Looks like two dead bodies.... accident in Industrial area... May God rest their souls.

BTW This is the 8th fatal accident i'm witnessing in this city in just under one [Mod Removed]in month!
something gotta be done MAN!

I've seen some signs along the roads where it says that the fine for spitting in the street is QR500, have anyone actually seen or heard if this is enforced or not.
It appears as if this is another rule or law which exist but is not enforced as I still see it daily as you sit and wait at traffic lights that a cardoor would pop open followed by a head and then a glob would be splattered in the street. Sickening to my stomach but fortunately I've learned to look away the moment I see a door being opened.

The beaches in Qatar are really beautiful and since I have been here see so many people enjoying them. It is great to go to the beach and cool off.

We went to Al Wakrah beach on Friday and had a great swim. My only upset was seeing dog poo on the beach. I am an animal lover and on previous occassions have enjoyed seeing dogs having a good time and cooling off in the water. This week there were no dogs on the beach when we arrived, but there were dog poos on the beach!!!

Please dog owners, enjoy taking your animals for a run and a swim on the beach, but be aware when they are leaving poos on the beach and pick them up so that we ALL can enjoy the beach.

Hi,
Just thought of some Arabic words which might be helpful.

Words:
Ghish = Cheating
Ehteyal = Fraud / Scam
Ehzar = Beware
Kazzab = Lier
Haramy = Thief
GhashShash = Cheater

Beware and stay safe :)

Within a few decades Qatar has gone from a Bedouin lifestyle to being one of the richest countries in the world. This expansion has happened so quickly that the old style of life can be seen all around, contrasted by the new hustle and bustle of a cosmopolitan city.

This video focused on a few key areas of change in culture to try and show the contrasts of life that have happened over the recent decades.

“I never saved in my life,”says Ghazi, a Qatari businessman.

Since he began working 35 years ago, he has been in debt. He owes a lot of money, not for one loan but for “three company loans and a bank loan, personal loans, car loans – three car loans”, he says.

Ghazi is not alone. Seventy-five per cent of Qatari families are in debt, most owing in excess of QR250,000 ($68,600), according to a 2011 Qatar National Development Strategy report. Some of this can be attributed to the country’s most economically disadvantaged families struggling to make ends meet, but the report gave another reason for the indebtedness: Qataris are living beyond their means, in a “prevailing culture of extravagance and conspicuous consumption”.

I lost my bag includes laptop, 2 External Hard drive, Sunglass etc. during my 20 minutes shopping in Family Food Centre at Al Nasser Street Branch. I found another 2 similar cases happened same day when i went to the police station.I found another 2 similar cases happened same day when i went to the police station.
So, Don't keep any valuable things inside the car during the parking.

Shopped there today. Very handy for me.

The firm ‘Al Million’ which has won the bid to operate private taxis in the country will launch 300 vehicles next month in the first phase, says a report in the local Arabic daily Al-Sharq.
Unlike Karwa taxis these vehicles will be maroon on the top and will display the brand name Million prominently on both sides. All administrative matters including the central control room will be managed by the firm while the Qatar transport company Mowasalat will monitor its functioning to ensure its compliance with the set terms and conditions.
In the second phase the firm will launch 200 more vehicles as stipulated in the five-year contract signed with Mowasalat.
