Hi, strange question maybe..I'm not in Doha yet but will be moving soon. Is it safe and accepted for a woman to be jogging outside, in the evening? And what would be a good place, I was thinking along the Corniche..

We used to jog/walk there in the corniche with some lady friends. One teenager in white suddenly grab our lady friend's buttocks and all his friends started laughing. When we approached them, we noticed that they are more than we expected. Our friend said that we will just ignore what happened coz maybe they will beat us all. She avoided going to conrniche since then.

It's totally safe to jog along the cornice. Just don't talk to strangers, and no one will bother you:)

I used to hate the Corniche, so bloody crowded.

And then I broke my ankle, and it is my only solace during my physio, hobbling around the water-front.

Although 'proper clothes' are important, also buy a sports bra! I was there the other night and this poor woman had every single male mouth gaping at her 'bouncing', and nearly gave herself 2 black eyes :-p

forgive me if iam wrong when people say thay doha is safe place for womans i dnt believe it i have seen many cases of Staring , passing comments, taking pictures myself in corniche when womans are doing jogging.

My wife complaint many times when she was doing jogging abt such incidents after that i used to accompany her when she is used to go out and specially in the evening

do Jogging in the evening if possible as crowd is more and safe too.

basically women are pretty safe to do anything around here. just be street smart and use a little common sense and you should be fine. Other options would be to join a all ladies gym, or a thread mill at home. Loads of women jogging along the corniche :)

It is safe for ladies everywhere in Qatar. Nobody can dare even to look at the lady and she don't want. But some places are unsafe and not allowed for single guys
