  • Qatar's waters are host to some of the world's largest gatherings of whale sharks, the biggest fish on the planet.
    The gentle sea giants spotted in large numbers off the Qatari coast gather to feed on the abundance of fish eggs in the waters.
    Al Jazeera's Stefanie Dekker got exclusive access to head out to sea and swim with the endangered species.

    Leave these sharks alone. Don’t try to be the protector of everything. They will be fine.

    Please make a report about the kafala system practiced in Qatar where guest workers are treated like modern day slaves.

      They have changed that. There is no kafala system anymore. Maybe try to be updated.

      reminiscent of how slavery officially is abolished in Mauritania and other muslim countries but in practice still continues.
