There is this fancy dress party with a title where you must wear something atleast. So this girl wears black gloves & socks only & enters with her hands raised with title saying "five of spades".

seriously u dont need to cover your head or anything last i heard that was by choice for muslim women unless they were married or something i dont know..but just remember ur skirts should be just 3 or 4 inches above the knees and dont show too much cleavage :D unless of course its a private party coz then anything goes...*uff*

Dress up decently...if u want i can go shopping with u for decent clothes too lol

You don't have to cover your hair however people ARE expected to respect local norms and customs pertaining to dress. If you follow Expat Sueno's post you should be fine.

that you cover your head when near the Pigeon Mosque. It is a good chance you will be "spotted" if you don't.

you dont have to cover your head here in Doha. just dress modestly so these QL guys will not stalk you ;)

Just cover your shoulders and your knees - no sleeveless or see-through tops, no shorts, no super-tight clothes. That said, you'll see them here and there, but I feel it's best to respect the local customs.

There is no Dress code in Qatar.

There is Dress code in Saudi Arabia i.e women have to wear abhaya (a black cloth with or without design) on top of what they wear. I don't know abt head cover in Saudi but have seen ppl wearing just abhaya and not covering head. Whether ur local or non local or whether u r a muslim or non- muslim, u have to follow the dress code.

U dont have to be scared of Qatar or Saudi Arabia , its a normal country like any other country or even better in terms of social security.
