Several new tourist facilities will open in Qatar ahead of the start of the 2022 FIFA World Cup, Travel Daily Media reports.
The Qatari authorities expect more than a million fans to come to the country in November for the World Cup, so the country is preparing to show the world its hidden treasures and showcase its tourism potential.
“There is very little time left before the start of the World Cup, and many world-class attractions are expected to open before the matches begin. We hope that guests of the country who come to the tournament will be amazed by the new tourism developments in Qatar, which will significantly increase the attractiveness of the country. There are new beaches for those who are looking for sun, sea, and sand, theme parks and water sports hotels for the adventurous, and many new resorts, spas, and restaurants for guests looking for a more relaxing holiday,” said Qatar Tourism COO Berthold Trenkel.
