Hey.. Beautiful video like you.❤. You must explore hamad new opened orchard next time.. 💥.. I'm also traveling soon to doha..

[@kerry452]

Such a good vid and very good tips. I've got a stopover here for 4hours but unfortunately it's between 3-7am so can't imagine anything open 😭

[@freddyfrost8195]

How was the experience?

[@stanleymaximillian8403]

How was Doha on the morning?

[@videographerguy1360]

When I was flying to Cochin, I had to stay in Doha for 4 hours (9.20pm-1.45am) I wasn't able to explore everywhere because I can spend there for less time.

[@feltfloristsehllamalick2958]

I ended up watching your whole video because I wanted to know about the layover at the airport . I am flying economy class from Sydney to Doha and Doha to Pakistan . My layover at Doha airport is more then 8 hours . Flying with my 8 year son . Do they offer free of cost sleeping facility ? Have you covered sleeping area video too ? Sydney to doha flight duration is 15 hours , then over layover at the airport is more then 8 hours .

[@shivikhandelwal]

Hey! They do have sleeping facility, but it is chargeable! Hope this helps!

Did qatar airways allow you to take backpack?

Yes, you are allowed to carry 1 backpack / 1 piece of hand luggage

[@arpitapatnaik8295]

Hi, I have a 6 hr 50 mins layover at Doha. Travelling with husband and 5 year old child. 18:45 Doha time till 1:35 am boarding. Do you think sleeping for 2-3 hours at sleep n fly will make sense. It's costing us 17k (min they will charge for 6 hours) this includes double bed + kids bed. Is it worth? Or we can utilise time at airport and spend the time at airport and Al Maha lounge instead (we have access). Also, how are the quiet rooms.. are the recliners comfortable?

[@shivikhandelwal]

Hello, well it's a personal choice. Airport is big enough to spend time. If you have a major travel plan next day and you need to relax, you can stay at Sleep n Fly. Otherwise, I feel for 2-3 hrs it's not worth it. You will spend some time in getting comfortable at the place, and then 10-15 min while leaving :) Lounge should be good enough!!

Great vlog Mam... Keep creating such great content 👍👍👍👍

[@shivikhandelwal]

Thanks! :)

[@deepak316c]

This is very late comment but did you guys approach the help desk of Qatar? Because I read that they provide you with free hotel accommodation if your layover is more or equal to 8hours

[@shivikhandelwal]

Hey - we did not know this. Thanks for the tip. Others may help from it!

Hi I have 8 hours lay over in Qatar travelling from Philippines going to UK and I have British passport, can I go out of the airport and meet up with a relative that lives in Qatar? Do I need a visa to do it ?

[@abdulhakeem7411]

you can get a visa on arrival not sure about it though,but on my pakistani passport i get VOA.moreover if you get VOA you need to be in a 1 day quarantine at an discover qatar (qatar hotel’s website) hotel. so if you have a 8 hour layover thats no possible. i have a 6 hour layover on thursday too so i had the same question but sadly the answer wasnt my on my side :((

[@videographerguy1360]

Transit visa for 6 hours is enough. I'm not sure how to get it, probably from a website.

[@RG.......]

Hey good video and info - how much was the airfare and where did you book from? Also do share documents checked before boarding, transit and on arrival. Safe travels..

[@shivikhandelwal]

Our round trip ticket was around 60k per person. We booked 20 days before the trip (due to covid restriction uncertainties), hence it is on an expensive side. We have seen flights between 40-50k mostly (round trip, per person). Refer to below link for documents: gatewayglobe.com/public/userfiles/files/Tourist%20Visa%20Checklist%20-%20New%20Delhi.pdf

[@saisupreeth5268]

Really informative video. I am travelling to usa but we have only 2hrs layover, I heard for reaching gates only it will take one hour. Is it true? and we are also veg do we need to select the menu option before boarding the plane?

[@shivikhandelwal]

Yes, it takes time, 45mins - 1 hour. But I think you will still have some time to checkout any specific outlet if you want at airport. Pls pre-book veg options, most international airlines do not carry many extra veg options.

[@romankhan0911]

Can we go out from airport during our Layover at Doha and return back to airport at the time of our flights… kindly guide plz.!!

[@shivikhandelwal]

This will need a visa I think. Do check as we did not do this!

Hello, just posted another video!

[@iamwithoutundeebakth0015]

Miss shivi...I don't know If this is the right time and place to ask this...while u were travelling to a Muslim country..transited through a Muslim country...spend 7 hours of ur time in one the most luxurious Airport of a Muslim country..u must have even eaten there?...at the same time The majority community of ur country continues to harass the Muslims of ur country..in different ways as possible....it could be great while people like u could voice against this and show a bit of support to the minorities of ur country. While you travel in luxury..Post videos of ur travel ,minorities of India are being heckled and vilified!! Btw nice video!!

[@hamadsalem3245]

Very true brother...I totally agree...alot of these people work in these gulf states. These people must not act dumb..they need to raise their voice against the atrocious behaviour towards the minorities in their country..

[@shivikhandelwal]

Thank you for sharing your thoughts. Our experience in both Doha and Turkey was very good. People were warm and hospitable to us!! Personally, have respect and love for all, will continue to have the same :)

[@nilimasingh7811]

There is no such harassment. And Muslims population are high in numbers .it's jain community which population is very less than Muslim community so in real sense jain community is in minority . There are bad and good people in every community. So problem happened from both side.Problem is secular media who only show when Muslim are victim .They don't do much coverage when Hindus are victims .Problem is on both side. In Muslim countries loudspeakers are banned in mosques but if we raise such thing our secular media will defame Hindus all over the world. That's the reason you people think Muslims are harrased because you get to know one side of story. Muslim population is growing in our country but if you see in Pakistan Hindus are day by day in less number as they are forcefully converted or killed. So you guys should raise voice for Hindus minority in pakistan And yes inspite of being in majority our kaskmiri pandit were killed and thrown out of kadhmir where Muslim popoulation were more in numbers. No Muslims has been thrown out of any state in our country like that.

[@nilimasingh7811]

@@shivikhandelwal I think you should have reacted by stating fact but you go on defensive mode and that's the reason we are targeted and see them those Muslims community all over the world are united as for them religion comes first. But we are divided we just think about ownself. Kashmiri pandit were killed and thrown out of state by Muslim community in our country. Bad elements are in both community bur secular media target Hindus when m is victim but when Hindus are victim they remain quite. India is secular County because of Hindus because we don't wear religion on our sleeves but Muslim do everything according to their religion . Once they are in majority they will sharia law . Still we are being defamed by our own secular media.

[@iamwithoutundeebakth0015]

@@nilimasingh7811 1) Yes there is blatant harassment of Muslims going on in your country at the moment, there are so many evidences and proofs which we can talk about and go into details but I guess ur pre conceived notions have clattered your thinking and me giving an sort of a proof will only be equivalent to nonsense According to you! But just for the sake of argument u must be aware of the communal hatred and tension being sown in the southern state of Karnataka, where Muslim traders are not being allowed to do business!! So u see..this is just one example we have so many which we could talk about 2) you talk about Kashmiri pandits! What have the ruling fascists in your country done for them for the past 10 years that they have been in power for! They could have easily relocated them! Talking about relocation, when the pandit exodus was going on...it was again the fascists who were at the helm of power notably V.k Singh! Did u know about this! You talk about Kashmiri Pandits! What about people killed in Gujrat 2002 ! You cannot be naive just to ignore facts and talk!! 3) let's talk about the secular media that you are so proudly talk about! Which one is it..let me tell u!! The famous one's Republic tv, India today, news18, zee news, aaj tak, about news, lol..this is the secular media u are talking about? I would love to hear from you more !! 4) listen are u that low in life to compare urself with Pakistan, who for rhe last 50 years of their existence have only produced suicide bombers and terror groups, ofcourse what happens in pakistan with the minorities is not in the hands of the Muslims of India and the minorities of India, but to compare them with the minorities in Pakistan is utterly nonsensical and rubbish, Pakistan was created on the basis of religion and India takes pride on its constitution which is the basic ethos on which it was formed, so stop comparing your country to that low life and have a bigger picture. 5) this whataboutery can go on..but if u fall to the dirty propaganda of the fascists who are ruling your country then pretty soon u will one among many who will be demonstrating against these guys just like the Srilankans are doing right now! You do know what's happening in SriLanka yeh?? 6) looking forward to hearing from you 😀.
