Qatar World Cup 2022 hotels evacuated and swept for bombs with guests turfed out in the middle of lunch
HOTELS across Doha are being evacuated at a moment’s notice for security concerns.
Any hotel hosting one of the nations competing in the World Cup here is thoroughly swept for bombs just before the team bus arrives for the first time to set up base.

Today the Double Tree Hilton in the Saad district of Doha saw guests in the middle of their lunch in the Streat Culture bar told to down their knives and forks and immediately leave the building with the Ghana team soon to arrive.
Each of the 140 guest rooms plus every office, bar and restaurant was then thoroughly searched by a team with specially trained sniffer dogs.
Guests were left outside for around 15 minutes before being allowed back in.
And it shows that Qatari officials are leaving nothing to chance ahead of Sunday’s opening ceremony, followed by the host nation’s tournament opener against Ecuador.
