An England football fan exploring "hidden Qatar" found "eerie abandoned apartment blocks" where workers who built the stadium allegedly lived.
Rob Dawley, 21, was visiting the country to support England in the World Cup, and decided on a whim to head to less explored areas.
On his day out, he stumbled upon "a migrant camp", which he denied access to, and was then taken by his taxi driver to the city centre of Mesaieed - a city in Qatar.
At first, Rob was met with no entry signs around the entire city centre, which was made up of several abandoned apartment blocks.
By chance, the lucky England fan stumbled upon some friendly security guards, who gave him a private tour of the apartments, as "they were being demolished in a few months anyway".
Rob, a former butcher, from Grimsby, Lincolnshire, said: "I came to watch the footy with my friend, but on Thursday, in between football days, I decided I wanted to explore.
"I messaged my mate who's dad used to live in Qatar and asked him to recommend somewhere he wouldn't go - he gave me a list and Messaieed was on there.
"I got on the local metro in Qatar and met someone called Hassan at the bus stop, he told me he was a migrant doctor and living in a camp nearby so I followed him.
