Peruvians in Qatar
According to the Peruvian Embassy, only 200 Peruvian nationals reside in this Arab country, almost all are professionals, especially in the aviation field.
For example, some Peruvians are working as pilots and flight attendants at Qatar Airways —one of the most prestigious airlines in the world.
Others are working in education, engineering, tourism, construction, and sports sectors.
Moreover, some Peruvians have been hired by FIFA to work across sport disciplines, since the development of sports is a state policy in Qatar.
In addition, five Peruvians are pursuing studies in said country, and almost everyone is learning Arabic.
"Adaptation is not as complicated as it is believed, since the (local) population —despite its traditions and culture— receives foreigners very friendly," Benzaquen stated.
