I deployed to Qatar earlier this year. I was there for six months. There’s really nothing to see outside of town. The souqs are a nice place to get trinkets and the likes, but the main attractions, I think, are the malls. One has lots of shops and four levels. It’s huge! The other has an indoor boat ride, and the ceiling is painted to look like the sky. As far as Middle Eastern countries go, this one is pretty safe. Overall I was unimpressed, but if visiting the Middle East is on your places to go list, I’d recommend this one over some of it’s more hostile neighbors.
