Fun facts about Qatar

In preparation for my trip, I have discovered a couple of relatively useless but nonetheless entertaining facts about Qatar:

1. The national carrier Qatar Airways allows you to buy liquor on its planes but does not allow you to bring it into the country so you end up drunk even before you set foot.

2. It's probably a good thing that I haven't yet been fortunate enough to visit Israel, because if I had an Israeli stamp in my passport, I would not be allowed to enter Qatar.

3. Under a section called, "Annoyances" on a website about Qatar, it reads: "There are really very little annoyances in Qatar besides the heat in the summer, which many people enjoy."


Good to know!
