morningdelight thanks for the correction just checked, it is one month and not 14 days costing QR100 as I had assumed, still not long as the Qatari or other nationalities get when arriving in the Uk, straight forward visa for 6 months.
Secondly British tourism industry relies much more on US tourist rather than the middleastern tourist. As the US tourist travel around the UK and spend far more than the 3% of tourist from the ME who only concentrate on a small part of London spending money on the stores which they partly own and are they are entiled to claim back the VAT on departure.
Not saying they do not spend, but definitely are not the the overall top spending tourists.
