During the visit, they toured the activities starting with the homestead (Izbah) event.

We got to know the nature of life of the people of Qatar in the past and the professions in which they worked, as well as we experienced camel riding and drank Arabic coffee in the traditional tents, “the House of Hair”, and the truth of this atmosphere is very wonderful.
About his opinion as a leader of the Brazilian fans in Qatar hosting the World Cup and his experience in visiting Darb Al Saai, he said: Before my visit to Qatar, I did not expect this huge amount of welcome and hospitality, as well as the wonderful organization of everything. The Qataris took care of every detail, no matter how small. We really feel As if we are at home.
