What is Doha Airport like for a single 17-year-old female?

I am a 17-year-old girl, flying from the UK to Doha by myself to then fly from Doha to Perth also on my own. I have a layover of 1 hour and 20 minutes. How easy is Doha airport to navigate to get to a connecting flight? Is it safe? Is there anything I should know?

Thanks.

Best Answer

Doha Airport is a very safe and clean place. You will see signs everywhere for direction and it is a delightful place to be. I have travelled through their Airport many times and I like it a lot. Also your layover time should be enough, i have never waited more than 15 minutes for the security check.

Just to add a source, they ranked 5th best Airport on SKYTRAX which you can see on there own website.
