- The work week is Sunday to Thursday, they go to "church" on Friday AM
- Friday is family day at the shopping malls, they do not let single Arab men into the mall then
- You never see Arab men and women holding hands, usually the women walk behind the men
- You cannot make a left turn, at all intersections there are traffic circles or U turns are allowed, so you go past where you want to go, turn around and make a right turn
- There are wild camels in the desert, you have to watch for them crossing the road, like we do deer in Ohio
- 90% of Qatari live in the capital city of Doha
- Highest income per person in the world
- Not unusual to see several old small shops next to a Porsche or Lexus dealer
- Gas is fixed at $1 per liter (think this is close to $2 per gallon)
- There are people from 35 different countries working at the plan I am at, mostly from Ghana, Africa and the Philippines.
