Extra Travel Tips

  • Mix Cash & Card
    Qatar is highly card-friendly in cities like Doha and Lusail, but smaller shops, souks, and local markets may prefer cash—especially coins for minor purchases, tips, and transport.
  • Use QAR, Not AUD
    Always pay in Qatari Riyal (QAR) to avoid poor exchange rates and hidden conversion fees. Local currency is expected and ensures smoother, more respectful transactions.
  • Watch ATM Fees
    Some foreign cards may incur withdrawal charges. Use ATMs at major banks like QNB, Doha Bank, or Commercial Bank for better transparency. Avoid dynamic currency conversion when prompted.
  • Leftover Riyal After Your Trip?
    Danesh Exchange offers a buy-back service for unused QAR—simple, secure, and great value. No need to hold onto foreign cash or settle for airport rates.
