Some 1.2 million people are expected to pour into Qatar during the 2022 FIFA World Cup that begins today.

With fans coming from all over the world, reaching Qatar on the Arabian Peninsula, as well as getting around once there, remains a concern. Estimates suggest that as many as half a million people may be in the country each day during the height of the competition.
