Well we’re planning a bit of an outing and we thought it’d be nice for all you ILQers to come and meet each other.

Of course if it’s your first time, don’t worry, we’re a friendly bunch!

I’m planning next Wednesday 25th (or Thursday 26th) at 7:30 at Souq Wagif. Come and enjoy some nice traditional food and a fresh juice.

Oh and it’s all on ILQ! So leave your wallets at home!

    Hi, I’m an 8 day newby to Qatar. I’m staying near the Ramada – how far is this from the Souq Wagif?

  • Kei

    Nothing in Doha is really that far. Souq Waqif is close to the Central Bank and the corniche.

    You’d have to take a taxi from Ramada because it’s definately not walking distance.

    I just discovered your blog. Is there a Daily Photo blog in Qatar? I want to see a blog with pictures of Doha and your country. Kind regards from EAGAN daily photo in Minnesota, USA

Freedom of Expression

    Article 19 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights which the Qatari Government is a signatory of states: Everyone has the right to freedom of opinion and expression; this right includes freedom to hold opinions without interference and to seek, receive and impart information and ideas through any medias and regardless of any frontiers.

    The Emiri Decision Number 86 of the year 2007 on the establishment of the Doha Free Information Centre marked yet another step towards establishing a State of rights and freedom of speech. The decision stipulated that the Centre be a non-profit organization, headquartered in Doha City, and have the authority to establish other affiliated centres inside and outside Qatar. It is worth mentioning that His Highness the Emir issued a decision in 1998 annulling the ministry of information, giving birth to a new era of freedom of speech where censorship was removed from local media.
