Location found

Before his move to Saudi Arabia, Neymar and his former team (PSG, owned by Qatar Sports Investments) frequently visited Qatar. Locations like The Pearl in Doha feature a similar upscale, modern, open-air commercial environment with promenades, restaurants, and a warm climate. This is a plausible alternative location for a high-profile footballer in the region. However, it lacks the specific matching details of the light poles and flooring seen in the primary candidate.

As Neymar is Brazilian, it's possible the photo was taken during a trip home. Upscale neighborhoods in cities like Rio de Janeiro or coastal resorts have outdoor dining and a warm climate suitable for the attire shown. However, the specific architectural style, the design of the light fixtures, and the likely ethnicity of the other man and background figures do not strongly align with a typical Brazilian setting, making the Middle East a much more probable region.
