The State of Qatar

Qatar is a sovereign Arab emirate, located in Western Asia, occupying the small Qatar Peninsula on the northeasterly coast of the much larger Arabian Peninsula. Its sole land border is with Saudi Arabia to the south, with the rest of its territory surrounded by the Persian Gulf. A strait in the Persian Gulf separates Qatar from the nearby island kingdom of Bahrain. Arabic is the official language of Qatar, with Qatari Arabic as the local dialects. English is also widely spoken, and is considered to be a rising lingua franca, especially in commerce. Reflecting the multicultural make-up of the country, many other languages are also spoken, including Hindi, Malayalam, Urdu, Tamil, Nepali and Tagalog. Before the discovery of oil, Qatar was noted mainly for sea trade and pearl hunting. Nowadays it is known for having the world's third largest natural gas reserves and oil reserves in excess of 25 billion barrels, which has fuelled Qatar to become the world's richest country per capita and achieve the highest human development in the Arab World. In order to promote tourism, Qatar has invested billions into improving infrastructure. It held the 2006 Asian Games and will be the host of the 2022 FIFA World Cup, becoming the first Arab country to host either of the events.

About Qatar

. The nation celebrates December 18 every year as Qatar National Day to commemorate Qatar’s independence from Britain. Some of its other annual national holidays are Qatar National Sport Day celebrated on the second Tuesday of February. As it is primarily an Islamic country, Eid Al Fitr and Eid Al Adha are widely celebrated every year too. All of these festivals and events are celebrated throughout the country in a very grand manner. . World-renowned architect I M Pei designed the Museum of Islamic Art in Doha, with its magnificent geometric architecture. It was opened in 2008 and its building is a blend of both Islamic and modern architectural styles. . Although Qatar is originally a desert, it has a diverse range of flora and fauna. Purple Island is an example of this. Located in 40km from Doha near the township of Al Khor, Purple Island is a fish-shaped island dotted with several low limestone cliffs throughout it and a mangrove forest that has a range of fish, shellfish as well as birds, including pink flamingoes which transit through Qatar during their seasonal migration. Every winter, traditional camel races are held in Al Shahaniya, which are not to be missed. . Officially, weekends in Qatar fall on Fridays. Most stores are usually closed on Friday mornings until the Jumu’ah afternoon prayer. Most stores and other places begin to open for business around 13:30. . When in Doha, dress modestly as a sign of respect to local customs and culture. Both women and men should refrain from wearing clothes that go above their knees and women should preferably cover their arms. Men and women should avoid social intimacy at public places. . The summer in Doha is usually quite harsh with temperatures flaring up to 50 degrees Celsius. Most people like staying indoors but evenings are slightly cooler. With sunscreen, a hat on and by keeping yourself constantly hydrated when outdoors, you should be fine. However, winters are much cooler and although the nights can get a little chilly, it is the perfect season to sit outdoors, enjoy camping and a BBQ at the beach or at the desert, or sit outdoors at the city’s many parks and enjoy a picnic or people watching. . Karak tea is one of the most popular beverages among local and expatriate residents alike in Qatar. A number of eateries serve this delicious, milky tea, which is infused with cardamom and ginger in some places. Some popular places that serve Karak and have even served variations of this are Tea Time and Chapati & Karak (in Katara Cultural Village). If you’re feeling peckish, a number of small Lebanese outlets serving shawarma (for the meat- eaters) or falafel (for the vegetarians or vegans) are easy grab-and-go options.

If you intend to have guest in common areas, be aware that you may be subject to disciplinary action because of their behavior. It is each resident’s responsibility to inform their guest of university and residence hall policies. Residents are responsible for the conduct of their guest they bring into the residence halls.

It is the resident’s responsibility of taking care of items provided in the room. Any damage should be reported immediately to camp office for possible rectification. No furniture should be removed from the room. Alterations to any residence hall property and/or the semi-permanent installation of residents’ personal property are prohibited. This includes nailing fixtures to walls, floors, ceilings, or furniture; drilling holes; or affixing decals. Please take care when using aerosols in your room e.g. air fresheners. Because of the sensitive nature of the smoke detectors the fire alarms may be triggered. All rooms are provided with a bed, bed sheets, duvet and pillows.

Anybody found cooking, smoking or conducting activities that seriously endanger the lives of other residents may be asked to leave the camp.

Noise levels When living in a residence hall community, residents must be aware of their noise level and demonstrate respect for those around them. Community members are encouraged to ask others to be considerate and adjust their noise levels at any time.

Responsibility for Loss of Personal Property Care is taken to protect personal property in the Labor Camp, but the Camp cannot assume responsibility or loss or damage to such property through fire, theft, or any other cause. It is the responsibility of each resident to ensure that his/her personal property is secure. We recommend that measures are taken to ensure that valuables, i.e. money etc. are either hidden from view or locked away.

Personal Abuse The residence halls are intended to be communities where the individuality of all residents and their rights to make personal choices are respected, so long as those choices do not interfere with the rights of others. In protection of these rights and responsibilities, residents may not engage in personal abuse, written or oral, directed against other residents, guests or Staff. Residents must also respect the personal property and assigned space of other members who live in the Labor Camp.

THINK SAFETY, ACT SAFELY

Safety It is important to remember that although there is no need to be wearing personal protective equipment in the Camp environment we should still be mindful of ensuring safety at all times.

Fire & Muster Points Fire extinguishers and fire hoses are mounted outside in every cluster for emergency use only. Possession of flammable, combustible or smoldering items is not permitted in the camp. This includes but is not limited to, candles, fuels, incense. The fire alarm system and firefighting equipment are for everyone’s protection. Tampering with firefighting equipment or setting off a false alarm (general or local) not only makes the system ineffectual, but also endangers the lives of residents. Thus, tampering with, removal of, or misuse of fire extinguishers, fire alarms, smoke detectors (including batteries), fire evacuation route instructions, sprinklers, other firefighting equipment, or exit signs is prohibited by both Labor Camp policy and state law.
