We've been to Jordan where we explored all around the dessert, and also recently in Peru, and I must admit that dessert is a foreign, but interesting landscape for us.

@TheWorldnUs4 жыл бұрын
Thanks for checking out our video. I’m happy to hear you enjoyed it. We are aware that you need permission to film at many places in Qatar. This video was shot at our home with some footage taken from our family’s outings used as b-roll. As far as we know you don’t need a permit for all situations. To make sure we always ask staff at a location if it’s ok for us to film. We were given permission to use our camera to take photos and video at MIA, Souq Waqif and Zubara Fort during our visits and have used some short clips in this video. There are certain places where you need a permit in advance like at Katara. Oh and Government buildings are a big no no. We think one of the most important things is to be considerate of the people here. We are always respectful in this regard and you’ll notice no one besides our family is recognisable in our footage. One day we visited the National Museum of Qatar and again we asked if it was ok to film and they said yes it’s fine. There was a situation when one of our children was making a drink with a lady that was working at a food stall outside. It was a beautiful moment and I asked the lady if I could take a photo. She was happy for me to do this. We have no intention on sharing the photos publicly, it was more to capture the moment for our memories. I guess the point I’m making is that you can have permission to film and take photos but then you still need to respect every situation and other people’s privacy. Particularly women. I believe if your doing a proper film and have a crew, or are doing interviews then yes you would need a special permit to film outside. But I believe our type of content is ok while being considerate of the culture, being respectful towards the country and the people, and checking for permission. I hope this helps. If we’ve done something wrong in this video it was completely unintentional as we want to follow the laws. I also found this article from a reputable news source which talks a bit about vlogging in Qatar if you want to check it out. www.iloveqatar.net/news/general/vlogging-responsibly-in-qatar

Since moving here I’ve had braces for my teeth, physio on my knee and shoulder surgery which cost me nothing through my insurance. I also unfortunately had cancer while here and all my treatment was done through Hamad Medical for next to nothing. Some visits and scans I had to pay between 20-75 qar. Pleased to say I’m now cancer free.
