Bear in mind that during the day it will be difficult to find food and beverages because of fasting during Ramadan. After sundown no issue with getting food and beverages (non alcoholic). This caveat does not apply airside at the airport....

WRT my previous contribution... there is an article in the local paper quoting the Qatar Foreign Minister..

http://www.gulf-times.com/story/5523...-Foreign-Minis

The following words from this long article underscore what severaal of us are saying..

He added that HH the Emir "directed us to have a strategic programme" for Qatar so that it is not affected by any measures that might be taken by regional countries and to "work to be self-reliant in providing basic resources so that life would go by normally for citizens and residents."

Daily life and projects in Qatar will not be affected, he said, stressing that Qatar designed its programmes and took such steps in order to independently achieve its vision regardless of any political pressures.

HE Sheikh Mohamed also said there are "inaccurate statements" regarding the closure of airspace and land and marine siege, adding that the only measure that might affect movement is the closure of borders but maritime and air paths are international paths to provide daily life needs and life will go on normally.
