Saudi Commuters Descend on Doha for an In-and-Out World Cup

Planes from all around the world are landing at Hamad International Airport in Doha, Qatar, every few minutes. They are flying to cheer on Saudi Arabia, who are playing in the World Cup. Qatar created a temporary toll of 5,000 Saudi riyal (about $1,330) for those driving across the border during the tournament.
