Doha has been more fun than we expected! Apart from having great weather (ha ha), the place is a hive of activity and there is a buzz about the area, mostly due to the amount of construction work being carried out...... everything here is brand spanking new! All of the sky scrapers you can see in the photos have been built in the last five years which is incredible in itself.
There are many, many more being constructed and the amount of building work is like nothing we have seen! The buildings themselves are a sight to behold with bold sexy architecture in abundance. You can see a snap of Matt's favourite below.
The area is awash with money and this is reflected in the cars that are cruising around, with a favourite being the Hummer.
Moving on from the surroundings, we spent one busy day sight seeing. Firstly we went to a new market place that had been constructed in a traditional manner and it was full of character as well as interesting stalls with all sorts on sale. We went out to the desert just to see it really, as Matt had not seen the desert before. When we got near we could see stalls of quads at the foot of the dunes, so we decided on hiring a couple for half an hour to tear around the dunes on. What fun that was! Doughnuts a plenty. We got some great snaps of the dunes and stuff.
We then went on to visit Martin's friends and then onto a club for drinks and some entertaining bands! (Google Mocha Band, they have done FHM and Maxim spreads)
Anyway, as we write this we are now getting excited about the imminent journey to Bangkok. We leave at 8.30pm tonight (Doha Time) and Arrive at something like 6.30am Thai time. We will update the blog when we next get to a machine, whenever that will be.
