Following Iran's missile attacks on a US military base in Qatar, life quickly resumed normality in Doha. The Qatari defense forces intercepted most missiles, causing brief panic in the capital. Residents were advised to stay indoors as schools closed and airspace was shut down. However, mere hours later, the streets returned to life as families visited malls and public spaces. Many expressed confidence in local authorities, sharing a sense of security despite the night's fears. Some took advantage of the unexpected time off, turning the situation into an opportunity for leisure and relaxation.
As soon as we were informed of the school closure, we planned a family day out to enjoy the unexpected time off. If we had any apprehension or safety concerns, we wouldn't have brought our children out.
In the preceding hours, the US and Britain had advised their citizens to shelter in place. Qatar shut its airspace and announced that schools would be closed on Tuesday.
