🔎 Inside the thousands of £30 World Cup hotel rooms - next to an abattoir on the edge of a desert via iPaperSport Qatar2022
Welcome to this mini city, next to an abattoir, on the edge of Al Wakrah, 30 kilometres south of Doha, where supporters from all over the world have taken up residence to look after the pennies at the World Cup.
The bank balance is the real beneficiary for those staying out in this desert complex. Buses run to the airport, stadiums and to the metro station for free, 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Not great news for the Uber drivers lining the perimeter waiting for jobs. Matches between different nations take place on the football courts at night, given it is too hot to exercise out in the desert during the day. Brazil versus Argentina one night got so heated the goal post somehow got broken.
But, as is often the case with Qatar, even the most positive elements of this controversial World Cup have a downside.
