How Qatar Turned A Desert To A Megacity To Host The World Cup

[@aymezemouri2942]

the safest city in the world ..There is no harassment of women and no thefts ..and this safety will not be reached by any European country now or in the future

[@masterhummus2114]

@@user-nm6od9mf5t I don't think so. They have got the largest natural gas reserves in the world. With multiple contracts in hand with Europe and asian countries, and promising outlook of natural gas prices in near future, qatar defaulting looks highly unlikely atleast for now. Just recently moody outlook has rated it "AAA", meaning the economy is heading in a stable and positive direction.

[@brivvy]

Can Qatar be the next Dubai? Or will there just be dozens of empty, rotting buildings that were built for one event?

[@scoobydoobeedoowhereareyou123]

Why not? I'm from Singapore and we started off as a rural backwater a small fishing village after Malaysia separated with Singapore. We don't have natural resources and in the early 1980s Malaysia currency is higher than Singapore. Thank goodness we have a great leader that lead Singapore to what it is today. Qatar have abundance of oil and gas and they have more money to spend on development. In no time they will be on par with Dubai. Even Qatar airways is voted a the best airline and Singapore airline is rated second.
