Qatar (Doha International Airport is very small). The duty free gold inside is much more expensive than anything outside in the city and there are very few shops. There is no organised layout to the way people are taken to their flight and people may also get very mixed up with the flight boards changing irregularly and without notice. The toilets (men's) have holes in the floors downstairs but I think the upstairs toilets are better. While waiting for a flight, I also saw military aircraft flying over the airport quite often. Be aware that you are not allowed to photograph the airport or planes, for security reasons. I think they don't allow batteries because they had some kind of sign saying that they were not allowed just before the metal-detecor. Who knows?
You are also *NOT* allowed to take crystal into the country along with alcohol! + reciepts for any gold purchased should be kept in case you go to another country which ask you to prove something. (it does happen)
I think only two airlines fly to it.... these are Gulf Air and Qatar Airways

I flew into Doha airport last year as i was on business in the city. And OH MY GOD what a lacking airport. The only bonus was i was flying Emirates Business class back to Dubai, but even the Business lounge was nothing to shout home about.
Will definitely not be flying there if i have anything to do about it

The Airport isn't too good, but the city is EXCELLENT FOR GOLD PRICES.

I have heard that this is a really rubbish airport - makes you want to ensure you get a direct flight only!
