A Well-Hidden Place Of Adventure | View of Doha, Qatar from a DC-10 |
A city situated on the west coast of the Persian Gulf, Doha provides an open air of relaxation for the traveler. From local sand dunes, beaches, and a busy cultural center, you can enjoy this Arabian community with memories of fun and enchantment. (Pics and narratives still under construction...) |
