Are you on drugs, since when has Qatar been a major holiday destination for Brits? It's an airport hub surrounded by desert to most travellers.

Dubai is now the most popular place for British expats to go and work outside the anglosphere. I'd say that's pretty popular.

Doha is one of the worlds most up and coming cities but I was actually referring to the heat in UAE and in particular Dubai. Temperatures are high but people still go in the summer.
I didn't realise Qatar and Dubai were the same place. Time to replace my atlas.

You refer to temperature, which is basically the same as they are veyr close to each other. Maybe you should replace you atlas after all

I was referring to Kash's claim that Qatar, aka Dubai was a major tourist destination.
"That's FIFA for you. The majority of recent world cups have been bought. Qatar had more money to throw at it than Australia. They played that game better than the competitors who all tried to buy/seduce voters. "
Sorry, but it is in no way shape or form comparable. There is a world of difference between the accusations levelled at Qatar (and what had led to the suspensions of key people on the periphery of that bid) and the actions of the Australian and English FA in terms of what is allowed in the FIFA terms of ethics.
I really don't think people have read the Sunday times report at all. If they did, they would realise FIFA hasn't got a leg to stand on at all.
Going on holiday in Qatar instead of Dubai is like going to the Dominican Republic instead of the Bahamas.
