Good information. I never thought of drinking from the tap, even when I ran out of bottled water. Maybe you can get the water cooler and have 2 - 4 humungous bottles there as back up, and when you have one bottle left, you call them for the refills? Just an idea.

Hi ,

Just for your Information , the Qatar ( DOha ) water is rated best and safe to drink in Whole region / Middle east-

Its really safe-if you drink direct water from Tap ( i mean not from any reserve water from Home / Hotel water tanks )

Just for your Info- I am here in Doha for last 17 years, and don’t have any problem for It - Enjoy

( If you are ill or Younger kids at Home, then for a safe side use Mineral water )

Regards

The water from Karama is clean. It's your tank which may make it dangerous. When did you have the tank cleaned lastly?

NO you can drink it.

Some pipe are rusted as it is very old Kahramaa is changing it.If you have any dout you can heat it and drink.It is better than Bottled water.

Kahramaa supllies 100% safe water as per WHO standards.
