"General tips to be polite in Qatar" Doha Local Custom Tip by ElCidRugger
Doha Local Customs: 28 reviews and 46 photos
There are some things that you should know before traveling here to make sure you give a good impression and don't offend anyone. Here's a list of tips:
Never show another person the sole of your foot. This includes when crossing your legs.
Never take someone's picture (especially women) without asking permission first.
Never give the thumbs up or OK hand signs. This is not as big a deal as I used to be (thanks to outside cultural influences), but it is still a good idea to avoid.
Watch the alcohol and pork intake. If dining with Muslim friends refrain from these items.
Avoid using your left hand when gesturing or passing food, it is considered unclean.
These are the big ones but there are more. It's always better to err on the side of good manners when traveling abroad.
