The capital of Qatar is the dynamic city of Doha, which is a celebration of the country’s past and exciting future. Eighty percent of the nation’s population lives in Doha. In addition, all of the host stadiums are within a 35-mile radius from the city of Doha.
FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022 is setting the precedent in many ways. It's the first football World Cup to be held in a Middle Eastern country and is the first time it will be held in the northern hemisphere's winter.
While Qatar has relaxed some rules for the duration of the football World Cup, there are some things to keep in mind while packing for your trip, so as to not offend the locals.
For example, if a drinker is reported to cops for “offending” someone, they would likely be charged with public drunkenness.
Guzzling booze in public spaces is also banned and could result in a six-month prison sentence or a hefty fine.
Lashes have also been dished out for people found drinking alcohol.
