I am interested in relocating at Qatar. I used to live at Saudi Arabia. I am a Filipina. Will I have trouble adjusting with life in Qatar independently? Are you required to wear abaya like in Saudi?

Welcome to Qatar,

No need to wear an abaya here if you dont like. But make sure the clothes are suitable for an Islamic country. You can live independently here without problems. You will be safe here if you obey the local laws.

No, you wouldn't have any problem in adjusting and you don't have to wear an abaya in Qatar.
