Doha feels very safe. I feel very comfortable in the city. I went for a walk on my first day here. We were in a different hotel (that is another story) down near the souqs (shops / markets). It is truly a wonderful mix of cultures. I watched as a ute with six people in it dropped a wheel as they passed through an intersection. Sparks flew and there was this sound of metal on road. They all got out in turn and inspected the damage. It appeared as if this was a regular occurrence. My initial impression of this place is an acceptance of cultures. If you accept some basic principles of Islamic living (no alcohol) then life here is good.
