No ... we dont have any right with the Qatari when it comes into driving. You should just give way to them. Thats what i do for 6 yrs living here. And yes it is annoying ...
On the contrary of your story ... yesterday we want to look for this riding club down in Al Rayyan road. I had the map from another mum at school, but she draw it like nearly 1 yr ago. So today we explore the place and try to find the entrance. Somehow the place that should be an entrance to the riding club all blocked off due to the building site in education city. We weren't so sure and try to find another way to get in ... went around it and cant see anything that looks like another entrance. So we stopped in one of the house with the tent outside to look at our map. A young Qatari guy came out from the tent ... he asked what are we looking for ... we show the map and pointing at the riding club ... This Qatari guy try to explain where it is ... but because his english very limited we couldn't understand each other. So he just said come follow me. He jumped into his car (brand new escalade black colour) and we followed him. We ended up in the same place that we been before. He said according to the map this is the place. And he told us to wait he going to ask the security. So he go down and ask the security ... security have no idea what we talking about. He then made a few phone call and talking in arabic. He said his friend also have no idea. I think then he trying to say that there is an 'horse place' somewhere in Hyatt Plaza (which is i guess he referred to Equastrian club). My husband trying to tell him is allright not a big deal ... we can ask again to the lady who gave us a map. And then he offered to take us to the nearest shopping mall ... just in case we dont know our way around. He probably think we are a new expat jst arrive in Doha. I was really impressed with the hospitality of this Qatari guy, and really appreciate it.
Both me and husband talked about it in the car ... and said most probably this is the same driver that we normally swear at on the road lol. :D
