    Getting TO/AROUND: Contrary to what you might have heard, Qatar does indeed have a public transport system. The new bus service started in October 2005 and is operated by a government-owned company called Mowalsalat, which also owns all the new bluish-silver taxis operating around town. The bus fare is QR 2 for rides in Doha, and up to QR 7 for inter-city buses. The Central Bus Terminus is located near the Alfardan Centre on Grand Hamad Street. Marhaba magazine produces a map which indicates the bus routes; the Mowasalat website is suprisingly unhelpful in this regard.

     Interesting places you've seen. I only made Doha, Al Wakrah and the dunes bear the oil fields.

     Great introduction to Qatar. I like your commnet "We have buses", then next tip "Camel races". Busy for the Doha Games. Must be a bit crowded these few weeks. Cheers, SL

     I'm fascinated by the Gulf States and count my trip to the UAE among my best ever. Hope to return to the area someday.
