Never been to Doha, but read that after the Gulf embargo, DOH airport is super empty and quiet. Did that match up with you experience? I really want to get a picture with the huge teddy bear for instagram without any people in the pic haha. Thanks!
In a word, nope. In the 8-10 times I've been through since the embargo, it has ranged from quietER to heaving, just as it always did. It (especially the lounges) has always felt very "peaky" in terms of crowds, with certain times feeling quite empty and others feeling crowded. I don't think that's changed with the embargo although perhaps the timing of the peaks is different due to the composition of the flights.

If you're patient and lucky you can possibly manage a pic without people in it, but certainly not from a distance
