    5)Most customers believe that in Doha International Airport passengers don't need to be worried at all. Security was quick and easy with efficient staff.Transit processing very quick and in good way. However,Few people believe that there are a limited number of entertainment facility at the airport. From my point of view I think that doha airport is worth 4/5 ranking.

    Some people think that the Doha airport is a five star hotel. For instance, the airport is not very big; it will be easy to check-in quickly. On the other hand, some passengers thing that it is too crowded while checking-in, these people give 3-4 stars to Doha International Airport.
