Going to Qatar is shady for anyone (unless you’re one of their ‘guest workers’ AKA slaves).

There is basically no reason to go there except for tax evasion, helping them suppress democracy and keep their indentured servants in line, or (if ethics aren’t a big deal to you) I guess soccer.

It’s like the Cayman Islands with worse beaches, less financial regulation, and an unbearable upper class that are some of the most spoiled, lazy, abusive nouveaux riche people on the planet. Even other Arabs find them to be unbearable narcissists.

If you’re a native Qatari you literally don’t need to do anything ever - government provides healthcare, education, food subsidies, free gasoline, and servants from the cradle to the grave.
