Qatar also has a strict “no drinking in public” law; moreover, the country prohibits anyone from being publicly intoxicated.

Public affection between men and women is also a crime, and one is not to wear excessively revealing clothing in public.

The World Cup is football’s global celebration, but the rules in Qatar could be very strict.

A police source was quoted in the British press saying that “sex is not the order of the day unless you come as a couple.”
