Qatar 2022 – Accommodation Differences

Posted 28 November 2022

We were lucky enough to have a few days on the brand new MSC Europa (aka HMS WAG) moored up in Doha. A $1b ship 333m long and 47m wide capable of 7,000 passengers and 2,000 crew. Using energy cells and LNG too!

Meanwhile the “Clusters” for £35 a night – very basic but clean, free Wifi and air con. A little city on the desert really – holding thousands of football fans with shops, cafes and a football pitch still competitive at 2am!

Qatar 2022 and a clash with the start of the Ski Season!

Posted 5 November 2022

*Bluetooth activated tickets once again*

So a Winter World Cup, lots of controversy and a very different event with nearly all the fans staying in the same city. As usual the press predict a disaster (like South Africa, Brazil and Russia) but as we get nearer accommodation and flights are becoming easier to obtain (and cheaper), entry rules are being relaxed, fan parks will serve alcohol after all, public transport is free for the whole tournament (Metro running every 3 minutes at peak times until 3am) and the legendary Dubai Friday Brunch/Drunch is a thing in Doha too…

We’re sure the La Tania crew will have a great time whatever the football is like (as usual)!
