A few nights ago in front of Sheikh Faisal mosque in Gharrafa, I spotted an Arab guy wearing a clean white dishdash, looking very decent, loitering around. He approached me and asked for monetary help in Arabic. I pretended not to understand Arabic and he was gone. I watched him for a while and noticed he went to all the expat people in the parking lot having the more expensive cars.

Note that begging is not legal in this country as far as I know. They have plenty of charitable organizations to help genuine people. So please don't be deceived.
