Ok then....interesting comments. I completely want to respect the culture in Doha - I am fascinated by it and look forward to my trip. Never in my life would I ever have thought I might have the privilege to visit this jewel! Dezertryder - I'm actually a widow, having spent several years married to a white man. But I see the person, not the race/colour and I am glad that I have found someone that has brought happiness and love back into my life. Why would that threaten cultural values? I have good values, strict morals (despite my question, I have some personal reasons for asking it in that way) and my only purpose is to enjoy your country and make sure that I am safe, he is safe and we offend no one.
