  • Favorite Thing: The Qatar International Arabian Horse Festival is something you have to see if you come to Qatar in February or March (it's different from year to year), and are into those beautiful animals! There is Racing, Endurance, showjumping, dressage, and last but not least the Show! Where the finest arabian horses in the world is shown! Exhibitors, spectators, and breeders from all over the world is in Qatar this one week of the year. The show was also the main reason why I came to Qatar :)

  • Favorite Thing: If you are going to Qatar in Nov/Dec, you might be lucky enough to be there while the National Arabian Horse Show is held! This is definatly a show to visit... Arabian Horses from the farms in Qatar are presented both in halter and liberty. The show is two days, and the last day the champions will be chosen... It is held at the Corniche, close to the Mövenpick hotel. It is just one of the best shows I have been to, not the biggest or with the best horses, but the people, atmospher, and surroundings are outstanding! and if the trip is arranged my the Qatar Racing & Equestrian Club, you will get a place in the VIP Lounge :)

  • Favorite Thing: For some reason I always ends up arriving in Qatar at night, where it's not possible to see anything other than the lights from the streets and buildings. Once I was lucky enough to get a flight in the day time, and I have added a few of the pictures from when we where flying over Qatar...

    Nothing else than sand really... :)
    And wow it looks sooo small from above!

  • Favorite Thing: Doha is a city who is constantly growing! New buildings are rising at the corniche and the rest of the city, and new roads and bridges are build. Even though, it is still possible to see some of the old culture, and life around the country, and even in Doha...

     I think Qatar is like Marmite, some love it, some hate it! Nice to see someone from the "love it" side.
