More of the Sights

Ok, I have to admit, I didn't take these pictures. I borrowed them from someone who has a better camera. Just wanted to post a few more pictures to show some of the sites.

A better shot of the Souqs

A typical shot of one of the shops selling spices. These places have the most amazing smell
Doha was once a huge pearling center of the Middle East. There are still a few pearlers out there but today the major industry is natural gas. This pearl fountain is downtown, across the street from the souqs.

The Doha skyline

If you're into soccer, you might know that Qatar is hosting the 2022 World Cup. They have hosted the Asian Games in the past and this is one of the stadiums they use.


There is a family of camels that live right outside the gate of the base. This is a baby camel.
