I was there 2 days ago on a friday. I too was rejected entry. But I saw swams of arab and western guys walking in and out. The guards told us only Chinese, Indian and Pakistan guys are not allowed in. Aparently Arab and western guys can over ride this so called "Family Day"

We were all well dressed in pants and closed toed shoes and we did not look like construction workers. In fact we were here on invite by e prince of doha to organise an economic freedom award presentation. Such discrimination is shameful. In any other country, the management of the building will be in trouble.

I am from Singapore and we have 1/3 of our population making up of muslims and we work, eat and play together all the time. This is the first time I am experienced racisim from muslims.

Never coming back again. Not to Doha, not to the Middle East. Good luck on building tourism with policies like this.
