Quarantine requirements now extended for all arrivals until May 31, 2021: Discover Qatar
Hotel quarantine packages for arrivals from countries not on the Green List have now been extended until May 31, 2021.
Prior to the extension, the booking option was available until February 15, 2021. However, now the website shows hotel booking options until the end of May 2021.
There are four categories of quarantine bookings on Discover Qatar. These include:
- Land Arrivals from Kingdome of Saudi Arabia
- Arrivals from the UK, Denmark, Netherlands & South Africa
- Arrivals from Red Zone Countries
- Mekaines/Mukaynis Quarantine
“Please do not book a “Welcome Home Package” until you have read the FAQ’s, you know what type of quarantine you will be required to complete, and you have approval to travel to Qatar,” the website states further.
For March 2021 (for red zone countries), the website currently shows about 33 hotels with the lowest price being QAR 2,036 for 7-night stay.
Important Information as listed on the website:
- Quarantine requirements will be determined by the country from which the flight departs and whether it is included as a ‘Covid Low Risk Country’ or not. Please see MOPH website for the current list.
- Please do not book a “Welcome Home Package” until you have read all of the information on this page, you have approval to travel to Qatar, and you know what type of quarantine you will be required to complete.
- There is a daily limit on arrivals entering Qatar and demand is extremely high.
- If you are searching for availability and no hotels are displayed, it is most likely that the daily arrivals limit has been reached. You will need to choose another date.
- Discover Qatar are not involved with the Exceptional Entry Permit process and are unable to assist with any queries about your certificate.
- Once a booking is confirmed, amendments to quarantine hotel packages cannot be made. Once you have made your booking it is non-refundable and the dates cannot be amended*. Please therefore do not book your quarantine package until you are sure that the details are correct.
- * The only exception to this condition is if your airline cancels your flight, in which case you will be eligible to amend the dates of your booking once only. Any new quarantine package booked will be subject to availability and the daily arrival limit. Any differential on the package prices will be payable.

Many of them qatar are working with minimum paid salaries including me, how is it possible to for us bear the hotel quarantine charges.
We request the government to please insist the hotels to reduce the charges of the hotel quarantine , it will be more helpful for many of them to meet their families ....
Qatar is Blessed by Allah Subhanahu Wa Tala, may Allah continue His blessing. I am suffering from the rule of no new visa, have not seen my family since the lockdown started. People with QIDs are traveling out and coming back, including to red zone countries. I think Qatar should provide new visa on condition of taking Covid-19 specific health insurance.
It's a safe strategy that Qatar is following.
But tbh, families travelling together should have home quarantine by default.
