Al Khor - Food and drink

LP shld be served for free he often gets on a roll after getting drunk :/

the Al Waha club is a recreation facility within the Al Khor Community gates meaning it serves people working in RasGas and Qatargas. Such clubs inside this kind of facility DO NOT serve alcohol.

There is no beer sold in supermarkets or convenience stores.

As said above only those with a QDC Liquor permit will be able to get some booze and drink it "at home".

If you still want to go "a club" and get a few drinks then you (and your friend/friends) will have to drive to Doha.

Regards!!

Universal, the customs officers will be glad to get some pork and Vodka for Christmas.

And, yeah, you need an NOC (No Objection) from your sponsor to apply for the permit!

So you reckon smuggling in a bottle of vodka or two and a pork joint for my mates Xmas dinner is a no no then?

And since it's a Muslim country, your permit is limited to approximately 40% of your salary per month.

I lived in a couple of Muslim countries where beer is freely and not so freely available - just thought this might be one of them.

You need a 'Liqor Permit' and then you can buy at a place called QDC (managed by Qatar Airways). From there you are allowed to bring the stuff to your home and get drunk. Alternatively you can go to a five-star-hotel bar and pay 50 or more Riyals for one lousy can of Heineken.

^Dude, it is a Muslim country. I doubt beer is available anywhere outside hotel clubs and a government-run outlet. Your dreaming if you think you can get beer in a supermarket.

Benson - reason I am asking is my friend lives in Al Khor for almost 2 weeks - he claims that the clubs do not serve alcohol - like the Waha club and so on - is that true? I am coming to visit him over Christmas and I am sure he is wrong WRONG. he is also yet to get his residents permit - will the supermarket serve him a few cans of beer or not?
