The eyes of the world are on Qatar and the infrastructure it put in place to host the FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022. Seven AC-equipped stadiums were built within a 55km radius of Doha, with crowd capacities ranging between 40,000 and 80,000 people, accommodation agencies, and special World Cup visas were introduced for fans. Less attention has been paid to World Cup fever in Dubai, which is expected to attract an additional 1 million visitors before December 18 (1.4 million fans are expected to attend matches in Doha).<\/div>\n
Packed fan zones, cheaper accommodation, and Dubai as an attractive tourist destination are just some of the reasons fans are choosing Dubai as their HQ for the World Cup.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
