New Middle East? There is (probably) an entrance for Israelis Israel today

After the Israelis stormed Dubai and Abu Dhabi following the Abrahamic agreements, will the World Cup make quite a few of you recognize another exotic country that until today was closed to Israelis?

The World Cup in Qatar will begin in exactly one year, and Israeli tourists who are equipped with tickets to the games should receive a permit to enter the country, which usually does not allow Israeli citizens to enter its territory.

Although there is still no official permit to enter the intriguing country, nor is it clear how this entry will be arranged in the end, but if you happen to have tickets in hand, we checked what awaits tourists in one of the richest countries in the world.

Not just the Waqf market

Let's start with the airline: Qatar Airways did not fly to Israel and not many Israelis flew through it, even though it is considered one of the best airlines in the world.

One of the easiest ways to get to Qatar would be in its national company through a third country.

The airline's pampering first classes have much more than a flat bed, fine alcohol and the highest level of food - Qatar Airways crews have picked up quite a few titles in the world's top rankings in recent years, and flying with the company is considered a special experience you will not soon forget.

And what is there in the tourism sector in one of the richest countries in the world?

One of the leading attractions is the Waqif Market, where you will find, among other things, cafes, restaurants and various shops.

Qatar is not attractive to tourists like Dubai or Abu Dhabi, but you can also find beautiful beaches and shopping malls offering the most recognizable brands in the world.

Tourists will have alcohol

The largest and leading hotel chains in the world will offer you to stay in the capital city of Doha at relatively affordable prices and at a very high level.

The supply of hotels in the rich country is very wide and includes quite a few luxury hotels, unsurprisingly.

An issue that concerns many fans ahead of the event is the issue of drinking alcohol in the conservative Muslim country, where drinking liquor in public is prohibited by law.

In this regard, the organizers have already promised to set up dedicated complexes for fans across the country.

The capital of Qatar is Doha, and the country has less than three million inhabitants - only about ten percent are local citizens, and the rest are foreign workers.

Qatar is located between Bahrain and the United Arab Emirates, but there are no land borders between the countries.

The country's only land border is with Saudi Arabia.

In terms of the cost of living in the country, it is lower than in Israel compared to transportation, restaurants and even shopping.

So if you love football, take the opportunity to get to know a new and special country.
