I won an award and got offered a pass to Qatar. I'll probably go but what is there to do there. I looked up some stuff but would like some first hand opinions.
thank you in advance

I was there for a four day pass. It is so damn hot there, and the wind always seems to be in your face, no matter which way you face. It is nice though, they have trips to restaurants, the mall and a water excursion that are available. My advice is to get there early in the morning, to ensure that you can get on a trip. Soldiers also can take some people on pass out on their own, but its first come first serve. The USO and MWR are great. THere is a Chillis and a couple of bars to get your 3 drinks a day. I went to the restaurant and had a great meal and hit the mall, it was nice. You cant take pictures of the locals however, or anything with the Qatar flag. The gym is nice with a small movie theatre. Have a good time, if your a drinker, find those who dont drink and you can get more than 3 a day as well.

I can't answer your question because I have never been but I wanted to take a moment to thank you for your service! My husband served with 3ID in Iraq so I fully appreciate how hard it is on you and your family. I hope you have as Merry a Christmas or as Happy a Holiday as you can and know that people are gratefull for you! Be safe and come home soon. Thank You
