1) He may not like too many men around his area, or compound.
2) Bachelors are not allowed to share accomodation with couples. (I may be mistaken - correct me if I am wrong.) Unless they are proven brothers of the couple.
3) Let me give you an example of ourselves. We were a family of 7 people, (mum, dad, sister and we four brothers) we had a qatari family across our villa, we had a garden, and we being boys would play around in the garden with vest and short pants, sometimes only with shorts (Garden being part of the enclosed villa). My dad was in private business, so we had visitors quite often, (different nationalities). The qatari family did not like it and complained to the owner (landlord) that we were walking around nude and had many visitors. The landlord informed us the same and my mother explained that the boys were in the house or garden and why were the neighbours looking over there wall and ours to see what we were doing, and also if we have visitors of different nationalities, that was our business as long as we were not disturbing any one else.
The landlord told us to be careful of them as they were mutavas and the authorities would take their word over his and ours. After about 3 years we had to vacate the place as our house was raided twice in the span of one year by the CID and police in plain clothes. Embarrasingly, dad was put behind bars during the last raid, as he was at home and they found alchol (even though dad had a permit). When Dad was in jail, we informed his sponsor who happens to be an Al Thani, but the police denied that he was in lock up. Being an Al Thani, he would not go to the police or CID, only through phone calls. Final he sent one of his PR guys and identified dad and got him released.
This happened about 10 to 8 years ago, times change but people????
I am not saying Qatari's are bad, some of them have very strong belief's, and this is their land. And some are the best people on earth ( I shall elobrate some other time on the last sentence).
My belief.... treat others as you would expect others to treat you.
The neighbour being a Qatari,
1) He may not like too many men around his area, or compound.
2) Bachelors are not allowed to share accomodation with couples. (I may be mistaken - correct me if I am wrong.) Unless they are proven brothers of the couple.
