I'm going to start driving this Friday!!! Tell me everything that's open in the a.m.!! Haven't had a car for 4 months and looking forward to some freedom, not the traffic :(

Giant at Hyatt Plaza, all the Carrefours as previously mentioned and the Family Food Centres, Dasman etc. Mostly groceries and hypermarkets and hotel brunches on Friday mornings. If you're feeling lucky, drive to Wakra and go to the beach?

Yes, all Carrefours are open, except between 11.30 and 12.00 for prayer time. Megamart is the same. Costa Coffee at the Centre is open all morning. Paul in Villagio and Landmark are also open for a lovely breakfast, closing for the hour also. I love Friday mornings (when we're not out in the sun playing hockey). Breakfast at Paul and a browse in Carrefour is the highlight of my week!

I think all of the Carrefour's are open in the morning. And a few Cafes. And the wholesale markets (Omani, plant, fruit/veg). It's a great time to start driving as the roads are very quiet - nice way to ease your way in. Saturday early mornings are also not too bad traffic-wise, and lots more things are opened.

Nothing much is open. Carrefour in City Center.
