However, the hotel bar will not serve alcohol and you will not be able to purchase it anywhere else in Doha. It doors seem like Dubai allows it.
You shouldn't feel uncomfortable in a hotel but if you venture out and you smoke, drink water or eat in public then someone may make you feel extremely uncomfortable. This also applies to cloths. Ladies should not show their shoulders our knees in pubic during Ramadan. Again this is in Doha, sounds like Dubai and barhain may be more lax.
This is precisely my point: we were out and about all week, at restaurants, the mall, etc... and did not encounter problems. We always covered our knees and shoulders - but we would have dressed this way whether it was Ramadan or not.
