The I Love Qatar team is back with season three of its helpful Qtips.

In this latest video, Khalifa Saleh Al Haroon explains why it’s important to remove your shoes when visiting a Qatari’s home or majlis (unless you’re told otherwise.

This is because cleanliness and good hygiene are very important in Islamic and Qatari culture.

Thus, removing your shoes “is clean, it is the right thing to do and it is polite,” Al Haroon said. Of course, wearing socks is ok, he added.
