Single Man Visiting Mall

Scotland
By Scotland

Hi,

I've been searching through the forum pages and although there is some discussions regarding 'family day' at the malls on Fridays I haven’t found a conclusive answer. I'm 27/male from UK and will be in Qatar shortly and have heard stories regarding this.

Can I visit the mall on my day off, being a Friday? There is mention this was to reduce the problem of male crowds within the mall. Is it therefore ok for a single mall who is actively shopping to do so??

Also, are there any rules for souqs???

Thanks

i thing this problem might be on The Mall (One of the shopping centers), which, has a family day but i thing its on Thursday evening. but all other malls i don't have any problem getting in even i am not a Caucasian looking or any thing like that, only go for what you want and don't make any troubles.

Anytime you can enter a mall... there is no restriction for a western or rich Expat, they only resist laborers and poor people to enter malls who may not buy anything from there, which in my opinion is disgusting and a sort of discrimination...
