Show respect and be polite

決定赴卡塔爾觀看世界杯足球賽的觀眾最好深入了解其國情和風俗習慣。卡塔爾是伊斯蘭國家，其傳統有別于西方社會。因此，請閱讀本指南，知曉當地居民的習俗，避免出現意外。要清楚自己到達卡塔爾歡度世界杯時可能遇到哪些情形。

尊敬他人、彬彬有禮

如果想問卡塔爾人一些事情，別按照西方的習慣直來直去。先打個招呼，從大眾話題聊起。阿拉伯人很看重這點。如果連“早上好”都不說就直接進門，會讓人覺得有失禮貌。要微笑地說“色蘭”（“安塞倆目阿萊依庫姆”的簡略說法，進入一個地方時說這句話，意思是“愿安寧降臨于你們”）。“舒克蘭”就是謝謝。談論家庭和孩子沒問題，但盡量別談論宗教、政治和對方的妻子。批評埃米爾（卡塔爾君主）甚至可能導致你入獄。你還有必要知道，卡塔爾是禁止同性戀的。

Forget the western directness if you want to ask Qatari something.Say hello and start small talk1small talk沒有明確實際目的的閑聊。about general matters.That is important to Arabs.It is experienced as rude if you just fall into the house without saying at least ‘good morning’.Smile and say ‘Salam’ (from Assalaam Alaykum, meaning: “peace be upon you” when you enter a place).“Shukran” is thank you.Talking about family and children is fine, but try to avoid religion, politics and his wife.You can even go to jail for criticizing the Emir.It is also good to know that homosexuality is prohibited in Qatar.

Dress code

Qatar is an Islamic country with a conservative dress code.Qatari men wear traditional white robes, ladies long abaya2某些穆斯林婦女穿的長及地面的衣物，遮蓋除頭、手、腳之外的身體其他部位。.You don’t have to wear a veil as a female tourist, but don’t go too naked on the street.Preferably no bare (upper) arms, but especially shoulders and knees, should be covered.That also applies to men.Loose pants, skirts below the knee and t-shirts are acceptable for women.Avoid shorts or skirts that are too short, low-cut tops, bare shoulders,and sheer and transparent clothing.

著裝規范

卡塔爾是一個著裝規范保守的伊斯蘭國家。卡塔爾男子身穿傳統的白袍，女子身穿長袍。女游客不一定要戴面紗，但在街上時，衣著不可過于暴露。盡量別裸露手臂（上臂），尤其不應該露肩或露膝。這點也適用于男性。女士可以穿闊腿褲、過膝裙和T恤衫，避免穿超短褲、超短裙、低胸上衣、露肩裝和透明裝。

Enjoy your stay the Qatar way

享受卡塔爾特色之旅

享受陽光燦爛的日子，欣賞日落的美景吧。多哈有許多漂亮的酒店，入住后，白天可以在其中的游泳池或健身中心里放松身心。維拉吉奧等商場大得驚人，可以在其中購物。還可以盡情享受卡塔爾的夜生活，因為卡塔爾是世界上最安全的地方之一。盛夏和齋月期間，多哈只有到了日落時分才會熱鬧起來。一直到凌晨，多哈城里都看得到人。不要指望俱樂部里有酒和唱片騎師（盡管有這樣的俱樂部），更值得期待的是一些燈光璀璨、有噴泉表演的大道（如濱海大道），以及可供闔家歡聚的節慶場所。

Enjoy sun-filled days and beautiful sunsets.In the many beautiful hotels in Doha, you can relax during the day by the pool or fitness centre.You can shop in incredible great shopping malls like Villaggio.Also, enjoy the evenings in Qatar as it is one of the safest places in the world.During the hot summer and during Ramadan, Doha only comes alive when the sunsets.You see people in the city until the early hours.Don’t expect clubs with alcohol and DJs (although there are), but more beautifully lit boulevards with fountain shows (the Corniche3即Doha Corniche多哈濱海大道，多哈灣旁的月牙形步道，長7公里，系當地著名景點。) and festival-like areas where families gather.

Hydrate and drink enough water

Drink plenty of water in addition to other beverages.Deep yellow urine is a sign of dehydration.At temperatures above 40°C, you should drink at least two litres per day.If you go into the desert on your own, bring plenty of food and drink and make sure you have a spare tire and cables if something happens.Furthermore, it is doable: thin clothes and don’t worry too much.Apply a high factor sunscreen to all exposed skin all year round.Don’t forget to rub your feet if you wear sandals or flip flops.

足量攝入水分

要喝大量的水和其他飲料。尿液呈深黃色是脫水的標志。溫度高于40攝氏度時，每天至少應該喝兩升水。如果獨自進入沙漠，要帶足食物和飲料，并確保有備用輪胎和繩索，以防萬一。此外，也不妨穿輕薄的衣服，不必過于擔心。在所有暴露在外的皮膚上，一年到頭都要涂抹防曬指數高的防曬霜。如果穿涼鞋或人字拖，別忘了在腳上擦防曬霜。

Be grateful.Accept coffee and tea

During a meeting with a Qatari, tea or coffee is always drunk.The first cup that is offered to you should always be politely accepted.After the first cup, you can indicate that you do not want any more.More than three cups of tea or coffee are often seen by Qatari as eager.

要心存感激。接受所敬的咖啡和茶

與卡塔爾人會面時，總會喝些茶或咖啡。應禮貌接受敬給你的第一杯。一杯過后，你可以示意自己不想再喝了。卡塔爾人通常認為，喝茶或咖啡超過三杯的人很熱誠。

Don’t do’s in Qatar—The real No, No’s

在卡塔爾禁止做的事情——真的是“嚴禁”

禁止凝視！這在卡塔爾是無禮之舉

無論你覺得卡塔爾人的衣服或面孔多么迷人，都不要凝視。在一個必須衣著莊重、行為謹慎的社會中，起碼要遵守這項通用的禮儀。卡塔爾人感覺凝視是一種侮辱。

Don’t stare! It is unpolite in Qatar

However fascinating you may find the Qatari’s clothes or pretty faces,don’t stare.This general politeness is fundamental in a society where modesty in dress and behaviour is mandatory.Staring feels like an insult to Qatari.

Don’t just talk to the opposite sex

As a man, do not ask Qatari women for information.Please respect that some Arab women do not want or are not allowed to talk to men.They are more willing to help other women, so let the women do the talking4do the talking負責出面說話，引申為掌控話題、主導局面。! If you do business with an Arab woman, let the woman take the initiative before shaking her hand.Don’t be offended when a woman refuses.

Don’t just take pictures

Use your camera as little as possible.Don’t take pictures of people without asking their permission first.Women and the elderly should not be captured in a sensitive place.Also, be careful when photographing police officers,military personnel and public buildings.

Don’t get drunk

Qatar follows the Shariah Law,which means that you cannot bring alcohol, pornography, pork and drugs into the country.Drinking alcohol is illegal in Qatar.Only five-star hotels have licenses to sell alcohol.You can quickly pay ten to fifteen euros for a beer there.There is a zero-tolerance policy for driving under the influence, drunkenness and violent behaviour.

禁止隨意和異性交談

男子不要向卡塔爾女子詢問信息。一些阿拉伯女子不愿意或沒有得到允許與男子交談，請尊重這一點。女士們更樂于互幫互助，所以讓女士先開口吧！如果與阿拉伯女子做生意，要等對方主動伸手之后再與她握手。如果女士拒絕交談，別生氣。

禁止隨意拍照

盡可能少用相機。沒有事先征得他人同意，請勿對其拍照。不得在敏感處所拍攝女子和老人。拍攝警察、軍人和公共建筑時也要小心。

禁止酗酒

卡塔爾遵循伊斯蘭教法，這意味著不能攜帶酒、色情物品、豬肉和毒品入境。飲酒在卡塔爾是違法的。只有五星級酒店才有酒類經營許可證。在那里花10到15歐元，就很快能買到一杯啤酒。卡塔爾對醉駕、酗酒和暴力耍酒瘋采取零容忍政策。
