Just for fun: 10 Reasons Why Qatar Sucks
1) Qataris are unintelligent/ materialistic/ ignorant/ ugly bastards. I find it fucking hilarious that such people have all this wealth, which they only use to buy the most costly of things and live in the most expensive manner.
2) Qataris are racists. They treat Indian and Filipino employees like slaves (underpayment, unjust sponsorship laws, passport seizure ... etc.) just to have more money to spend on their precious Porsches and Lamborghinis.
3) Driving in this asshole-land is horrifying. Indians, I must admit you’re a funny race with your wobbly head thing, your nasty and unearthly smell and all. But when it comes to driving, GO FUCKING LEARN HOW TO DRIVE. A blind cripple will drive better than you, fuckers. Qataris drive just as bad.
4) On a scale of 1 to 10, I give Qatar a 10, IN GAYNESS. Men there dress too neatly and walk like horny lesbians. Women on the other hand, well I can’t really say I’ve seen any. But word is that under those walking tents is some pussy.
5) Qatar is a boring ass country. I’d rather spend time in jail with a Nazi for a cellmate than living in that Dubai rip-off. Not that I have any respect for Dubai either.
6) Fuck Qatar Telecom. Those assholes provide shitty communication services and charge you like a stuck-up British whore. They also block all sites that contain pornography, controversial content or sites that attack Qatar. (Yea I bet mine will be on their list soon enough).
7) Fuck your dozen crappy malls, they do not compensate for your lack of culture.
8) Fuck your conceited community. You people actually brag about how many maids you have.
9) Hot! Too damn hot!
10) They can run over someone in the street, rape a Filipina maid .. yet get away with it.
For those who are seeking utter disgust, visit Qatar.

Hi
Hi there. I have been reading through your website and am now TERRIFIED! I am a single, female, british teacher and will be working at a school in Doha soon. Is it really that bad out there? also the school will be paying me 10,500qr per month, and my accomodation is included. Should i expect the kids and staff to be overtly racist towards me? I'm mixed race, part pakistani, part british.
teaching
as long as you are teaching in the british, canadain, or american school you should be fine.
Teaching in Qatar
Just be warned that if you are teaching Qatar's precious future leaders of this state and you don’t lower your pass standards, their parents will complain to the school you are teaching and your contract will be terminated.
Don’t come here with high hopes regarding helping the Qataris, as you will ultimately be disappointed.
Can put a hundred cases forward for you to go somewhere else teach other that Qatar, the decision is yours?
Good luck
We've just left Qatar after a total of 8 months in Qatar. QR10 500 is pittens in the first instance and secondly I would recommend that anyone who is thinking of working there drastically reconsiders. The only people who are truly happy are people working for the large international companies like Shell, ExxonMobile etc. The rest receive crappy accommodation, is treated terribly. Ther are no human right laws adhered to and have hell on earth when they decide to leave. I left my husband there alone to ensure that me and the kids were out in case he had trouble getting out. And guess what...he did!! I had two months of hell while they refused to provide an exit permit. Schools have high turn overs in teacher numbers due to this and many other issues.
THINK CAREFULLY BEFORE YOU GO.
Teachin
Hi,
I have to be honest to you. If you look brown, they will be racist towards you. I have been out here for some time, and can tell you all sorts of stories.
Mike
yes
dont ever hand over your passport to anyone, and yes they are recists
Teaching and working in Doha
1) Never give your passport up. Let them photocopy it, but don't let them keep it for more than 2 minutes for that. They pretend that its absurd that you would want to hold your own passport, and tell you its for your own protection.
2) Even if you are holding your own passport you can't leave because only your sponsor can sign your exit visa.
3) All your movement is tracked, especially if you are a woman, there is a security guard at the entrance of every residential building who logs your coming and going and , God forbid you bring a visitor to your flat! If you go to a bar you need your passport or resident card which is recorded and then your employer / sponsor is informed of your movement
4) If you are a single woman you have a huge selection of desperate men who will think you are a prostitute if you go anywhere alone
5) No way to enjoy private company with opposite sex, can't at home, can't in a hotel, make sure you know how to pleasure yourself!
It is true
Yes I worked in Qatar for 2 years...and what had been written and expressed by these disappointed expatriates who worked there are all true. Think twice and hard before you make the decision. Good Luck.
yeah i agree with what you
yeah i agree with what you are saying..al they know is to pray and pray and pray and they are good for nothing....they do not respect women at all and women has got no rights in their country....fuck that..they are just lazy filthy bastards.....i ll never step foot on that fucking country
Backward is best
If you have any experience of teaching those with learning difficulty you will find an infinite number of potential students in Qatar - especially the locals!
PS Is the Captcha there to stop Qatari's making a posting?
racism
at work you should be fine but on road, there is a lot of disgsting attitudes, both racial; being looked down on and discriminated against , and sexual; getting eye raped by all the sad lecherous lonely, desperate or rich and abusive men that make up the 99% of people wyou will encounter outside of shopping malls, work or hospitals
try and make some good mates as quick as possible, especially iof you are coming on your own
also that money is not so good; they can afford more hold out for more or look elsewhere
Qatari Citizen
I am a Qatari and I must say that our country does have problems but lets not forget it is still a developing country, it is suffering from the same problems other developed nations did when they were in our developing stage (e.g racism, towards african americans in the U.S. back then) , for gods sake my grandmother used to travel by camel 50 years ago, we'll get the problems fixed soon enough!
Qatari Citizen
U call it problems,I call it down rite evil and I will give u my reasons. You proclaim to live by what the holy quraan says...I don't think so.
Maybe not u but some of ur countryman and woman treat any expat like dirt.....ooops sorry unless u American or from the UK then it is like the sun shines out of ur ass. Believe u me they not any better than anybody else and some of them r just as brain dead as certain ppl. Y use American blacks as an example is it that u know nothing else but what u have seen on tv or is it that u worship Americans. Plz and don't tell me any different as u even have their military protecting ur waters and borders....o o don't 4get ur sky's
How dare u use ur mother as an example she had honour and respect...what does most Qataris have...care 2 answer that???
Umm, no.
Not really. You can't compare apples and oranges together. You said Qatar's going through the same developing processes as the United States had back in the days when racial tension was highly popular in that country. That's not a good example.
You want to know why?
1. When United States of America had internal racial issues between whites and blacks, the country was already developed. It wasn't a developing nation.
2. Racism between American whites and American blacks occured in the 50s and 60s. It officially died down in the 70s. America in the 50s and 60s was already a developed nation. For god's sakes, it's a freakin' superpower, for crying out loud. How can you compare that to Qatar?
3. Social attitude doesn't really represent a country's development curve. Sure, the Americans were racist and in no means am I trying to defend them. But at least they were a self-sufficient nation, on their own dependence. They were developed, economically, financially and politically. They had a strong and powerful, self-sufficient military and possessed great technology.
So racism by itself doesn't tell people of whether their nation is developed or not. Even if Qatar wasn't a racist country today, it still lacks so many things to classify it as 'developed'. I'm sure Fiji isn't a racist country but it doesn't make it developed.
While racism in Qatar is an important topic that needs to be tackled, it is rather unfortunate that racism is only a tiny fraction of the bucket-load of problems that country has. Racism would look like nothing compared to all the other problems Qatar has as a country, which is keeping you guys behind from advancing.
I apologize for hitting out on you like that but I just don't think your example made sense. Once you guys finally change the whole system, then you can start comparing yourselves to US in 1776. And that's only step one. The staircase will have another 999 steps to go.
developing country?
How long have people been living here "developing" this country? isn't 1000 years enough time to develop? 2000? qatar will still be developing in 50 years when the oil runs out and everyone else leaves. And why is qatar now developing? because the rest of the world is developing it, with oil money. The only reason to live here, is to operate oil refineries and wells for the rest of the world. Who would choose to move here otherwise? Imagine the motivation you'd have to have to move to qatar before oil and mining and such. Fun? agriculture? Space? Animal husbandry? Maybe space. lots of space. Long ago, tribes and civilizations competed fiercely for land of value, with natural resources. Successful civilizations claimed the fertile, green, pleasant parts of the world. Leaving the arid wastelands of southwest asia to desperate outcasts who couldn't compete. No suprise then, that the descendants of such people would never be able to rise above their doomed ancestors legacy of civilization FAIL. And anyway, wouldn't you treat everyone terrible if you had to be born here? what better way to make yourself feel better about being an evolutionary nobody, than to put everyone else down. Thank goodness for oil money. Everyone knows that if you have money, never mind from where or how earned, that you're worth something. right? celebrities? Paris Hilton? Well... I'm sure they're behavior will be rewarded only with stiff condemnation from the rest of the world. Lord knows the USA or any one else would rather hold a puny country of no consequence morally or otherwise accountable for its actions than maintain a cheap easy oil supply. Right? ...hmm.
Because they can't undersand
normal thinking...aka C.U.N.T Wouldn't be a problem if they semi gave a shit, but it's not worth the effort explaining why they shouldn't be dickheads towards everybody. Waste of fucking time. Make the whole area a glass parking lot and let's start all over..
racism
Having not visited Qatar I cannot tell if what you say is true or not. However, one of your biggest issues would seem to be that you consider Qataris as racists. Yet you publish the disgustingly racist view that
" Indians...admit you’re a funny race with your wobbly head thing, your nasty and unearthly smell and all" and in so dong would seem to prove yourself as ignorant and inbred as those who you criticize. I suggest that you put your own house in order first as such sentiments are disgusting and disgraceful.
To the teacher willing to
To the teacher willing to relocate!!!!
If you do not have to pay anything for accomodation and utilities bill, and you being single, I believe 10500QR although not a very good amount should be enough for you. It equals about £1700. Now if you would want to either rent a car or get a new one, that would cost you around 2000QR a month on average and that is including the cost of petrol. Your groceries bill would be almost same as in the UK.
I dont know how much teachers get paid here but then the salary is taxable. There you dont have no tax to pay. About racism and derogatory remarks, honestly speaking depends man, Qataris dont even talk to other nationalities, how the hell would they act racistly against others. Atleast that's what I have seen.
I do not know much about exit entry permit thing.
From my experience I can say that after your car, fone and groceries, u would still be able to save atleast 3000-3500QR if your accomodation and utilities are paid for.
If you have any specific questions, post here and I would be happy to answer.
South African woman jailed for 10 days in Doha.
A South African woman in Doha was arrested on the scene when she hit an Indian pedestrian who had to be hospitalized.The woman was jailed for 10 days before her case went to a small court, she had to pay 2000 riyal to get bail and now has to wait for another court date when her sentence will be served.Her husband tried getting help from the South African embassy and with no help was told to seek legal advice.This is just one of the cases that shows you how their system works and that there is really no true support system for expats,you are on your own!
fuck this place
qatar sucks were at al udeid air force base and this country sucks ass, people spit on you at the malls, and god damn they stink.
I spent quite some time in
I spent quite some time in Qatar and I hated it!
I went there without any prejudice towards arabs/qataris but after some time I got to hate them!
If you are european or american (at least white colored) you get treated as a second-class person. Lucky you! If you are indian, pakistani, sri-lankan, etc, you are nothing.
You have to accept being treated like shit, you have to accept that you wife is being disturbed by arab men, you have to accept (as female) that locals will chase you and follow you home, you have to accept that you have no rights and you have to accept that if you complain you get imprisoned.
I saw the labor camps in Ras Laffan, Messaid and Doha and I saw how foreign labor is being treated every day!
They have this funny "zero-accident-policy" at the construction sites and in order to maintain zero-accidents they simply dump the injured ones or dead over the fence or drive them out so they can claim it didn't happen on site and don't have to pay. Thats just one example!
All the fancy skyscrapers and expensive cars cannot cover what is going on in that shitty country! It might look impressive to tourists or stupid expads who only want to see their fancy homes, offices and shopping malls. What's pissing me off personally is the fact that the westerners (together with indians, pakistanis, etc.) are building their country and in return they are treating us like shit! I'd strongly recommend to any qatari to think about where you were 30 yrs ago. You were still living in tents and fucking your camels! I hope I will see the day when you run out of gas or you econmy collapses and you get kicked back to where you come from!
the way I see it is that the
the way I see it is that the country will be in serious trouble sooner or later, no income tax and full of people with no real allegiance to the country.
Qatar fucking sucks.
I COMPLETELY AGREE. Qatar is the most horrible country on earth. I advise everyone to NEVER ever go there. It will drive you mad!

We have decided to call them Qatardi's as not to disrespect some people.
to be true
Qataris are not humans at all, except a handfull for the rest all male are looking for a white skin to fuck and when they dont find any one in despration they rape philipino male or young kids playing in the streets and there female are fucking there drivers, and very frankly one driver is hitting the sister the wife the daughter and in some cases even the aunties of the male basterds. this is the fact not the bullshit, I have seen it myself.

Instead of insulting people, we should try to understand. Some Qataris are just lost, they are victims of modern society who were given all these material things, and they have been blinded. They are now far away from their origins, from God. Maybe someone wanted this to happen???
