Planning to visit Qatar for the upcoming FIFA World Cup in November 2022? Here is what you should know.

The gathering stage highlights 32 groups with games across 12 days when Qatar expects 559,000 flying in with a pinnacle of 276,000 ticket holders around Nov. 27 and 28, requiring a desired 128,000 rooms - more than the country's whole lodging availability for fans.

As per the specialists, accommodation will be crucial for the visitors, but Qatar has a broad range of options to host thousands of attendees in 2022. It includes hotels, apartments, villas, desert camps, and rooms aboard cruise ships.

Visitors will have a chance to stay in downtown Doha or choose to stay by the incredible sandy beaches. Whatever one may choose, everything is within easy reach. People will have the possibility to attend more than one match a day as the stadiums are only a short distance. 

Qatar has announced that approximately 90,000 rooms are available for the fans to book via https://hospitality.fifa.com/2022/en/flights-and-hotels/ and https://www.qatar2022.qa/book websites, and accommodation sales have already begun. 

It'd be the around the same number of fans from the United States who had tickets for the 2018 World Cup, spread across Russia, and had hotels available on the open market.

Qatar has announced 4,000 cabins on cruise ships that will dock in Doha for the tournament. To meet the demand to accommodate fans flocking to the city, camping in the desert will be a practical option that will make up a small percentage of the overall accommodation options in Qatar. 

The Supreme Committee of Qatar mentioned in the statement that they have always viewed the ability to camp as an offering of traditional Qatari Hospitality, not as a solution to speculation around accommodation shortages.
