Hungarian official met the foreign minister of Qatar

 

 

🇭🇺 Kövér Visits Qatar... But Where’s Our Túró Rudi and Fornetti!? 🥐

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!?


Expat Hungarians Are Suffering... Without Túró Rudi! 😩

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!


✈️ Bring Túró Rudi and Fornetti to Doha!

Make us feel that diplomacy actually delivers!

Qatari Magyarok Demand Túró Rudi & Fornetti!

“If London has it, so should Doha.”

🔥 Record Heat Hits Al Ain While Doha Stays Cooler at 42°C ☀️🌴

 


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.

Vivaldi , Candlelight - The Hungarian Quartet at MIA

 I just read about this and had to share – one of my personal favorites is coming back to Doha! 🎻 Candlelight: Featuring Vivaldi’s Four Seasons and More is happening on Thursday, May 29th and Friday, May 30th  in the Museum of Islamic Art Auditorium. If you love classical music or simply enjoy unique experiences, this one’s a must.

Imagine Vivaldi’s Four Seasons played live by the incredible Hungarian Quartet, all under the soft glow of candlelight – total magic. ✨ The venue itself is breathtaking, and the atmosphere is intimate and peaceful. It’s perfect for a couple's night, a solo treat, or a special evening with friends.

🎟️ Tickets start at QAR 250, and you can grab yours online—just don’t wait too long, these shows usually sell out fast. For Doha’s classical music lovers (and anyone needing a little beauty in their week), this is one you won’t want to miss.

A Gentle Giant Lost: Dugong's Death Highlights Marine Dangers

In cooperation with the Ministry of Municipality 🏛️, represented by Al Wakra Municipality 🏖️, a dead dugong (sea cow) 🐋 that was entangled in a fishing net 🎣 was recovered on the beach of the Old Al Wakra Market.

The specialized teams from the Ministry 🚛 transported it to the Sealine area 🏝️ to take the necessary samples 🧪 and conduct relevant scientific studies 📊 to support efforts to protect this type of marine creature 🐾. It was then buried 🪦 according to the applicable environmental procedures 🌱. The Ministry also called on fishermen 🎣 and sea-goers 🚤 not to leave abandoned nets 🪢, as they pose a danger ⚠️ to marine life 🌊 and may lead to their death 💀

What's the best time to visit the book fair?

 The 34th Doha International Book Fair is currently taking place at the Doha Exhibition and Convention Center (DECC) and will run until May 17, 2025. The fair is open daily from 9:00 AM to 10:00 PM, with Friday hours from 3:00 PM to 10:00 PM. 

To make the most of your visit, consider the following tips:

  • Weekday Mornings (Monday to Thursday, 9:00 AM – 12:00 PM): These times are typically less crowded, allowing for a more relaxed browsing experience.

  • Afternoons (1:00 PM – 4:00 PM): Ideal for attending scheduled talks, workshops, and cultural events. Check the fair's official schedule for specific event timings.

  • Evenings (after 6:00 PM): Expect larger crowds as families and working professionals visit after hours. This time is lively and offers a vibrant atmosphere.

  • Fridays (3:00 PM – 10:00 PM): Being the weekend, Fridays tend to be busier throughout the day. If you prefer a quieter experience, consider visiting earlier in the week.
