Shame on all world leaders for not doing enough to help innocent children being slaughtered by the evil Israeli army! If this kind of inhumanity happened in UK or USA this would never have been allowed! God damn you all inshallah

Qatar Airways has no plans to halt its growth despite the economic conditions. While regional competitor Emirates reports an 88% drop in profits, Qatar's national airline is showing no voluntary signs of slowing down its expansion, with new flights to Houston starting next month. Their expansion plans may, however, be hindered by delays in the delivery of 30 Boeing Dreamlines. With plunging real

There can be little doubt that Qatar is a major polluter.City lights blaze out from high rise buildings 24 hours a day 7 days a week 52 weeks a year, electricity and water for Qataris is free and  petrol costs 20 cents a litre. Qataris favourite hobby is charging up and down sand dunes in giant SUVs that people in other parts of the world are increasingly unable to afford. Yet, at the same time,

Hotel rooms in Qatar could grow by 400% by 2012 if Qatar Tourism and Exhibition Authority plans come to fruition.Current plans see 29,000 hotel rooms available by 2012 with a total investment of seventeen billion dollars over a five year period. The number of hotel rooms is then seen as rising to 80,000 in 2016.According to the Peninsula and Zawya.com, which ran the story today, the authority is t

The full effect of the credit crunch on internet advertising in Qatar has yet to be gauged.Broadly speaking, though, there are two predictions of how internet advertising will be affected. One is that in a downturn online advertising will be adversely affected in line with standard advertising.The other argues that, as internet advertising offers better reach, value and targeting, spend on interne

Companies can take a number of different options if they wish to set up a business in Qatar. However, for those looking to invest in Qatar for the long term, with the exceptions of certain industries, it will be difficult to avoid the 51-49% rule. This refers to the establishment of a local joint-venture company, in which a Qatar partner must own a minimum of 51% of the share capital of the compa

Despite falls of up to 50% in property prices in some areas of Doha, massive developments currently coming online, predicted falls in rents and a global drying up of credit, property developers in Qatar are upbeat, at least according to an article in the Peninsula today. Company director of The Land, Hussain Fakhri, at the launch of luxury tower Porto Vista, stated that Qatar's 'fast growing ec

In many countries you need to get to know the locals with the local power and influence - with, as they say here, Wasta.

Knowing people with Wasta can help in all areas of life, from getting a traffic accident dealt with quickly to pulling off a business deal or leaving the country after an exit permit
