I too have heard that its a matter of policy to restrict alcohol outlets to 4 and 5 star hotels.
Its certainly NOT related to Ramadan, as some here suggest, because its not Ramadan yet.
As to "Because we are a Muslim Country" dont we tollerate other religions and cultures too ?
We are building new hotels and have a stated policy to develope the tourist industry. Moves such as this, and the closure or all bars at lunch (until 5pm) are a very negative move for the tourist industry and in fact indicate that Qatar is becoming more and more removed from the standards of the rest of the world.
