Expat found after being lost in Industrial Area for 3 days

Expat found after being lost in Industrial Area for 3 days

A British expat who claims to have been lost in Doha's Industrial Area for 3 days is now safely back in West Bay, according to reports.

The man, who calls himself Cutter Gai and says he is from Cornwall, was guided out of the maze by an Egyptian driver after he lost track of time while trying to find a specific street to have his vehicle repaired.

Gai said that the ordeal started when he got lost in a big pothole - he was able to drive himself out using his Land Rover's 4x4 capability for the first time.

He complained about the traffic, heat and the size of the potholes. When asked why he didn't stop to ask for directions, Gai explained that he was unaware that other people actually work in the area.

It is still unclear where he found food and water during his 3 days there, if he just drove around trying to find his way out. 

When asked about toilet facilities, Gai just blushed and turned bright red.

Have you visited the Industrial Area in the past few days? If you spotted Cutter Gai there, please share more info.

Hahaha. The British guy must have brought with him plenty of foods and drinks that lasts for 3 days. Does it mean "no taking shower for 3 days"?
