Qatar unveils 6,000 cabin World Cup fan village

Qatar unveiled on Wednesday a 6,000-cabin fan village in an isolated lot near its airports, an offering for the upcoming World Cup just days away from starting. The cabins were built on a 3.1 square-kilometer site, which housed a metro station, a bus stop, and a planned temporary restaurant and convenience store. The area could in theory hold as many as 12,000 people if booked at capacity.

The brightly colored cabins, each with thin walls, are designed to hold one or two people with twin beds, a nightstand, a small table and chair, air conditioning, a toilet and a shower inside. Each will go for around 200 USD a night, 270 USD with board, as the tournament goes on.
