Enjoyed the quite roads over the past few weeks? That is going to change - people are coming back!

-------------------------------------------

As the Eid holiday comes to a close, tens of thousands of residents traveling abroad are making their way back to Qatar.

Speaking to Doha News, a spokesman at the Doha International Airport said some 45,000 people are flying into the DIA this weekend, and 50,000 more are expected next weekend.

The numbers were not categorized into residents and tourists, but earlier this month, some 250,000 passengers were estimated to have left for Eid holidays.

And because the public sector officially returns to work tomorrow, much of the incoming traffic is expected to be comprised of people who call Doha home.

Qatar usually consider these are tourist coming to visit their country...

When they leave for holidays abroad... qatar considers them as tourist who left Qatar after their holidays...

Is someone forcing these people to come back? Give them a week and they will be complaining how bad and racist Qatar is!
