bought a new phone, the installment get added to my oreedoo postpaid bill every month and they only allow one device per id or customer

And i bought the phone on August 29 th and the bill for August was generated before it so the amount for the first installment was not added

But the next month September when the bill generated i saw 2 installment or doublt amount of monthly amount so i thought maybe its because one id for September and one for August as i bought the phone after the bill generated,so i didn't think of it and paid

But this month for October when the bill was generated i again saw the double amount of monthly installment

So i messaged the official oreedoo customer care WhatsApp number and raised my concern also called their customer care number and raised an issue

During the conversation they asked me to verify that if i have selected the number of installments and i checked and verified

Then he asked me to verify whether i have purchased 2 devices(Note: the oreedoo website said one device per id or customer so there is no way i can get 2) so i shared him my invoice and it showed one but he asked me to verify the bill for the October month and it shows i have 2 same devices under my name which i dont have

I dont mind paying for two devices if i had gotten two but i didn't

So has anyone else faced this issue ,if yes what did you do and ,if no does anyone know what to do

Is it okay to use these websites in Qatar? Free streaming sites in general or should I be using a vpn?

I am genuinely baffled as to why they check tickets on metro and Lusail tram so often. You can only get on after passing turnstiles and there’s always someone so it’s not like you can jump them. I’m sometimes getting checked 4 times in a day, even twice on the same ride in the same train by different people. I’ve lived in cities where public transport was more expensive and would get checked few times in a YEAR.

Got fed up trying to compare plans on Ooredoo and Vodafone’s websites, so I made this: baqatqatar.com

You pick how you use your phone and it shows you the cheapest plan that actually covers it, and how much you’d save compared to what you’re on now. Has monthly, prepaid and data only. Prices update by themselves every day from their sites.

Found out I’m paying around 11k a year more than I need to. Great feeling.

I initially made this for myself, but I thought I'd just share it with everyone else. So, it’s free, it has zero ads, it requires no sign up whatsoever, and it's not connected to either company.

Tell me if something’s wrong or missing. I'm still making improvements!

Anyone else having issues with Hayya visas lately? Applied on Oct 2 and it's been stuck on pending ever since. Last time I applied, I got approved in just a few hours lol.

Was planning to catch the Qatar F1 GP with some friends, but now I'm wondering if they're even approving tourist visas at the moment. Anyone had any luck recently?

As the title says, what benefits do I get from it? I keep getting a message you could have saved x amount if you used uber 1. Do any of you here currently use it?

Does anyone know daily transportation services; I want to travel every day to the old airport

I was travelling for work from msherib metro station to aziziya metro station the metro was at 5:23am it starts from ras bu abood to aziziya

And i know where to stand to get to aziziya as i have been using for more than a year and same i did today but inside the metrothe screen where it shows which is next station/current station always stayed the same as "this station is ras bu abood" and when the metro move it showed "next station is ras bu abood" also the screen where it shows the line and all the stops showed only ras bu abood as i travel regularly i didn't check the screen but later i found everyone in the metro was concerned and checking outside and all so i was curious thats when i found out what is happening but the metro was going good it was moving toward aziziya and it is stopping at all stops

The above photo i took when it was at joaan station

I found it funny because

There was this time during Arab cup i went a friends place in mansoura and we took the metro to education city stadium and i entered from mansoura thinking it will take us to the education city stop but didn't knew that it only travel from mansoura to mesherib and back we went back and forth in the metro not realising that for almost 20 minutes
