Qatar Travel and Return Policy -update - only 11 green list countries

 There  are only 11 green list countries  = arriving  from there - you need no  hotel  quarantine .

 They  are : 1 Australia  2 Canada 3 Croatia 4 Czechia 5 Germany  6 Hungary  7 Latvia  8 New Zealand  9 Poland  10 Romania 11 Slovakia

As of 23 August 2021

________________

Arriving  from the rest of the  world  you might need  hotel  quarantine for different periods of time .

Travelling  home from Qatar and  returning is still  very risky  financial  step . Your country  might be on the green list  when  you leave  and it can turn into yellow  or red  when you  wish to return .  Then  you need to go to the hotel quarantine  which is not  cheap at all .   Also you have to pay for the PCR tests  .  In case travelling  with  your  family  you might pay  more  for these  Covid19extra  costs   than for all your vacation  .

That  is really  frustrating .

 Before  deciding about  your  travel  from Qatar or to Qatar - please  study well  the conditions .

 There different  rules for residents /citizens /GCC residents /tourists - vaccinated -non vaccinated -green list -yellow -red list countries .

 And  the rules are changing every two weeks .

You might not have heard about her during your school years . At least this is the case for me . The contribution of  medieval Muslim  scientists  to the   European  science  is often ignored .Or if it  could not be ignored  it had been pretended  it was  of the Western culture . That was the case of Ibn Sīnā  the Persian  who got a Spanish name " Avicenna " in Europe to cover the fact of his Persian origin . He wrote the most important medical  book of his age and it was impossible to ignore  his works .

The Library will be closed on Fridays. To check out books, you must submit a hold request in advance, as the shelving tiers are closed. Librarians will prepare the books for you to pick up.  Only patrons with a green status on the Ehteraz app will be allowed access. Your temperature will also be checked at entry. You are required to wear a face mask at all times. People over the age of 60 will be allowed into the Library only if they have the gold frame on their Ehteraz app. DVDs, CDs, iPads, headphones, chargers or other items will not be available.

Patrons can return the items manually at the bins installed at the main entrance of the Library anytime without the need of any appointment, or at the User Services Desk (with an appointment in this case, to be allowed into the building). Photocopying and printing machines are available to users who already have their own printing cards. The Library will not sell printing cards at this time.

Ibn al-Haytham’s work was remarkable for its emphasis on proof and evidence. Here is an example of why he has a stronger claim to the title of “father of the scientific method” than either Francis Bacon or René Descartes👇 pic.twitter.com/xBqW18VMJR

Numbers in Qatar - 90 thousand baby Hamour released

 The Gulf Cooperation Council keeps fishery records on the fish caught in their territorial waters. Of the estimated 540 species of fish in the Persian Gulf,^[2] 11 different species are commonly referred to as Hamour. In records kept by the state of Qatar, there is a clear indication that the amount of "Hamour" being caught is rapidly declining, and has dropped sharply since 2008. The decline of the culturally important and prized hamour fish prompted Qatar to start a program to farm the fish species, focusing on the most highly valued Epinephelus coioides. Yet the same states keep record on a "Hamour Group", roughly relating to the catch-all phrase "Grouper". This includes the Brown spotted reef cod, known in the Persian Gulf states as "Souman", but also as "Hammour".^[

In collaboration with the Protection & Wildlife Department, the Fisheries Department has released 90,000 baby hamours, weighing around 2g, from a number of incubation sites to Qatari waters. The incubation sites are managed by the Aquatic Life Research Center. #MME #Qatar pic.twitter.com/KEuFQTWc6e

Updated travel policy to Qatar - family visitors and tourists allowed

  This is a  big change  !  Last year  at this time  even  residents of Qatar needed special permission to return .

 It was a great problem .  I knew a mother  who visiting  her ill mom in Hungary   could not return  months though she had a   five  year  old  in Qatar  desperately in need of her  mom ,

  Hearing  about  her case  I gave   up  the plan to  visit my own  seriously ill mom ,  That was the darkest thing in  Covid -19 in Qatar .    But I had my own kids in need of  me .    My mother  passed away  and  we could not  even say good-bye . Even my siblings living in the same town   with her ,  There was a lockdown  and simply nobody  was allowed  to visit  her .

 No one should  consider  things like that  You or ill mom or  your kids !

 Let's hope  that  those dark times won't return .   For   that  we should fully  understand  what really  happened  in the world .

 Returning  is still  complicated .  Depending if you are vaccinated or not  - you are coming  from green list  country  or not . You might need  home quarantine or hotel  quarantine ,

 There is a chart  on the  home page of the  Ministry of Public Health  . It will explain  the conditions under  that you  can  come  to Qatar .

Georgia -the most popular travel destination for Qatary citizens and residents in 2021

    Why ?

•      Weather in Tbilisi is minimum 10 C  less  than in Qatar
•      Qatari citizens and  residents  do not need visa  to enter the  country
•      Open  for fully vaccinated  citizens and  residents  -no quarantine 
•      Non-vaccinated  visitors also  can enter without  quarantine  - they need to show  one negative PCR  test  before  and after arrival

  I think  this country  is  great  if you are planning   to escape  the  Qatari summer , you wish to  refresh  and  wish  to experience  rural  lifestyle .The bad news is  that returning to Qatar  without being vaccinated and  from a non Green List  country is still complicated . Anyway ! Good luck to Georgia and  the tourism !

🇬🇪Reachable in just three hours, #Georgia is already one of the most popular #holiday #destinations for #travellers from #Qatar. And how could it not be, with stunning #ski #resorts and #hiking routes that are a breath of fresh air for Dohaites. https://t.co/1K0ey9f0A6
