I beg to differ Airsuplly, although Qatar is safer than many countries, it is still not extremely safe. She definitely cannot walk along in the middle of the night! Moreover, it would be recommended that she doesn't walk alone at any time if possible(there's a thread about a lady who got raped in daylight while walking alone), and not to ride in public buses. And also be careful in busy malls and such cause there are theives (check one of the threads about a theft in Villagio).

I'm trying to freak u out izzie, but better safe than sorry. It's not that dangerous in Qatar, but u just have to be aware of ur surroundings to prevent any bad happening.
