Hi everyone, A question about the weather..what's the winter like in Doha? My travel guide and a web page I came across are at odds with each other. Will I ever need heavy wool coats, boots etc? Should these all go to my parents for when I visit Scotland?
People who say you need "winter" clothes in Qatar obviously haven't lived anywhere really cold!!
Bring a coat in case you end up out in the desert on a night tour sometime, and a couple of cardies/ jumpers/ whatever you want to call them.... a pair of closed-toes shoes/boots... that's about it!
With the houses being tiled and fairly good at keeping out the heat, I found inside the house to be colder than outside, sometimes...
I have soooo many boxes of scarves, beanies, woollen coats etc now languishing in the spare room... ugh. Don't bring too many, especially if you have the option to leave them somewhere!
Send it all to your parents. You might need a warm sweater and a light rain jacket, but that would be it. Definitely no need for winter jackets. The lowest it really gets here is about 17 degrees. I walked around in shorts and t-shirts when I first got here in January.
Well, yes I guess you better bring warm clothes for winter between January and March. The temperature is not like britain ofcourse, but you would freeze sometimes in the night. This is a deser winter which goes inside bones :)
