It is forbidden to enter Qatar with alcoholic beverages, where the consumption of alcohol among its citizens or its sale in any store is not allowed. Only foreigners are allowed to drink, and in a very controlled way, which will manifest itself during the World Cup. In the same way, you cannot drink alcohol in public, let alone be found drunk.
2. Fighting or assaulting each other in the street.
It is required to maintain “respect” in public and any type of overflow or disorder is not tolerable. It is a crime to verbally or physically assault other people on public roads, and that includes typical traffic discussions. For this reason, when Argentine fans come across their Brazilian, English or other counterparts, it would be a very bad idea to insult them or use obscene gestures.
3. Mocking religion.
The holy places and symbols of Islam and of all faiths must be respected. Desecration and blasphemy are serious criminal offences. Therefore, when the time comes for Muslims to say their prayers, or when passing in front of a mosque, any mockery or improper attitude would be extremely offensive, and can lead to imprisonment.
4. Kissing and caressing in the street.
Avoid any public display of affection that may offend the local population, including kissing and caressing. You may even end up arrested.
5. Take photos of religious places or women.
Certain photos can only be taken by asking for permission or are not allowed at all. Taking pictures of mosques, military installations and local people should be avoided, especially when it comes to women. They can call the police and demand to delete them.
