60 calls at the same time


the emergency number in Qatar is 999
 they get on average of 60 calls  at the same time
this is the number one has to call in case of medical emergency /fire /crime /accident might happen 
Qatar is such a multicultural place that the operators have to deal with these languages daily :
Arabic, English, French, Chinese, Filipino, Urdu

 I am really surprised reading this  - I thought that the number of Chinese residents in Qatar is very low  but hindi /malayalam /tamil is a must at 999 call center

While I was away from Qatar two important things happened in July .

1. There was an earthquake with the epicenter around 300 km from Doha .It was 5.8 .
It seems to me that very few people noticed that at all .

2 .All telephone numbers changed into 8 digit numbers in a way that you have to add the first digit one more time ... for example if you call karwa then in stead of 458 8888 you have to use 4458 8888 .
  Both landline and mobile phones changed this way .

Perhaps you need a new business card then with this change !:) Here is one of my bestseller:
