Men in Qatar can marry four wives, water is more expensive than oil, and the per capita income is more than $130,000, and the small country is full of wealthy people, who only need to work three hours a day, but there is a risk of being singled.
The hottest topic in these days is the "World Cup", which is known as the most "trench" World Cup, and the host country Qatar has spent a total of 229 billion US dollars, equivalent to 1 yuan, since it won the right to host it in 201063 trillion yuan, this figure is really jaw-dropping, you must know that the total investment in the previous seven World Cups is about more than 40 billion US dollars.
Take a look at what Qatar has done to prepare for the 2022 World CupIt spent hundreds of billions of dollars and spent 10 years to build a city of Lusail in the desert.
I have to say that Qatar is really very rich, how is this small country, let's find out together today.
Qatar's GDP per capita in 2021 is about $68,000, a statistic that includes all permanent residents of the country, that is, foreign workers. If only local Qatari citizens are counted, the per capita income of Qatar can reach 130,000 US dollars, equivalent to more than 1 million yuan.
The reason why Qatar is so rich is because it is very rich in oil and gas resources.
Qatar ranks third in the world in terms of natural gas reserves and 14th in the world in terms of ** reserves, with proven reserves of about 25.2 billion barrels, accounting for about 15％。
As the saying goes, Qatar continues to develop oil and gas resources and export oil and gas, and its natural gas and oil exports account for about 80% of its total exports.
A wealthy Qatari once complained to reporters about his daughter: "She is so lazy that she hardly works every day, but I am very diligent, I have to work hard for 3 hours a day." ”
As soon as this remark came out, people realized that in the eyes of the rich, working 3 hours a day can be regarded as diligence, which makes those who are troubled by the "996" work system embarrassed
Because Qatar is very wealthy, the welfare package of citizens there is very good, and even if you don't do anything, you can receive a grant of several thousand dollars a month from **.
If you plan to get married and have children, you can apply to ** to get housing and land. Education and medical care are also free of charge. Not only that, but local businesses and citizens don't have to pay any taxes.
Men in Qatar are happy because polygamy is practiced there, and men can marry up to 4 wives at the same time.
In Qatar, the status of men is very high, and the status of women is low, many people think that women should be dependent on men, and women can only go out with their husbands accompanied by their headscarves, and they cannot talk to people on the street.
Qatar has a population of about 2.6 million, but only about 300,000 of them are local citizens, and the rest are all laborers from India, Nepal, Bangladesh, the Philippines and other countries.
Qatari citizens hardly have to work, because they hire foreign workers to do most of the work, and these workers have a heavy workload and a poor living environment, with a salary of about 3,000-5,000 yuan.
Therefore, Qatar is "half sea and half flame", the rich are at ease every day, but the migrant workers can only struggle to make a living.
One of the great pleasures of local tyrants is to buy all kinds of luxury cars, in the streets of Qatar, you can see all kinds of luxury cars, Mercedes-Benz, BMW is nothing there.
Local tyrants don't have to worry about gas at all when they drive luxury cars, because gasoline there is very cheap, only about 2-3 yuan per liter of oil.
Compared to petrol, water in Qatar is expensive. Most of Qatar is covered by desert, which has a tropical desert climate with maximum temperatures of around 45 degrees Celsius, but the average annual precipitation is only 752 mm.
Water is especially prized in the extremely arid Qatar region, where an ordinary bottle of mineral water costs about 8 yuan.
In order to solve the problem of drinking water, Qatar has actively researched seawater desalination technology and achieved good results.
Qatar is not only expensive water, but also very high in vegetables and fruits, because the local environment is not suitable for growing vegetables and fruits, and most of Qatar's vegetables and fruits rely on imports.
Despite Qatar's wealth and prosperity, there is one problem that has remained unresolved: the serious imbalance between men and women.
The ratio of men to women in Qatar has reached 19 to 1, in this case, although the law allows a man to marry up to four wives, many men are at risk of being singled.
For many fans, drinking some wine while watching the World Cup can be described as a great joy in life, but fans who go to Qatar should pay attention to the fact that the wine there cannot be sold at will, only some high-end restaurants and hotels have the right to sell alcohol, and the ** of wine there is particularly high, and the price of an ordinary beer can reach 70 yuan.
Of course, the daily life of the rich is to buy and buy, so there are all kinds of shopping malls in the cartel, where all kinds of luxury stores are gathered for the local tycoons to spend.
The cartel was particularly hospitable, and yesterday a fan in Tehran met the son of an sheikh on the streets of Qatar and the two had a good conversation, and the sheikh's son immediately invited the fan to his home.
But when you go to a Qatari home, you should pay attention to it, don't praise each other's personal belongings casually, because there is a local custom, others praise your things, out of politeness, you have to give this item to the other party, and it is really "arrogant"!But as the saying goes, "a gentleman doesn't take people's love", people send you, and you don't necessarily have to be embarrassed to ask for it, after all, it is useless, so it is better to be cautious in words and deeds!
Qatar's wealthy people love special pets, the son of the sheikh who invited fans to his home likes to play with lions, and many people like falcons.
In the eyes of the Qataris, the eagle is not only brave but also particularly loyal, so they have a good impression of the eagle, they will spend a lot of money to buy the eagle cub, a good eagle young eagle ** can be as high as 20,000 US dollars, and then the local tyrant will hire a falcon trainer to train the eagle, and after a period of training, the owner will take the eagle to participate in various competitions, they will also take the eagle when they fly, of course, the eagle must also buy a ticket.
Qataris don't like to eat pork, and they don't eat ugly creatures like crabs, but they do eat fish and shrimp.
Qataris love to eat date rice, which is made with dates, raisins, pine nuts and rice, and tastes very good.
Qataris like to eat braised broad beans for breakfast, which are made with broad beans, garlic and olive oil, and are stewed until soft and then sprinkled with chili peppers and olive oil.
There is also a kind of chickpea, which is white in appearance and resembles an eagle's beak at the top, which can be eaten as a puree to supplement protein, and they will dip some hummus in flatbread, bread, naan or carrots and celery.
This is Qatar, a rich Middle Eastern country, what do you think of it?
