Long connections at DOH.
Follow Arrival at DOH. (Disembarking) until you reach the departure area.
Once in the departure area there are a large number of things to entertain you.
QR have given me accommodation what do I do?
If you are already in the departure area then you have missed the transfer desks and need to go back through security to them. See STPC What do I do for details.
What lounges are available?
lounges at HIA contains details of the lounges available to you. The link contains the latest updated lounge details but a very brief summary is given here.
Al Safwa - Is for QR and OW First Class passengers only. You may use the lounge if you are departing DOH in F or arriving in longhaul F.
Al Mourjan - Is for QR and OW Business Class passengers only. You may use the lounge if you are departing DOH in J or arriving in longhaul J.

Business Class lounge - Is for Privilege Club Gold and Silver and Oneworld Sapphire status passengers traveling in Y.
Oryx lounge - Is a lounge that anyone can use on payment of QAR 200 (approximately USD 55).
Longhaul is defined as any flight with a scheduled flighttime of five hours or longer.
What about shopping and food?
There are numerous retail and food outlets. Most are open 24 hours every day. These are mostly collected together around the South and North nodes of the airport with some dotted around in other places. See airport maps for downloadable maps of shops and food outlets.
Can I leave the airport?
Yes. There are several ways of doing this.
If you take the free City bus tour then you will be provided with a free tourist visa for the tour.
You can apply for a free tourist visa up to 30 days prior to your requiring it and make your own tour of Doha.
For a number of countries you can purchase a visa on arrival and make your own tour. Look at diy doha night tour for one suggestion for a tour at night.
What about resting at the airport?
There is an airside Airport Hotel and there are relaxation/rest rooms in Al Safwa and Al Mourjan lounges .
There are supposed to be several quiet areas and communal relaxation areas with recliners in the airport. The best one is apparently quite well hidden behind a childrens play area somewhere in Wing C.

Please come with comments, suggestions etc. Together we can make this future Wiki in the About DOH airport structure an invaluable tool for those that need it.

Certain arriving flights do not need to clear security. LHR and BKK are two examples I can confirm (other can add more). When clearing security, there are middle lanes (not well sign posted) for Premium Passengers. These cut you to the front of the queue.

roadwarriorafrica the list of flights exempted security checks varies from day to day. Taking msm2000uks recent comment as a basis I would estimate that about 30% of LHR arrivals go through security checks. Probably a similar number from BKK.
If you wish to continue this discussion I will ask the moderators to move these posts to a more suitable thread.

3544quebec yes a list of hotels would be of help to some. Do you have any suggestions or are you looking for information?
Just because it is complimentary does not mean that hotel guests do not pay for it. For example over room rates.

When I stayed at the W, I had not booked any type of transfer. However, I found the W Doha rep at the airport, and he paid a taxi driver in cash to take me to the hotel (I had no local currency and didn't need any). The fare was added to my bill (with a 15% service charge). I thought that that was excellent service, above and beyond. ^
