Qatar. Una din cele mai bogate ţări din lume. Căldură mare. Aproape patruzeci de grade şi suntem abia în aprilie. Zăpuşeală peste tot. De la ora zece dimineaţa temperaturile cresc vertiginos. La prânz până la şase după-masa nu prea poţi stai pe străzi. O lume arabă superbă, plină de culoare, în care vechea civilizaţie se îmbină perfect cu clădirile futuriste.

În Qatar opulenţa este la tot pasul. Aici nu există bani monede, doar hârtii. Preţurile sunt comparabile cu cele din România. Ţigările sunt extrem de ieftine, la jumătate de preţ, de benzină nu mai vorbim. Camerele de hotel sunt imense, mâncarea este din belşug, iar pieţele (bine cunoscutele souq) sunt arhipline de tot ce vrei şi ce nu vrei. O particularitate – la ora şase se întunecă deja în Doha.
