It should be illegal for some people to wear leggings without a girdle.
Leggings is just a cover up name for tights.
Leggings are fine under a dress.
What’s this, demanding guests in your country adhere to the local culture.....What a concept......How.......Racist.
Damn I think I like Leggings!

I’ve done a lot of crazy things in my life, but I’m proud to say I’ve never owned a pair of his and her tights.
If they are really serious about this they would make camels wear socks......

Tourism in Qatar?
Only if Hell is overbooked!
There are leggings?
Can’t see outright banning stuff like that, though I think that all countries should highly encourage the concept that things like leggings or spandex are a privilege and not a right
Neither are @$$less chaps.
In Europe “pants” mean underpants.
What we call “pants”, they call trousers.
“Tourism in Qatar?”

I know nothing of tourism in Qatar, but they do have the second best rated airline in the world.
It is sad that no American carrier is in the top 25.
I have had three flights on Qatar, stopping in Doha.
For ten bucks you can go into the first class lounge, where you can have ANYTHING you want to eat and drink for free.
That includes liquor and excellent wines. They also have Wi-Fi and even beds, if you want to sleep.
One of the most obnoxious words ever.
