Qatar - unvaccinated but proof of recovery?
I am an unvaccinated UK Citizen who recovered from Covid less than 6 months ago, I have my covid recovery certificate as proof. Is it true that recovered travellers are treated the same as vaccinated? Can someone please confirm if they know of anyone who has travelled to Doha and avoided quarantine using proof of recovery?

The UK government information about travel to Qatar says that if you have proof of recovery then you are considered to have immune status for 12 months. Note the requirement for a laboratory test.

If you have had a medically confirmed COVID-19 infection, acquired either in Qatar or overseas, you are considered to have immune status valid for twelve months from the date of the infection. An official and verifiable laboratory test result will be required as evidence of the past infection. For further guidance refer to the Ministry of Public Health website.

The only page you should follow for Qatar travel policy is the one published by the Ministry of Public Health, which can change regularly, so keep an eye on it.
https://covid19.moph.gov.qa/EN/trave...s/default.aspx
According to that page:
Immune-Recovered: Anyone who had a medically confirmed COVID-19 infection acquired either locally or overseas is considered to have immune status valid for twelve (12) months from the date of the infection. There should be an official and verifiable laboratory test result as evidence of the past infection.
