The Qatari Riyal is the only currency accepted in the country, although you can use credit cards pretty much anywhere apart from the smallest market stalls.
ATMs will dispense cash for UK Visa and Cirrus cards, although the charges can be quite high, and often the best way to get local currency is by using traveller's cheques and shopping around for the best exchange rate.
Bargaining is expected in market places, and can be taken pretty seriously by some people, although the locals prefer you to take it easy, and enjoy the whole thing rather than forcing the price into the ground.
At the more touristy hotels in Doha, tipping is increasingly expected, and 10% is appropriate where no service charge is already on the bill.
