The airport will request your yellow fever vaccination card when you enter the security section. Apart from yellow fever, there are sometimes other vaccinations needed, depending on any flare-ups in the country. It is important you check with your local travel clinic before you fly.
Some private vendors hire out scooters, available outside the airport; you could bargain with them for a good price on hire scooters and mopeds. All prices vary depending on the vendor, and the condition of the vehicles may be debatable. The roads are largely unpredictable; many are still unpaved and there are no regular petrol stations on the island, so be cautious with scooter hire if you do not thoroughly understand the area.

Provide latest releases in Movies as they used to do.
I like is everything is good seets are little uncomfortable during the long flight ✈️ Doha to us , luggage 🧳 came too late overall very nice thank you for all
Just snacks, could have more options.boarding was good. Everything else was good.
Flight delayed, rerouted, communication extremely poor. Crew efficient but robotic, not supportive
Never got the chance to get on the plane as my inbound flight was delayed and the staff of qatar airways denied any help or support
Seat electronics kept failing (as in absolutely nothing worked) - crew re-set it multiple, but didn’t move me until finally three quarters of the way into the flight - abysmal. Entertainment options are plentiful, but a number of expected movies were missing (did an SQ flight 3 days later and expected titles were on SQ) - does Qatar sensor what they show?
Seats very uncomfortable, impossible to sleep. Food average, bakery items not fresh. Pockets in seats not large enough to hold a book and a few other items. Cabin temperature too cold, even with blanket. Good selection of movies. Other than that 12 hours of torture!
We had to move to terminal 5 for the next part of our trip. Very un-organized and difficult.
I requested wheel chair assistance , it was confirmed via email that inwoood get it but I didn’t get it . The last leg of my trip to Nigeria was the worst.
