Qatar is a relatively small country and the easiest way to see it is by road. A 4WD is essential if you mean to go exploring. A lot of the beaches and intresting places in the north of Qatar can only be reached with one, though you have to have some experience to drive in the dunes in the South of Qatar. The preferred vehicle by locals is the Land Cruiser 4WD. That said you can find every other car in Doha from the Ferrari's and Lamborghini's to the 1985 Datsun. Within the city you really do need a car to get about and renting one if you have an international liscence is fairly easy, though it does take a while to get used to the driving styles adopted by many of the drivers here. Taxi's are available but are not really reliable. The bus service has very recently begun. The ticket is very nominal QR 2 but the routes and bus numbers should be checked on before you set out. There are also a number of Boats on hire and sale that are excellent for exploring the neighboring islands that form a part of Qatar.
