Doha, Qatar

by emmet7 - last update: May 30, 2007

(Dubai Lite?)

new twin buildings
booming city with construction everywhere; was really surprised with all the western brands and chain restaurants there. Much easier to get around than Dubai but traffic will be snarled before long.

Felt like I was in the Philippines as all service help seem to be from there.

I like the seaside area (Corniche) and thought that some of the modern architecture was just incredible.

one of the largest construction sites in the world

my company is involved in building materials; so will return again soon
