My flight from Qatar to Djibouti just left without me. A 45-minute layover at the airport turned into an overnight stay in the city of Doha. Let’s go explore!
Imam Muhammad bin Abdulwahhab Mosque, the national mosque of Qatar. Islam is the official religion of Qatar and local Qataris are Sunni Muslims. However, only 10% of the country’s population are Qatari citizens. The remaining 90% are foreign workers from South Asia (mostly from India, Nepal, and Bangladesh) and they are mostly Hindus or Christians. 卡塔爾國家清真寺。 伊斯蘭教是卡塔爾的官方宗教,而當地人都是遜尼派穆斯林信徒。 然而,卡塔爾人口中只有10%是公民,其餘90%都是來自南亞的外國工人(主要來自印度,尼泊爾,和孟加拉),他們大多是印度教徒或基督徒。 @Doha多哈Imam Muhammad bin Abdulwahhab Mosque, the national mosque of Qatar.

During his 18-year rule, Qatar became the richest country in the world per capita and maintained close relations with Iran. To the right is his son Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani, the current emir (King) of Qatar. Qatar has been an absolute monarchy ruled by the Al Thani family since 1825. 左邊的是卡塔爾王室成員夏默,在他執政的十八年內,卡塔爾成為世界上人均最富裕國家,並使卡塔爾與伊朗保持著密切關係。 右邊的是其兒子卡塔爾現任國王塔姆。 卡塔爾自1825年以來已是由王室家族執政的絕對君主制。 @Doha多哈Qatar is a small country in the Middle East, with its only land border with Saudi Arabia to the south. Qatar is currently the richest country in the world and has the highest per capita income, backed by its massive natural gas and oil reserves. 卡塔爾是中東一個小國,其唯一的陸地邊界就是南部的沙特阿拉伯。 卡塔爾是目前世界上最富有的國家,人均收入最高,擁有龐大的天然氣和石油儲備。 @Doha多哈Arabic is the official language of Qatar and Qatari Rial is the official currency. 阿拉伯語是卡塔爾的官方語言,而里亞爾是卡塔爾的官方貨幣。 @Doha多哈Qatari biryani meat and house hissou drink. 卡塔爾美食。 @Doha多哈Qatar Airways left me stranded in Doha but paid for my hotel. 卡塔爾航空讓我滯留在多哈,但也為我的酒店買單。 @Doha多哈
