Liquor Permit

The only licensed shop you can buy alcohol at is the Qatar Distribution Company. They have only two shops in the country, one of which is in Doha. Nevertheless, the Doha branch, though hidden away in a dusty corner, is superb. There is a large range of alcohol, though it is weak on beer, the shop is large and cool and the staff extremely helpful. Prices do vary

Hope this will help... and please dont drink and drive :) .

Drive along C-ring road from the airport. You will come to ‚Ramada junction‚traffic light signals with the Ramada hotel on your right. Turn left onto Salwa Road. Drive over the fly-over and along Salwa road. Eventually you will come to a round-about with a sign pointing towards the whole markets.

Take the third exit off the round-about. Drive along the road (whole market street), going straight ahead at the round-about by the markets, for several kilometres. Eventually you will come to a building with black railings. Turn left straight after the railings, and just before the Qatar Technical College. Follow the road round and you will come to the Qatar Distribution Company.
