I am set to leave in tomorrow to go on my trip to visit the country of Qatar. I have done some research and this is some background information that I think I will find useful.
$1722 Round-trip Airfare
They have hot Summers (Around 100 degrees), but the weather towards the winter gets cooler and comfortable. However, they do have high humidity.
95% of Population practices Islam. It is the Wahhabi/Salafi variation of the Sunni religion. This is also what Saudi Arabia's population believes in.
Arabic is National language, but English is widely spoken so I should be able to comfortably make my way around and interact with locals.
The population is a mix of Arabs, Pakistanis, Indians, Iranians.
Fun Fact: Qatar is scheduled to host the 2022 FIFA World Cup. Who knew?
I will be attempting to avoid my connections back home throughout the trip so I can be fully engaged in learning all about Qatar while I'm there. So it is likely that I will not be reporting back to this blog until my return. But no need to worry, I will have a great detailed report of what I saw and what I learned!
