Why? Because Qatar is NOT a land of equal opportunity. If that's what you are looking for, go somewhere else. As, others have replied earlier, it's easier to 'manage' people when you share the same culture. My buildings Egyptian security guy hires only Egyptian security guards. Our Ethiopian transport manager hires only Ethiopian drivers. Our Indian finance officer prefers only Indian (and specifically from one particular city/region) accountants. This is not possible even in India, which btw a land of equal opportunity. Cheap is not the only reason. This is what I heard recently - I can get a Ghanaian accountant for half the price. but, I don't want her.
