⚠️ LGBTQ+ Safety Notice — HIGH RISK

Same-sex activity is criminalised — discretion essential

Local law: Penal Code — up to 7 years prison; Sharia death penalty theoretical.

Safety guidance for visitors →

Do not disclose your orientation to hotel staff, drivers, or guides.
Avoid public displays of affection of any kind.
Do not use LGBTQ+ dating apps — police entrapment via apps is documented. If you must, install a VPN before arrival.
Avoid carrying LGBTQ+ identifiers (flags, books, screenshots) in luggage.
Phone searches at airports can include checks for LGBTQ+ content — delete sensitive chats/photos before crossing borders.
If travelling with a same-sex partner, present yourselves as "friends" or "colleagues"; book separate hotel rooms for safety.
Use Signal or Wire for sensitive messaging — not WhatsApp.
Keep emergency cash (USD/EUR) and two separate payment cards.
Stay at international-chain hotels (Hilton, Marriott, Hyatt) — they rarely interrogate guest arrangements.
Register with your embassy on arrival — consular help may be limited.
Share a daily check-in with someone trusted abroad.

Sobre este lugar The Tunnel Lounge & Club Doha

The Tunnel Lounge & Club is an LGBTQ+ venue located in the heart of Doha, situated on the first floor of the Best Western Plus hotel on Al Safiliya Street. As one of the gay bars and clubs in San Juan, Qatar, it provides a dedicated space for LGBTQ+ travellers and locals to socialise and enjoy an evening out. Doha's LGBTQ+ scene is relatively modest compared to larger international hubs, so venues like this play an important role in providing community spaces where visitors can connect with others and feel welcome. Being located within a hotel property offers convenience for those staying nearby and adds a level of accessibility to the venue. The lounge and club format suggests a flexible atmosphere where guests can enjoy both relaxed conversation and dancing, depending on the evening and their mood. When visiting, keep in mind that Qatar's cultural context differs from many Western destinations, and travellers should familiarise themselves with local customs and laws before arrival. This venue represents an important gathering place for LGBTQ+ people in the region. For the most current information about opening hours, events, and any entry requirements, it's worth contacting the venue directly or checking with local LGBTQ+ travel resources before your visit.
