The only drawback is the vague organization of the departure of arriving passengers to the city. If you are not paying attention, you get into a transit zone. I have to come back
Stunningly beautiful design, attentive staff, 100% care for transit passengers.

It's a great airport. It is impossible to get lost. There is a man with a badge at every step. If you need to know something, then just come up, ask and they will tell you everything. Well, of course you need to know English.
I don't know why people are surprised here. An absolutely ordinary airport, just like all over the world. But my impression remained negative because of the business halls. We flew business class on Qatar Airways, you can go here, you can't go there, in general, the waiting room is not included in business class. And the one that managed to get into by priority pass is packed, there is nowhere to sit, they throw up their hands at the reception. Well, sometimes they pretend they don't see you or hear you. In short, an airport with a claim to something cool, but terribly overrated. The collapse.
It was the eighth time... It has only gotten better since 2016 and 2017... That there is only a new winter garden (or rather a winter forest) under the roof.
A huge airport. Four terminals A B C D. An electric train runs, you can also use an electric car. It is very clean, there are fountains with drinking water, strollers for small children. Playgrounds for children, Internet zones next to them. On the last trip, when I was looking for a place where I could change clothes, I discovered the presence of rooms marked with the sign "silhouette of a woman and a mosque", so in this room you can comfortably change clothes and refresh yourself, but in general this room is intended for those who need to prepare for prayer, because from it you can get to a specially designed There is a room for this. At the airport, for those who have a long transfer, there is an opportunity to visit a tour of Doha, for this you need to walk in the transit zone to terminal A near gate A4, there is a Discover Qatar Transit Tours counter, which is located in Section A no later than 90 minutes before the start. As for the food, there are a lot of cafes, but we liked the cafe with Indian cuisine, it is located in Terminal A. And another feature of such a large airport is that flights are not announced, everything needs to be tracked on the scoreboard or go to the information desks, announcements are made, but only if someone is looking for, or in remote places they can locally announce the start of boarding, but within the same terminal.
We flew to Qatar in business class, and we had a long transfer in Doha. And the waiting room is on. When we were flying in that direction, we did not find the hall we needed, we sat down in some simply good one. And on the way back, we already found the ticket hall we needed. We liked it. It is very spacious. There are several halls, a restaurant with decent fresh food upstairs. It's not stuffy anywhere. Comfortable armchairs, a fountain, a sleeping area, Showers... the trees are planted inside...complete relaxation...
