Viper, I have seen lines of taxis at Lulu, C4 and Safari main gate, while a lot of guys doing private taxi service asking for passengers at the main gate exit. Please let us all be aware of the Mall, that has a taxi problem so we can be prepared.

Britexpat, I drive and have my own car, years earlier, driving took hardly 3 to 5 min from home (Old Airport) to (Old) Airport, depending on the crowd at the signals. However, while personally travelling taking a taxi and return when coming back to Qatar, years back going would cost hardly Qr.7 to Qr.8 (so you can image the distance) returning was a different story. Later it was Qr.35.00 one way going or coming, my point being, rates are unbelievable here.
