Before you go
What the guide flags for wheelchair users.
- Doha is better than most of the region for wheels: new pavements, metro stations with lifts, ramps in museums and malls. Heat and distances are the barrier, not the surfaces. (Accessibility · summary)
- Pavements: Smooth in the new districts (Msheireb, The Pearl, Katara, the Corniche), rougher and with high kerbs in older streets and parts of Souq Waqif. (Accessibility)
- Metro: All Doha Metro stations are step-free with lifts and tactile paving; staff can help (check the day's service). (Accessibility)
- Taxis: Some Karwa vehicles are adapted; ask when you book. Ride-hailing cars are standard saloons. (Accessibility)
