Qatar launches a website to get cheap accommodation during the World Cup

The Arab country plans to receive more than 1,000,000 people during the 28 days of the competition and signed accommodation agreements to guarantee affordable prices that are an option against the high rates of the large hotel chains.

On the digital portal (qatar2022.qa/book) four different kinds of accommodation will be offered: 3-star hotels, cruise ships anchored in the Arabian Gulf, temporary rental apartments and the so-called “fan towns”, which consist of camps in the middle of the desert.

The organization will make some 130,000 rooms available. An apartment with basic services (wifi and cleaning) will cost around $84 per day and the ships – two fully booked cruises – will offer options starting at $340 per day.

“It is important that fans visit the accommodation portal after booking their tickets. There will be other ways to book their accommodation, but if they want the cheapest options, that is where they can find them. We have learned from past events. We know there have been increases in hosting prices in previous tournaments to take advantage of fans who have already bought tickets. And this is something we want to avoid at this World Cup in Qatar,” said the head of the Organizing Committee, Nasser Al Khater, in a statement.
