Qatar (and likely others who do this kind of labor system) designates most parts of Doha as family zones. This restricts the non citizens (employed bachelors) to ghettos set up for the migrants, which they are pretty much confined to outside of work.

There is at least in Qatar (and very likely other gulf states) zoning laws that restrict where the totally not slaves can live. The authorities don't want foreigners with any kind of money seeing these people. In the case of Qatar, there is a special zone for these people which the government is quietly liquidating, due to coming scrutiny from outside.

Reply to The Supreme Court Actually Understands the Internet by rejs7
They don't, but they do understand money, and interested parties like Google have lots of it. They've donated heavily to the federalist society and I'd be shocked if they didn't have money closer to the court given how many undisclosed conflicts of interest keep coming up.
