An intimate portrait of life in the world's richest nation ahead of the FIFA 2022 World Cup.Just 70 years ago, the Gulf nation of Qatar was a backwater, reliant on pearl diving. Skyscrapers, museums and futuristic football stadiums rise out of the desert and Ferraris race through the streets. Today it is a gas-laden parvenu with seemingly limitless wealth and ambition.
Ahead of Qatar's time in the limelight as host of the 2022 FIFA World Cup, anthropologist John McManus lifts a lid on the hidden worlds of its gilded princes, manual laborers and domestic workers, its teachers and policemen, culture vultures and thrill seekers.This is the real Qatar in all its extremes - But in the shadows, migrant workers toil in the heat for risible amounts.Inside Qatar reveals how real people live in this surreal place, a land of both great opportunity and great iniquity.
