Navigating Qatar in a wheelchair is quite convenient. The sidewalks are smooth, and the curbs are designed to be accessible. While large roads may not have dedicated sidewalks, smaller (service) roads leading up to shopping malls or large business complexes usually feature sidewalks. Qatar is generally flat, though you might encounter some gentle inclines in certain areas.

Never try to cross the street unless there is a specially designated pedestrian island with a clearly marked crosswalk. The streets in Qatar were primarily designed for cars, not pedestrians with visual or hearing impairments or wheelchair users. While plans exist to make Qatar more non-motorist friendly, we advise you to refrain from asking for help to cross streets without designated crosswalks and use a taxi (or Uber etc.) instead.
