Doha Street Map
Does anybody know where one can buy a street map of Doha? I realise that the streets are changing regularly, but at least the main feeders remain constant. A new arrival needs something in order to orientate to teh city. I saw a nice one at Dubai Airport the other day but, like a fool, did not buy it!

Well i recently found this library, i hope you can find it, it help me out when i was in Catar, i don't know if they have one of Doha:

they have free vector maps of cities, you may have a chance there :)
you can buy updated one , just look for DOHA GUIDE map in jarir library .
I'm relatively new here in Doha, but I bought the Marhaba map (the big burgundy coloured one) and it was pretty confusing the first few days, as it shows many great routes that don't yet or no longer exist. It is an enhanced satellite map and really good for getting a lay of the land and points out all the main attractions in Doha. I also use the Doha living map, but even that one is at least 8 months behind or so.
Incidentally, if you are going to be renting a car when you arrive, many of the car rental places provide a map (I rented from Oasis) and it is the exact same as the Marhaba map, and it is free! Even if you are not renting, pop by and I bet if you ask about prices and then just ask if you can have one, I’m sure they would give it to you. I know it is not a huge savings, but still… free is free!
You could always use the Doha Map on http://wwwqatarliving.com
You get the Marhaba map at most supermarkets (Carrefour, Family Food etc...) which is pretty good and should be sufficient, but with all these diversions and road blocks good luck reading the map.....
Google earth is also a good option.....
