The country has tried to preserve the Arabic and cultural
architecture into its new buildings
Looking back at the city of Doha
Artwork and fountains are all around the city
The country is surrounded by sandy white beaches
A few fisherman on an early weekend morning
Admiring the morning’s catch
The Parliament Building
It is one of the fastest growing cities in the world
One of the many cafes on the water
The old part of the city
Carpet shops everywhere
Along the Persian Sea waterfront
My favorite are the spice, nuts and sweets shops
While we have been to Qatar several times, the pictures here were taken in November 2007. They are from our old Goliards website, and the picture quality is not very good.
Qatar was a great place for us to go to while living in Saudi Arabia. It had great malls with excellent shopping and a large selection of wonderful restaurants. It also had a mix of old culture and modern amenities.
During long weekends or short holidays, this was a perfect place to relax.
Doha, the capital, is a modern, progressive city.
We stayed at the Sheraton - a landmark in Doha
An old fishing boat still in use
Lots of little shops
She was faster than our taxi
And narrow alleys with excellent shops
Quadding is extremely popular in the desert
