8 Things NOT To Do in Qatar
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.
