Lack of grocery shops is the main reason for Malls getting crowded in Qatar. In Kuwait every residential street has a grocery shop. In Dubai every apartment building has one. But in Qatar, no grocery shops for miles together, even in residential areas.

I always wonder why this problem in Qatar ? Even to buy milk or water we have to drive in congested traffic, and get stuck sometimes. Wow - that answers another question. Why there is so much traffic congestion in Qatar.
