Imagine that you are walking on the streets of a country in the hot summer sun and suddenly a cool breeze starts blowing beneath your feet. It sounds like something from a movie, but it’s true. A video from Doha, Qatar is going viral on social media, in which a man describes cool air blowing from an air conditioner on the streets of Souq Waqif. “I thought the weather had changed,” he says, “but actually, the cool air is coming from an air conditioner installed underground.”
Seeing the air conditioners installed on the streets, people called them “the epitome of luxury”.
Qatar is considered one of the richest countries in the world, and this video offers further proof of its luxurious lifestyle. Souq Waqif is a historic market in Doha, which is frequented by tourists day and night. To provide relief from the heat, an underground cooling system has been installed beneath the roads. So, walk and feel the cool breeze with every step.
Why is Qatar called the fourth richest country in the world?
Qatar’s economy is based on natural gas and oil. It is the fourth richest country in the world in terms of per capita gross domestic product (GDP). Health, education and standards of living for its citizens are excellent. This viral video once again shows that when money and brains come together, even the hottest desert can become cold.
