No it does not. I was through there Saturday and the Saturday before. American traveling from USA to ATH and return with 14 hr layover airside in the airport. There was NO transit test requirement! Furthermore, Qatar Airways site, who ticket agent is the one that is going to ask you at check-in if it were the case, clearly define the small subgroup who is required to test for transit. I posted this above with the link. If you are not in the subgroup, you DO NOT need test to transit!

I'll be back through DOH this Saturday and already I can tell you the QR site has NO requirements for test to transit. I have NO INTENTION to to obtain a pre-flight PCR test, as my final destination does not require one. If this thread is still in confusion this weekend I'll post again with my direct personal experience.

I see you didn't post a reply to this - was just confirming your most recent experience? No PCR test required for Transit in DOH if your final destination does not require one, correct? Flying MLE-DOH-USA, and will be using the Binax now antigen tests to get back to the USA. We won't be taking a PCR test.
