All very interesting and mildly encouraging, but does anyone have the answer to the question I posed at #25, above: What in the world will immigration look like at the Doha Airport, and upon return to the various countries / airports around the Gulf? There will be passports from all over the world, some of which can be read electronically and some that can't. Also, the requirement that all passengers hold tickets to the game(s). This sounds to me like the makings of a snafu that dwarfs the recent chaos in Paris at the Champions League final. Can anyone re-assure me on this??
