Many immigrant workers in Qatar would dream of such luxury... And it's a well known fact Qatar funds terrorism. So please don't call it ignorance. And I think it's well known that Qatar is filthy rich thanks to oil. I watch the Tour of Qatar (cycling) yearly. If they aren't riding on long straight roads in the desert, they're riding through fancy modern cities. Too bad you almost never see any people watching the race on the streets or the side of the road lol. It does feel like a very empty country based on that alone. I'm curious, do you know who Tom Boonen is? |
Actually you're right about that. The majority of the population's in the smaller gulf countries like Qatar, UAE, and Kuwait are made up of migrant workers who live and work in the worst conditions. And those countries are still very behind in things like press freedom, where anything reported or even discussed against their rulers gets people arrested and thrown in jail. They may have wealth, and may build modern cities, but they are no where near being developed countries.
As compared to the other Gulf countries, Qatar and Bahrain are very small. Qatar is a country made up of 1 big city which is Doha, where more than 90% of the population live. When you have such a small country, it's understandable why it feels quite empty.
