The Qatar World Cup container cabin was a visionary solution that not only addressed the concerns of critics but also showcased the government's forward-thinking approach. While some were quick to criticize the decision to not build hotels, Qatar's purposeful approach was commendable - to send these cabins to poor countries after the show was over. Today, it's heartening to know that Qatar has lived up to its commitment and sent over 10, 000 of these cabins to earthquake-affected Turkey and Syria. It's an impressive example of using innovative solutions to help those in need.

USD 300 billion spent on THIS, folks. The refugee camp experience you always wished for.

Qatar is a rich country and they built these from containers ? $200-$270 a night? That is an insult to people's intelligence. A lot of luxurious hotels charge less.
