Aspire Summer Camp 2025!
Running from July 13 to August 7, this lively summer program is packed with engaging activities and valuable experiences.
Open to boys and girls in the following age groups:
• Group 1: Ages 6–8
• Group 2: Ages 9–12
📍 Location: Eastern Square, Souq Waqif (air-conditioned tent)
📆 Dates: June 25 – July 1, 2025
⏰ Time: Daily from 4:00 PM to 9:00 PM (extended to 10:00 PM on official holidays)
This exhibition showcases premium Bangladeshi mangoes and mango-based products— entrance is offered free of charge, perfect for sampling and buying.
I had a confirmed flight booked for June 24, and when I arrived at the airport for check-in, I was immediately struck by the number of delayed flights — many by 4–5 hours 😟. Still, I didn’t expect our flight to be affected.
Our flight was listed on the departure boards — but no gate number was shown 🛑. That was upsetting. In such a huge airport 🏢, not knowing where to go . It left us feeling lost. From time to time, we saw passengers rushing toward newly announced gates , which often changed last minute 🔁. Since we were heading to Europe and most European flights seemed to depart from Area C, we settled there.
Luckily, the area was comfortable and well air-conditioned ❄️. We waited patiently 🧘, had a light lunch 🍴, thinking we'd soon enjoy the in-flight meal. Around us, people sat or slept on chairs, benches, even on the floor 😴 — everyone was clearly exhausted but disciplined.
After almost five hours, our gate number finally appeared ⏳. We began boarding pass checks... and then everything stopped ⛔. We were told the flight had been cancelled and advised to return home 🏠.
At that point, all I wanted was to stretch out in my own bed and sleep. Even getting out of the airport wasn’t easy 🚶♀️➡️. In total, we had spent around 10 hours inside.
We didn’t receive our checked luggage — they told us it would be sent once we confirm a new flight 📦✈️. Still, I must say the airport staff were kind and professional . They handed out free bottled water and chocolate 💧🍫, and when I tried to pay for food at the court, they said it was free of charge .
I don’t blame the airline. They handled a very tough situation with grace. I blame the warmongers who caused this regional crisis 🌍💥, impacting tens of thousands of travelers like us.
Following one of the most complex aviation disruptions in recent history due to regional airspace closures, Qatar Airways responded with swift and large-scale action. Within just 24 hours, the airline successfully reaccommodated tens of thousands of affected passengers and stabilized its flight network.
More than 20,000 affected passengers from approximately 90 diverted flights were rebooked within 24 hours
At Hamad International Airport, over 10,000 passengers were already in transit when the disruption began
Over 151 flights were immediately disrupted
The number of passengers in transit surged to over 22,000 by 05:00 local time
4,600 customers were provided hotel accommodation, utilizing approximately 3,200 rooms across Doha
Over 35,000 meals were distributed to affected travelers
On Tuesday, 24 June, Qatar Airways operated a total of 390 flights
All 20,000 diverted passengers were cleared within 24 hours
More than 11,000 resumed their journeys during the morning wave on 24 June
The remainder departed during the evening wave and morning bank on 25 June
Qatar Airways confirms reinstatement of flights as airspace reopens in the State of Qatar.

Our focus at this time is to help our passengers return home or reach their onward journey safely and smoothly.

Some embassies in Qatar issued a warning to shelter or stay at home, but the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MOFA) in Qatar says there's no special threat .
The National Network for Radiological Monitoring and Early Warning in the country has confirmed that no abnormal radiation levels have been detected in the air or regional waters of the State of Qatar.
The network’s land and marine stations, which are distributed across various regions, monitor and measure radiation levels continuously, and they issue early warnings in the event of any abnormal increase in radiation.
The Ministry urges citizens and residents to obtain information only from official sources.

Living in Qatar means stepping into a rich blend of languages and cultures — and sooner or later, most expats start picking up Arabic expressions that are just too useful (or fun) to resist. Some become so natural, they slip into English conversations without anyone noticing. Here are 10 Arabic words and phrases that expats in Qatar love to use !
Short, energetic, and perfect for any situation.
Example: "Yalla, we’re going to be late for iftar!"
The ultimate filler word — vague but versatile.
Example: "The traffic was crazy, yani, we barely made it."
Used affectionately or even sarcastically among friends.
Example: "Relax, habibi, everything’s fine!"
Often used when making future plans — sometimes sincerely, sometimes ironically.
Example: "I’ll submit the report by Monday… inshallah."
Perfect when you’re wrapping something up or setting a boundary.
Example: "No more sweets for you. Khalas!"
Adds seriousness, surprise, or passion to any statement.
Example: "Wallah, that shawarma was the best I’ve ever had!"
Command form, used all the time when pointing something out.
Example: "Shoof this video, it's hilarious!"
A friendly, laid-back way to say everything’s okay.
Example: "You forgot the file? Mafi mushkila, I’ll resend it."
Common in Gulf Arabic, it’s short and easy to use.
Example: "How’s everything?" – "Zain, zain."
A punchy, satisfying alternative to "yes."
Example: "You coming for karak?" – "Aiwa!"
These little words do more than bridge languages — they bring people closer. Whether you're a fresh arrival or a long-time expat, using local phrases like yalla and mafi mushkila is a sign you’re not just living in Qatar — you're living with Qatar.

As a Hungarian, I can’t help but wonder:
Why is Hungary’s Speaker of Parliament, László Kövér, visiting Qatar and meeting with the Qatari Prime Minister and Foreign Minister?
💼 Was it about energy? LNG deals from Qatar?
💸 Tourism and investment?
🗺️ Or global issues like Palestine, migration, and Islamophobia in Europe?
Well, great. Important stuff.
But here’s the real diplomatic tragedy:
Political big shots keep flying in and out, shaking hands and posing for the cameras — yet somehow, no Túró Rudi or Fornetti makes it through customs!?
There are thousands of Hungarians living in Qatar and across the Gulf. And two humble items could bring instant joy to their souls:
🇭🇺 1. Túró Rudi
That sweet curd filling wrapped in chocolate — it’s not a snack, it’s an identity.
Airfreight it. Refrigerate it. Just get it here.
🥐 2. Fornetti
Those divine, flaky, mini pastries that whisper home.
Qatar loves bakeries. One little Hungarian corner in Lulu or Carrefour wouldn’t hurt!
Make us feel that diplomacy actually delivers!
Qatari Magyarok Demand Túró Rudi & Fornetti!
“If London has it, so should Doha.”
You got it! 🏖️ Here's the ultimate “Cool Me Down” drink menu — a mix of fast, fresh, and funky options for when the heat is clinging like your clothes after a sauna walk. 😅👕🔥

Ingredients:
½ cup sparkling water

Optional: 1 tsp honey for a sweeter sip 🍯
Ice + a cheeky paper umbrella if you’re fancy 🌂
Tastes like: A hammock between two palm trees 🥥😌

Ingredients:
¾ cup of any 100% fruit juice (grape, apple, pomegranate)
¼ cup cold water
Pinch of salt
A few ice cubes
Splash of lemon if it’s too sweet 🍋
Tastes like: Fast fix, fruity punch to the face (in a good way!) 🥊🍇

Always add a pinch of salt after sweating a lot — helps replenish electrolytes 💪
Serve your drink in a frozen mug ❄️🍺
Add a joke on the glass with a marker like:
🥤 “If I melt, call for backup.”
After walking in the heat, your body needs quick hydration, electrolyte replacement, and cooling refreshment. Here are some quick and easy homemade drinks to help with that . Great natural alternatives to commercial sports drinks, which often have too much sugar and artificial additives !
1 glass of cold water (250–300 ml)
A pinch of salt (sea salt or Himalayan is best)
1–2 teaspoons of honey or sugar
Juice of half a lemon or lime
Optional: a few mint leaves or a splash of orange juice
Mix everything in a glass.
Stir well until the honey/sugar and salt dissolve.
Add ice cubes if you want it colder.
Sip slowly — not all at once — to allow better absorption.
Cucumber Mint Water
Slice half a cucumber + a few mint leaves + cold water + optional lemon slices.
Let it sit for a few minutes — very refreshing and anti-inflammatory.
Or you might prefer something fruity, spicy, or caffeine-free!
Ingredients:

1 tsp honey or sugar
A pinch of salt 🧂 (yes, trust the science!)

1/2 cup cold plain water
Juice of half a lime or lemon
1 tsp honey or sugar
Tiny pinch of salt
Few slices of cucumber or mint leaves
Ice cubes for drama 🧊
Directions:
Stir gently (don’t kill the bubbles), clink your glass like royalty, and sip like you’ve never been sweaty 😌👑
Add ginger powder or a sliver of fresh ginger if you want a spicy kick 🥵🌶️ (but only if you're bold like that)
Serve in your fanciest glass — because hydration deserves style 💅

While the ancient oasis town of Al Ain in the United Arab Emirates was boiling over with a record-breaking 🔥 51.6°C on Saturday, 🌆 Doha managed to keep its cool — relatively speaking — at 🌡️ 42°C.
🌴 Al Ain, famous for its lush palm groves and rugged 🏞️ Hajar Mountains, is typically a place to escape the heat. Locals often head for the hills to cool down in higher altitudes like Jebel Hafeet. But this kind of scorching temperature is out of the ordinary for May — a real wake-up call for what summer may bring.
Meanwhile, in Doha, though the mercury rose, the heat didn’t quite hit the roof. The 9-degree difference between the two cities shows how heatwaves can strike differently across the region, even within the same desert climate.
