The Truth is Out

International travelers have ranked Doha as one of the world’s least friendly cities, describing it as “ugly” and having “horrible” traffic, according to results of a new survey.

Qatar’s capital came in at 10th least friendly in the Condé Nast Traveler’s list of World’s Unfriendliest Cities. It fared better than the Nigerian city of Lagos (9th) and Detroit, which came in 8th place.

Newark in the US state of New Jersey took the dubious title of least friendly place to visit.

One reader even described it as “one of the saddest looking cities I have ever seen.”

According to the article the traveler spoke about the least friendly City. And it became Ugly due to the horrible Traffic. Need more details why the City is unfriendly.

If the reason is only Traffic, Well, I am not sure how a rating is done only based on Traffic. I would like to read the full article why they exactly said, Qatar as a an unfriendly City. Please guide us with the appropriate link, so the readers can read the article in full.

A really beautiful city like Florence doesn't need any ratings! Tourist come in the millions every year without any advertisement.

MM: So we should not believe traveller magazines and institutions when they give airlines and hotels excellent ratings or awards?

WT, It's un-wise to believe a stranger for a report on your own home place, that's one thing.

Never trust the dubious surveys like this which are some times printed after paying a fees on certain days when your paper is almost BLANK ..........
