I am searching for any negative information on Qatar?

Everything I find online makes the place sound like a resort- the most perfect safe place in the world. My EX sister in law wants to move there with her child (she works w/Exxon) and we are trying to prove that it is unsafe. PLEASE HELP!

    Sorry - I disagree.

    Why are you trying to prove that Qatar is unsafe to live. I think it is a fantastic place to live! You only need to visit it once to realize this.

    As for safety, there is no place in the world which is absolutely SAFE. Qatar is no more unsafe than any other country.

    By the way - I am in UK and have spent 3 awesome years in the Middle East and would love to go again.

    As with most of the Gulf states it is a country of less than 25% citizens and 75% workers who keep the citizens, with all the rights, rich. The demographic information below shows the great number of male workers who support there wives and families at home in other countries. Sex ratio 15-64 2.28 males/female versus US 15-64 1 male/female.

    Most North Americans and Europeans live in walled compounds for security reasons.

    According to this, Qatar has a low crime rate and incidents of violence are rare:

    Sorry, I can't find anything to prove it's unsafe. It actually sounds a heck of a lot safer than most places.
