They are beggars, don't give them anything. I was scammed a few times by this kind of people.

The police advise you to not give money to them. Begging is illegal in Qatar.

I experienced the same twice or thrice, not in Qatar,in Saudi. That was different families with 5 or 6 kids including infants, in Oman registered Cars. This is normal view if you travel from qatar to Makkah or Madina.
