* Travel advice for people heading to central Doha in November and December As Qatar enters the last lap of the countdown to the FIFA World Cup 2022, many changes to existing rules and practices come into effect Tuesday. These changes range from traffic alterations and revised school timings to the easing of travel, entry and Covid-19 testing rules and access to almost all places in the country without having to show the Ehteraz status. Curbside restrictions at Qatar's two airports have also been announced. To support the successful delivery of the FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022, the Corniche and many connecting roads will be pedestrianised from today until December 19. To preserve the security, safety and comfort of all passengers and visitors during the FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022, and to ensure smooth operations, both Hamad International Airport and Doha International Airport have announced that curbside access will be restricted starting from Tuesday.
