Corniche visitors complain of ‘indecent’ dressing
Some residents have complained of “indecent dressing” and “inappropriate behaviour” by a section of visitors to the Corniche, local daily Al Arab has reported.
Recalling one such incident, a young Qatari woman said she was walking along the Corniche when she saw a young couple lie next to each other in an “inappropriate” manner.
Another woman angrily said some male and female students of an international school, who were accompanied by a teacher, were wearing “improper” clothes instead of their uniform during a recent trip to the Corniche.
Other residents gave similar accounts of “indecent dressing” and “inappropriate behaviour” along the Corniche, which is visited by a large number of people, including families, and called for the deployment of guards to stop such practices, the report stated.
They said people should wear decent attire while engaging in recreational activities, adding that doing exercises is no excuse for wearing “improper” dresses.
What do you think about how people dress lately in Doha?

Myself and my husband had been trying to get pregnant for 18 months before I was referred to Priest Babaka fertility solution. We had no definite diagnosis of what was wrong and had become very frustrated. In November 2017 I was given a thorough reproductive health work up, I found out I had low progesterone, thyroid issues and a stomach issue which was affecting my ability to get pregnant. This was a very thorough process involving dietary, hormonal and physical investigations and started the recommended treatments in Feb 16 2018 by Priest Babaka. I was pregnant by April 17. I had a baby boy in march 2019. I was carefully monitored and Priest Babaka was always available for me. I can recommend Priest Babaka more highly so much so we are hoping to start trying for a second baby under his guidance. email: [email protected] or Facebook at priest.babaka
i want to say hallelujah to lord for using Priest Babaka of [email protected] to bless my womb, i have been married for the past 10year without a child i have look for all kind of help that can make me get pregnant but nothing works, but through an insight i came across Priest Babaka profile at the internet when i was searching for help on how i can get a baby, Quickly i contacted him to help me out, he said he will cast a spell that will make me sleep with my partner and get pregnant so he said he need to buy some of the other items he will use in casting the spell from the market that he want me to send him the money he will use in buying the items so i gave him the money and he cast the spell for me and ask me to go and lie with my partner so i did to my greatest surprise i became pregnant after that week so with so much joy in my heart i want to share this out to everyone in need that i have found favor in the hands of Priest Babaka of [email protected], contact him now to via email : [email protected] or Facebook at priest.babaka

i think it is really simple.. yes expat need to respect laws of the country we live in.. but if Qatar is to become an internatially reknown business hub then it needs to become a bit more tolerant of other cultures...
it is really simple... you dont like clothing.. don't look at it... and nobody forces muslims to not wear their traditional dresses in the west.. so why should Arabic state force expats.. clothing is a personal choice.. it is up to the wearer not up to the viewer... i would alsodefend muslim clothing in the west... the way I am defending expat's right to wear lighter clothing.. andthen where do you draw a line... as you start controlling other people lives... I think private life and personal choice are important to people
We need to respect the laws and culture of the land we are living in. We are guests in someone else's homeland. You would not go to someone else's home and wear something that offended them, why do it to a whole country? We all have a different level of acceptance. Many places in the west do not accept innapropriate dress or behaviour. The Surma tribe in Ethiopia walk around naked yet this would be unacceptable in western countries.
Accept and respect the rules and requests of the country you are a guest in.
Respect the dress code of Qatar as govt. published in the news paper few months ago.
Its in the mind ... live and let live my friends ...
I think there shouldn't be such a fuzz out of this thing as people exaggerate those stuff if you see the girl ok jeans and a sleeveless t shirt then up tights call it showing her sensitive parts well guess what shoulders are not sensitive parts......and I have never came across people wearing really outrageous cloth
Perhaps a regulation regarding short and tight dresses for men and women (both) is on the way. While the women have to wear moderate (Long and loose) dresses, the men have to set aside their tight swimming dresses.
Dhoti wearing people (short cloth wore by males of a few nationalities) also have to in the loop of this regulation.
what amazes me the most on qatar living is how non-Qatari's decides themselves who will stay in the country and who wont.
can any1 provide this exact location ??? y ppl r really bothered abt others,,,,,jus ignore and walk,,,,,,hahahahahah :))
What's the number we can call when men are wearing the wrong clothes?
maybe he is a woman disguised as man
BB what do you think about the above statement
well said Maria
Please girls or ladies....you have to understand a reality that man respect a lady who wear most modest dresses than a lady showing her private parts. Try to understand your value by covering your private parts which should be shown only in bed at night with your husband. If you respect your husband you should follow modest dresses.
Anyway this country has some dress code in public places. If I find any lady wearing immodest dresses I will call the number 2346111. And my friends please use this number to stop the culture of immodest dressing. We together make a better world.
BB and R2R if u guyz hav some personnel problem sort it outside the QL dnt expect other members will be doing that....:)))
r2r...i think you are from zoo..zoo animals have better sense than human until and unless it is acceptable for u to find a human to be in nudity if that finds you comfortable
R2R..i was not discussing about your girl friend dressing here but about fact...hope u can get my point
Box , I think you are from Zoo , people discuss about dress sense here .
we don't go around in the UK or Russian telling people with Hijab please remove the head cover its bothering us or please were a sleeveless shirt ........But people forcefully remove the hijab from them or see with weird look...the same thing does not happen here...that is the difference between your country where showing skin is open while not here
maria...wear full covered cloth...lol..you mean nudity is better than modesty....in this case animals are better than us..they can adjust in all climates without complaining
I think if anybody is bothered just look away, employers bring expats to work here they can not expect us to wear full covered cloth when it is 50 degrees out there mutual understanding we don't go around in the UK or Russian telling people with Hijab please remove the head cover its bothering us or please were a sleeveless shirt .....
I think if Arabs are claiming respect for vail when living in foreign countries (which is totally deserved), they should also respect what others want to wear.
It's a two way street.
to all of those who are squalling for the indecent dressing or something like that .just respect the law of the land . if the land of the qatar rule is that , follow it . i dont understand what the problem . and get on with the life
i dont care it islamic or non islamic , it law of the land forgod sake
be mature
I don't believe anyone on here said there were no rape crimes in urban cities; dressing provocatively does not mean that it will lead to crimes. Does it influence it? Maybe. Are men of the 21st Century capable of co-existing with women without thinking of them sexually and acting upon it? I hope so. In the Western culture, women can dress how they want; it does not mean they want men to touch them.
I agree that people should be respectful of the culture that they are living in; however, I do not agree with hypocrisy of culture here. Don't judge people because of their beliefs or how they want to dress. Don't impose religious views and claim that your opinion is the ONLY correct opinion. Stick to your beliefs, but don't try and change my views; I'll be more apt to respect you and your thinking. Treat other human beings respect, no matter their country of origin, or their job. I see people all the time not cleaning up after themselves in the mall; people don't respect other people here. How can you expect to gain any respect if you don't show it? Hold doors open for people; don't cut people off while driving; clean up your garbage; say 'thank you,' 'please,' 'you're welcome.' Be compassionate. Teach your kids respect by respecting others.
It's the barbaric nature of man to think women are property; it's the naive mind of man to think how someone dresses should determine how they should be treated.
So are you telling me no rap crimes in urban cities like DC and LA, please understand how human nature is defaulted by Allah (SWT) and don't take short cuts
the problem is, they wear it dirty instead of sexy
follow the Islam And Islamic culture. that is good for all human beings any where every where.
may god bless you----------------

this is the measurement of next generation to us. let me wear small clothes awesome!!
People find hijab offensive in the West and people find shorts offensive in the Middle East..comes down to the same thing; being intolerant of a different way of life/culture and being hostile to any thing that is not familiar..having said that, one should be willing to better integrate into the society one lives in or else not go there in the first place
Follow their culture, that seems to be the right thing to do... This is their land. Same as Don't get offended if Australians ask them to remove their veils when they go there. :P
hahahahaha.....again all about Qatar
Zaheer sayeed...nice comnent....so u prefer people to look nude in 21st century....then animals are better than us....why we be human beings

To respect other cultures not just means that the locals should respect what expats are wearing.The same applies to foreigners. Arabs have a culture to cover themselves.
People know matter from where on earth you are ...learn to respect yourself first by covering(specially women)....so that u r comfortable....
Just a one day round up of ALFAZAA on those violators, for sure nobody will try again to display their assets on public places. =)

JUST SIMPLY FOLLOW THE RULES & REGULATION of this COUNTRY. Wearing of such dress exposing the sensitive parts of your body will make others think of something else. I have seen many inside the malls and it is irritating scene..makes me change my mood! :P
Arabian and Islamic culture forbids women to wear revealing dresses, because that invites more attention from males, by default. However they have freedom to wear whatever they want at home. God, who created the women, orders women to hide their bodies, because he knows what others do not.
If you don't like or can't take culture of this country then leave... take it or leave it...
As an American, we get blamed all the time for disrespecting the culture. I see Europeans wear very revealing clothing all the time and think it's disgusting. Respect the culture of the country you are in!
get over it ..let the people b free .. its 21st century
how will you explain “indecent dressing” and “inappropriate behaviour” to the westerners, asian countries who's used to it with that culture, we respect the culture here, but do you respect those people.. admit it or not you're also watching on cable TV some “indecent dressing” and “inappropriate behaviour” and more than that too, so don't act as if you're a clean person ok...
Why the hell are people caring what others wear? If you don't like what you're looking at, look somewhere else! How does this "protect society"? it just makes us look even more backward...People around the world are working on eradicating hunger and reducing pollution and we're complaining about people wearing shorts when they exercise...damn...
there is now new phone number that anyone who feel offended from any lady wear in improper way so they come and take her out of the mall or the place 2346111 this is a positive way to protect the scociety
@Ahmedcphq. What u mean? Do u agreed expart lady using bikini along cornice? Clarify u statement.
I'm against indecency. But you accepted that most of your country are expats. So accept them the way they are. Don't ask for too much. Respect to get respected.
Ladies should not wear "Revealing Dresses" while visiting the public places, like Corniche, Malls, Markets and Restaurants etc. There is a need to regulate this by a civil law.
