Inoculation regulations can change at short notice. Please take medical advice in the case of doubt. Where 'Sometimes' appears in the table above, precautions may be
required, depending on the season and region visited.
* A yellow fever vaccination certificate is required from travellers over one year of age arriving from infected areas.
Food and Drink
Water used for drinking, brushing teeth or making ice from hotels and public facilities in Doha is generally safe to drink. In other areas, bottled water is a sensible precaution. Only eat well-cooked meat and fish in the summer months when inadequate storage in the heat can cause problems.
Other Risks
Vaccinations against tuberculosis and hepatitis B are sometimes recommended. In the summer, it is easy to get sunstroke or become dehydrated. Simple measures such as covering the head, keeping out of the midday sun and regularly sipping water help avoid this.
Health Care
Hamad General Hospital in Doha offers subsidised medical and dental treatment for tourists although health insurance is advised for pre-existing conditions.
