Qatar

Have you ever seen a plush green golf course in the middle of a barren desert? Take a close look and you will see the country of Qatar. The south of the country lays by Saudi Arabia and the Persian Gulf borders the rest. Once sand dunes, now grows enormous buildings, restaurants, and sporting venues. Doha, the capital city of Qatar, is growing day by day. Stroll down the city streets, meet up with the locals at the horse races or take a Dhow Ride boat tour around the bay. Football and cricket games here are filled with excitement and the cheering of fans. Everything you’ve ever imagined about Arabia is here for you.

Qatar is following Dubai in building sky high buildings that are ground breaking in design and visually simply spectacular. Yet you can still find the old world and low buildings by visiting the old marketplace in Qatar, Souq Waquif, to bargain for locally made goods. Let yourself get lost in narrow alleyways lined with shops to soak up the authentic atmosphere, rub shoulders with locals, and discover dining gems. For a different kind of shopping, go to The Villaggio Mall, which looks like Venice inside, complete with gondolas and canals! And to sample an amazing building filled with art, make your way to the Islamic Museum of Art.
