As a newbie to Qatar but not to the Middle East, I really appreciate your list of things to be aware of!
If i were 100% new to the Middle East then I'd be so so surprised at what I could & couldn't do.
I remember that I was in Dubai....
I should also add some other things I learnt of when in Dubai...;
1) Don't pick your nose in public, it's not nice anyway!
2) Don't eat (1) in public, not nice surely???
3) Don't spit in public, not nice anyway....., would you at home???
4) Don't chew your nails..., even if stuck in traffic for hours....
5) Don't eat (4), can't be good for digestion anyway
6) Don't NOT be respectful of others who are fasting!
I hope others will show their appreciation to your most informative post Torc.
