I understand that the reason they have "Families Only" nights at shopping malls is because some women feel uncomfortable going to public places where there are lots of men. I have no problem with that, and have seen security at Landmark turn away single Qatari men on these nights, so the rule applies to all.

However, I don't think they should do the same to The Corniche. There are "Family Only" parks where people can go if they wish. One of the nicest things about The Corncihe is the diversity of people there.

But what worries me more is that this undercover policeman said the reason they're doing it is to keep out labourers and certain nationalities. That is blatant racial discrimination.
