Need to information about the currency, exchange rates, and customary tipping? Here you go!

Tipping:
It is not a rule to tip although many people do tip. Many restaurants already charge a 12% service charge to your meal, however not all do. Depending on the place I go to and the level of service, I would generally give 5 Qatari Riyals.

Finding Money:
If you find money and cannot find the owner and have attempted to return it, Qatar has a nice tradition, if you donate 25% to charity, you can keep the rest :)

The Currency:
The Notes are called Riyals and the coins are called Dirhams. Yes, currency comes in a rainbow of colours ^_^y

The notes come in denominations of 1, 5, 10, 50, 100, and 500
The coins come in denominations of 1, 5, 10, 25, 50

FACT: Qatar and Dubai used to share their own currency in 1966 until 1973 (that's when Dubai joined the Emirates).
