Doha spreads over a wide area and transport is needed to travel between neighbourhoods. The city has an excellent metro system that reaches most places a visitor might want to go. Trains have three classes of travel: standard, which is for everybody; family, which is for women and children, and men only if accompanied by a female; and gold, which has larger and more comfortable seats than the other two classes and is only for travellers with Goldclub cards

At present there are three lines (Red, Gold and Green) and 37 stations. A single journey costs QAR2 (US$0.55) and a day pass is QAR6 ($1.65). Travel cards and day passes can be purchased at self-service machines at all metro stations. Train operation times are approximately: Sunday to Wednesday, 5.30am to midnight; Thursday, 5.30am to 1am; Friday, 2pm to 1am; Saturday, 6am to midnight.

Taxis are operated by the state-owned Mowasalat company, operating as Karwa Taxi. You can find them at prominent locations, such as hotels and malls, or you can book them through the Karwa app. Uber operates in Qatar using the same app as in other countries.
