The available accommodations for theQatar2022 World Cup

The Qatar 2022 World Cup will be held in Doha, a city that was built especially for the occasion. According to reports, Doha and surrounding cities are running out of affordable hotels. 100,000 rooms have been quickly snapped up by World Cup fans.

Furthermore, 80% of the 30,000 hotel rooms left in Doha have already been reserved for teams, officials, guests, and the media. That is why Qatar has launched the renting of tents, which costs almost 190 euros per night.The tents will complement clusters of prefabricated cabins and tent-like structures.

Fansrenting the most basic tents will have access to running water and power generators but no air conditioning (expected to be over 30 degrees Celsius during the World Cup). These services will be available in 80% of the tents. The other 20% will include more amenities for a luxury desert experience, including TVs and attached bathrooms.

In addition, as reported by Bloomberg, Qatarhas also leased two luxury cruise liners, encouraged homeowners to rent their properties to visitors, and set up a regional system of shuttle flights so fans can stay in other countries.

The surge in demand has caused rents to spike. Also, tenants in some hotel residences have been told they’ll need to move out ahead of the tournament, while other renters are relocating because of exorbitant increases in monthly rent.
