Do not forget to buy Qatari rial (QAR) before you leave for Qatar
When planning a trip, it's important to be well informed about practices, customs, means of transport and, above all, the local currency. In Qatar, the local currency is the Qatari rial (QAR). You can easily pay with your bank cards, but in some contexts you may need Qatari rial in cash. Therefore, we advise you to exchange EUR QAR before you leave. Exchanging your currency before you leave allows you to take the time to check the rates offered and certainly find the best one for your travel money. We also advise you to set a travel budget so that you can have an idea about the amount of currency to exchange.
