Is it safe to withdraw cash in Qatar or not?
In West Bay, I had no problem using an ATM near my hotel lobby. Qatar feels incredibly safe overall, especially for travelers, and that includes nighttime cash withdrawals from established machines.
Even outside the airport at midnight, I found an HSBC ATM that worked perfectly. No waiting, no fees with my international card, and security personnel were nearby. Felt very comfortable using it at that hour.
Used a Doha Bank ATM inside City Center Mall just before it closed. Everything was smooth, and even late, there were staff and shoppers around. Qatar’s infrastructure is modern, and banking services are highly reliable at all hours.
I withdrew cash from a QNB ATM in Souq Waqif around 10 PM. The area was lively, well-lit, and had visible security. ATM safety in Qatar at night is excellent - clean, organized, and always functional.
