how come the richest country in the world is so boring, SOOOOO booring that my pc connection is slow. sooo boring that the road is not nice, sooo boring that the drivers in the road not afraid to die. ssooo boring that there is no porn site. QaTTTTARRRRRR ISSSS BBBOOORING.
I want to go back in my hometown Japan. I thought qatar is nice because it's THE RICHEST COUNTRY IN THE WORLD, but how can I go Home? please tell me let me out of this place
I live by the philosophy that life is what you make of it. Whenever I complained, as a child, that I was bored my Mum would reply "You're not bored...you're boring. Find something to do...make your own fun".
Doha is what you make of it. Are you bored or just boring?
It really depends upon the person. I don't feel bored just by reading all the comments being posted in this particular topic. These is a great boredom breaker! cheers ^^
wow...this thread started on 5th sep 2009 ended on 24 Sep 2009 onlyto be restarted in April 2011...wow...i wonder if the original poster is still around...
LOL, get a life, there are many places to go, and many things to do, not just because you're really bored means Doha is boring too !
i know its really hot here, to go to a park or something, you can go to a shopping mall, drink coffe, or go hang out with you friends in sealine, or fishing in al-khor, having dinner in some hotel or restaurant, and no its not a dead place, if so then why did you come here to work, study etc.
if you dont like the place here there are many things to do or just simply go back to where you live
You can't make friend's easily. Qataris are rude and expats are overambitious. Everyone is running a race I don't know to which destination. The most attractive thing about Qatar is money and the most repulsive thing about Qatar is her money as it attracts greedy people from all over the world.
i feel doha is not boring.but the thing is we feel bore and to avoid this boredom we need to be always engaged in some or the other work i guess.even im feeling tooo bored is there something i can do any idea help plzz
Naye dost banane ki aadat hain hume, Apni alag pehchan banane ke aadat hain hume,Chahe koi kitna bhi zakhm de, Phir bhi muskurane ke aadat hain hume
io spent about 2 months of my vacation here in doha yet nothing happed, i didnt even fine a friend here , hey every one can i have a friend here a guy possibly no wife , okey bye
for all those saying "it's not the place, it's the people"...the same thing is said to justify every boring town...like someone correctly mentioned earlier,expats are here for the tax-free income & the resultant ability to save a fair amount of money in a fairly short period of time NOT 'cos it's a fun place...another way of saying,this is a boring town...another indicator of a boring town,most people,given the opportunity & the financial means,will try & get out at every given opportunity...ring a bell?...to put it more in perspective...how many people come to Doha for the weekend from neghbouring countries?...as opposed to, how many people go to Dubai or Oman for the weekend,if this town was as much fun as the politically correct people on here claim it is,why would that statistic be the way it is?...
You havent seen or read "The Secret"...Positive mental attitude can change your reality! It is proven pray and laughing can have an influence as well....Just having bouquet of flowers in your home...I am sounding a little "Pollyannish" arent I.....
Well B,day today actually, anyway went off to find Dukhan beach and found it, took some photos (Friday) then headed back to Villagio and bought some olive oil (fresh out). sat took myself swimming then went to tanjore for a slap up indian, it does'nt get any better than this... Look perhaps i am a bit sarcastic, yes i know its a bit on the dull side, however we are all here for the same reason, that is to better our rich tapestry of life and to be in the good books with the bank. I must admit, this is my first Ramadan, and i wont be sorry when its finished, however hang in there, i think its a case of having to, Kind regards Rich
Hey guess what everyone since ive been reading Qatar Living to get ideas in Doha Qatar and i guess this Website Qatar Living, will be my past time entertainment reading all your sentiments,Wasting time when i feel alone and lonely when i get there soon. And i noticed that seeing the same persons here replying to every threads i've read. Why dont you guys set up a GRAND EYE BALL for everyone? Like parteee! Chill only but then i guess it would be better if it will be set in a house or rented place for everyone to enjoy and not too expensive and a potluck!, like there would have singing, loud sounds,drink beer if theres a billiard or pool that would add some entertainment but i think my opinion is only applicable for guys maybe??? I dont know.....Just want to share my ideas with you guys to help that boredom. Anyway i dont have any idea also if my opinion is appropriate to there culture...Though. When i get there soon, maybe my only two bestfriends would be the internet and the computer. WOW! THAT WOULD BE FUN! Im So excited! Cant wait! Yipeee!
Life is full of choices, if you have the guts to go for it. That's why I get immediately bored with anyone's complaining about how boring their life is, or how bad their town is , leave and go somewhere else. Or don't .
Restrictions due to traditions and culture never made a place boring. You always learn to adapt to the change that you chose to make, or else choose the alternative. I've read a lot of 'Im Bored' and 'Qatar is Boring' and similar threads, but that just proves that you are a boring person and no matter what happens, you will remain a boring person to yourself and for sure to others.
As many people said, if you don't like the place, then leave. I second that. I think you don't deserve the money you are earning if you will whine, moan and complain all the time.
Like the place so it likes you back, its simple.
~*Speak when you are angry and you will make the best speech you will ever regret*~
there are a lot of things to do.. as a matter of fact, i never have time for all what i'd like to do, partly due to my addiction to QL (lately working hard on getting rid of it though!) As baldrick said, get hobby or two! but again, it's up to your personality... if you never have had any hobbies, if you have never been involved in any activities such as Gym, dancing, clubs, some social groups, for me it means YOU ARE a borring person, not the surrounding environment. I never feel bored, no matter whether I am with 20-40 people around, or i am alone.. sometimes you might feel lonely and bored even in a huge crowd, it all depends on yourself, nobody else...
and even if you used to have some hobby which is impossible to practice here, no problem, this is a good time for trying something NEW!

"What lies behind us and what lies before us are small compared to what lies within us."
a person coming from a heavily populated country or a place where people are walking around all over the place, it is truly boring to see deserted streets.
and also the fact that when you take out your vehicle here from the parking, you know your destination.
But if it was any other place you would probably meet a friend and change plans and could even fly out of the place to a destination you would never had thought while leaving home.
Its like the old joke here. Two people talking in London. Offshore Doha is the second most boring place on Earth. What's the first? The second person asks... Onshore Doha!
in the first place what's your idea of fun? Nope, it's not the same as everybody's.
Does it involve some physical thing which gives you an adrenaline rush? This place has it's own unique features and that's the fun part of it- discovering that!
What about books? Try to discover its pleasures. For me nothing beats it. Besides, it keeps away alzheimers.
But you're not exactly in the dark side of the moon. Venture out and seek what is out there! Note my tag line! :)
ok, lets be honest about this recurrent obsessive issue:
I haven’t heard of anyone coming here because Doha is exciting. Good money and no taxes is the major attraction for most, period.
Can one have a good social life in Doha? Yes
Is a positive attitude helpful? Yes, positive attitude can help you through almost any shit for that matter
Having a happy social life and sporting a positive attitude can change reality? No
Now to the original question: is Doha one of the most boring places ever? Probably not but I suspect expatriates would not spend as much time on QL if they had so many more exciting alternative options to fill their free time.
watz these all about moanin..... to those who found doha is a big boringggggggggggggg place....yes yes yes.... go back to your hometown kidssssss............it will best for you...loolsss...
on the serious side.... you are already here, why not make the best out of it... ;)
watz these all about moanin..... to those who found doha is a big boringggggggggggggg place....yes yes yes.... go back to your hometown kidssssss............it will best for you...loolsss...

Anywhere could be boring. I went out for dinner with a Philippino girl last weekend. That was nice, maybe do it again. I think there are always ways to relieve boredom. But it helps when you have a friendly bar to go to where you can chat with the waitresses and fellow customers.
For me, yes Doha is so dry, so boring because if I compare Doha to Philippines wowwwwwww so dry, coz we are sorrounded with so many big/giant malls with class movie houses, sorrounded with beautiful beaches, bars (comedy or for adults) you name it you have it.... BUT...why are we here in Doha? before we signed our contract we know that life here is so dry, so boring.... so what to do yani....just go with the flow....keep your fingers in your keypad and stay on line to QL........
it's what you make of it ... there is relatively little "to do" here in terms of entertainment so very important to make good friends... there are many amazing ppl here from all over the world... and keep real focused on why you came here, eg if its the money, or to have a new experience.
like i said tinay,groups & social activities don't make a town any less boring,this is a public forum in a boring town,but obviously,people are going to moan about the fact that it's boring,it'd be surprising if they didn't...& it isn't so much about the spending,going out here actually costs more than it would in Dubai because one's options are so limited,in Dubai,one is so spoiled for choice that one can find soething to suit any pocket? so wouldn't that be nice here? if one could go to a nice place,that isn't always overcrowded 'cos there are so many other places to go,& not end up burning a hole in the wallet?...possible in Dubai,not possible here...isn't the QL forum about opinions of the residents of Qatar?...well,here's the overwhelming honest opinion:- BORING...
yes its a fact that this town is boring but it all depends on how you deal with...Qatar is not all about moaning. It doesn'nt mean that I am so loving Qatar with the way I speak...but it's really how u deal with it. There is a lot of groups and social activities here that you don't need to spend that much...
tinay2285,"ull find a life somewhere" is like saying Chuck Nolan found a friend in 'Wilson' for a few years on that deserted island in castaway,sure he 'found a life' but it was far from ideal right?...this isn't just black & white luv,there's such a thing as a grey area...in a discussion such as this,there are bound to be people for & against,saying one can make/find a life anywhere isn't the topic under discussion here,it's the fact that this town is boring,which it most definitely is,that doesn't mean to say one can't 'find a life' in a boring town,you can but that doesn't change the fact that it is BORING...
this issue has been discussed quite a few times in different forms on this forum...there must be a reason for it...just got back from a weekend in Dubai...ok ok before you people start,let me make it easy for you,"then go live in Dubai,Dubai is not Doha,don't compare Dubai to Doha,why did you come back?,should've just stayed in Dubai,blahblahblah"...apologies if i left anything out...Qatar used to be a part of the UAE,Dubai is a middle eastern emirate/state like Qatar,they're both part of the GCC,geographically next to each other,are just some of the reasons i'm comparing ok people?...the biggest difference for me is how much more REAL Dubai is compared to this town...that just sums it up,it's more real people,can't help but feel that everytime i go there & it's such a refreshing feeling...there is something for EVERYBODY unlike here where there isn't much & most of what's there is only affordable to white expats on all expense paid expat packages,not true in Dubai,there literally is something catering to EVERY strata of society,that is the singular reason Doha will never be like Dubai or even close,the lack of reality in this town...it's more like a no: of big bubbles here & everyone exists(you call this living??) within their bubble,there is hardly any interaction if any outside of one's bubble & that's how the powers that be like it,it's their country,so they make the rules & we outsiders follow,fine no problem,just replying to the thread which said discuss...
Maybe you are the "Happy go lucky" kind of guy who loves to mingle with people,but to others who just want to unwind or relax themselves alone without spending too much money for the hotels/beach resort there's no other place but in your 4 corners of your room which you will really get bored most of the time.But in fairness,Qatar is just ok....for earning money only.
dry coz its a desert...and no much greenery around if you are looking in terms of nature...but if calling it boring is up to you...You decide how to deal your life here.
You want to enjoy you can. Also depends on your interests...
Jeez guys, get off your arse and get a life. I have a very active social life here. Get a hobby or two. get out and meet people. Join clubs and societies.
There's lots to do if you get out and look for it!
It depends on how social you are. Nevertheless it cannot be denied of some restrictions in freedoms from clothing to foods. The weather are worth commendable as well, from hot hot summer to chilling winter inclusive of these frequent sand and dust storms. Just live with it.
Qatar's winter months are brimming with unmissable experiences, from the AFC Asian Cup 2023 to the World Aquatics Championships Doha 2024 and a variety of outdoor adventures and cultural delights.

Dry because there is no life inside of us. If there is life and fulfilment inside of us, absolutely you will not find that doha is boring anymore.
I don't find Doha boring or dry.. I have less of a social life than Saudi, but I can do a lot more things..
Get out and have some fun..
Well B,day today actually, anyway went off to find Dukhan beach and found it, took some photos (Friday) then headed back to Villagio and bought some olive oil (fresh out). sat took myself swimming then went to tanjore for a slap up indian, it does'nt get any better than this...

this issue has been discussed quite a few times in different forms on this forum...there must be a reason for it...just got back from a weekend in Dubai...ok ok before you people start,let me make it easy for you,"then go live in Dubai,Dubai is not Doha,don't compare Dubai to Doha,why did you come back?,should've just stayed in Dubai,blahblahblah"...apologies if i left anything out...Qatar used to be a part of the UAE,Dubai is a middle eastern emirate/state like Qatar,they're both part of the GCC,geographically next to each other,are just some of the reasons i'm comparing ok people?...the biggest difference for me is how much more REAL Dubai is compared to this town...that just sums it up,it's more real people,can't help but feel that everytime i go there & it's such a refreshing feeling...there is something for EVERYBODY unlike here where there isn't much & most of what's there is only affordable to white expats on all expense paid expat packages,not true in Dubai,there literally is something catering to EVERY strata of society,that is the singular reason Doha will never be like Dubai or even close,the lack of reality in this town...it's more like a no: of big bubbles here & everyone exists(you call this living??) within their bubble,there is hardly any interaction if any outside of one's bubble & that's how the powers that be like it,it's their country,so they make the rules & we outsiders follow,fine no problem,just replying to the thread which said discuss...
I came here for the income, i spend most of my free time with something I like to do,
But if you are really a adventurer, you have a right to feel it!
What to do yani,,stay or go?
Maybe you are the "Happy go lucky" kind of guy who loves to mingle with people,but to others who just want to unwind or relax themselves alone without spending too much money for the hotels/beach resort there's no other place but in your 4 corners of your room which you will really get bored most of the time.But in fairness,Qatar is just ok....for earning money only.
dry coz its a desert...and no much greenery around if you are looking in terms of nature...but if calling it boring is up to you...You decide how to deal your life here.
You want to enjoy you can. Also depends on your interests...
most of the places are teeming with soggy British Expats and they drive me to absolute abstraction,,,
Jeez guys, get off your arse and get a life. I have a very active social life here. Get a hobby or two. get out and meet people. Join clubs and societies.
There's lots to do if you get out and look for it!
It depends on how social you are. Nevertheless it cannot be denied of some restrictions in freedoms from clothing to foods. The weather are worth commendable as well, from hot hot summer to chilling winter inclusive of these frequent sand and dust storms. Just live with it.
Very boring!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Yessssss!
you would be hard pressed to find a place less exciting...its worse watching paint dry,,,,
No.
