Escape from Qatar: Qatar (Inc) Survival Guide
About this audiobook
All eyes were on Qatar for the 2022 FIFA World Cup. Having lived there for 5 years, I have presented the reality of the situation in Qatar with research and current examples.
It is almost like an X-ray of Qatar. From the air to the water, from the way people are educated to the way they are cured. The story of a country that looks beautiful on the outside, but where deception is hiding just beneath the surface… a country that is ornate on the outside but rusty on the inside.
The case of Qatar through personal experiences, research, and current examples...
When you realize the true face of this flashy country that has spent more money on the FIFA 2022 World Cup than all the money spent to date, you will want to escape, hence the title 'Escape from Qatar.’
This book is also a survival guide full of tips, -some sad, some funny, for those who want to visit or live in Qatar.
From the pen of journalist, educator, and writer Atilla Yusuf Guleker, who has been declared the 'imam of Qatar' by the Turkish media...
