Показать описание
Although Qatar may seem like a rich, ultra-modern place, it is an Islamic country and therefore has its own laws, beliefs, and customs that, to foreigners, may seem a bit, well, foreign! Here are 8 Things NOT To Do in Qatar!

1. Don't visit during Ramadan
It's not forbidden to visit Qatar during Ramadan but other things are forbidden, you can't eat or drink in public places which makes sightseeing, a hungry, and thirsty experience. All shops, Supermarkets, Coffee Shops, and Restaurants are shut during the day, so you'll probably find yourself staying at the hotel, and if you're going to do that, then why go?

2. Don't forget to hydrate!
Qatar is very hot! so always carry water with you. With temperatures regularly climbing above 110 degrees you'll need to be drinking over 2 liters a day and more if you're sightseeing or shopping.

3. Don't drink local water!
This applies to every country you'll ever visit. Different countries have different microorganisms in their water, the locals are used to them, you, however, are not! Drinking local water can cause nausea, diarrhoea, and even vomiting which is something you want to avoid, especially in tropical climates.

4. Don't take photos
Avoid taking photos of local people without permission, especially women, also avoid taking pictures of the police, Government Buildings, Industrial Plants, and military camps, as this could land you in a whole world of trouble.

5. No touching!
Don,t touch or even talk to local women in public unless you yourself are a woman or you are related or have a previous relationship, not even to ask directions.

6. Get Drunk.
Alcohol is only available in hotel restaurants and private clubs, don't drink alcoholic beverages in public and if you drink privately do not do so to excess. Qatar has zero-tolerance for Drunkenness. Alcohol is a drug and public consumption and smuggling are punishable offences.

7. Don't be rude.
Don't sit with your back to other guests or showing them the soles of your feet, never use your left hand for shaking hands or eating, and don't stare!

8. Don't rush!
Hot countries tend to be more flexible about time, so don't be offended if someone's late. also don't rush conversations, always say good morning, even if you just want to know where the restroom is, and be courteous. Rushing into business is considered to be rude and will not be well received.

I'm Qatari and I think this video is stupid and nonsense especially when you said not to talk to women it’s very fine to speak to women because they will recognize you as a tourist and will never decide to not help you. Also, it’s fine to take pictures of police only if you’re taking a picture for sudden police checks in the streets. and that is known in every country. And it’s fine to shake with the left hand we know you’re not Arab We don’t expect you to know everything or blame you on anything it’s just that we prefer another hand on the other

As a qatari, I can assure you that all of these rules are over exaggerated. You are welcome in Qatar we don’t expect anyone to know all the rules of modesty beforehand so no one will take it personally. Also most countries in the Middle East the Khaleej in particular, have the same rules so it isn’t just in Qatar. We welcome you in qatar with open arms 🤍

as a Qatari citizen, i believe that our temperatures aren't above 110 Celsius, also that taking photos OF the peninsula isn't illegal, talking to women is okay actually, like there's this one guy who is Filipino and he actually talked to my 22 y/o sister, staring is actually legal but please don't do it tourists, btw its okay to use your left hand cuz some ppl are left handed and are not good at using their right hand well so its legal

This author of the video I think has reservations in going to Qatar. I’m an expat here and I find the county nice and friendly. Temperature is hot during summer only but for the rest of the months, you’ll be fine.

This video got inspiration from some
North Korea video. I can’t agree most of the points. Qatar is a nice and peaceful country. If you are good, there’s no restrictions really. Respect local people and their culture despite wherever you are.
