tallg, "perhaps they should have thought of that a few years ago.".. Few years ago there were neither women in Doha, nor night clubs.. :):) Literally! I came here first time almost 4 years ago.. It was absolutely obviously: there were very few expat girls in Doha, especially the western and asian ones...and all of them were following "unwritten rule" to dress modestly. But while women's presence in qatar was growing, more and more girls started abusing this dress code. So now it is a right time to get back to status quo,and to remind the expats: you ARE in muslim country, you ARE temporary here, it is NOT your home, so please make sure you are following local rules and traditions... well.. what can i say? they ARE right..
and by the way, as per my imression, qatar never intended to develop tourism as much as Dubai...
