Tips / Resources:

Best ride-hailing apps (according to Perplexity):

• Uber - Most reliable (especially for airport trips), consistent service quality
• Karwa Taxi - Qatar's official taxi service, professional drivers, typically cheaper than Uber
• Badrgo - Budget option, significantly cheaper than Uber for longer journeys
