Qataris are very particular about food and beverages, especially breakfast, which pays attention to the combination of color and taste.

When they eat breakfast, they usually drizzle some golden and green olive oil on the cheese or yogurt, and garnish with small green or black olives.

Locals also like to eat "braised broad beans" for breakfast, which is cooked with broad beans, garlic and olive oil.

Qataris usually eat vegetables and fruits for lunch and dinner.

Preparing dishes like to use a lot of fragrant seasonings.

Qataris mainly eat rice, beef and mutton, and like to eat seafood.

When entertaining distinguished guests, roasted whole lamb is often used. The lamb belly is stuffed with rice and then baked, giving it a unique flavor.

Sometimes guests are also invited to eat date rice, which is fried rice with dates, pine nuts and raisins. It is sweet and delicious.

The seafood served to guests is grilled fish and prawns dipped in soup.

A type of fish used in grilled fish dishes is called "hamula" and is red in color.

The meat is fresh and tender, usually weighing more than 10 kilograms, and is roasted with pine branches, giving it a special aroma; the prawns dipped in soup are fried or boiled prawns and then dipped in a soup made from minced mutton, which is delicious and refreshing.

During the meal, the guest and host sit cross-legged on the carpet and grab food with their hands. They talk while eating. The meal often lasts for one or two hours. At the end, coffee is served. After the guest takes a few sips of coffee, he can stand up and say goodbye.

Like other Islamic countries, Qatar strictly prohibits eating pork, drinking hard alcohol, smoking, and gambling. Violators will be severely punished, including foreigners.
