  • Exploring Doha - Day 1

    August 11 in Qatar ⋅ ☀️ 42 °C

    First day exploring Doha!
    It’s really hot, the sun is strong and the air feels like being in a sauna.
    But this doesn’t stop me!
    I started my day going to The Pearl, a human-made neighborhood which big palaces. I wanted to walk around a bit, but it was too much due to the hot temperatures, therefore I headed to my next stop: Katara Cultural Village.

    Here at Katara you can visit a beautiful mosque, but to enter you need to cover as a muslim (they give you the clothes at the entrance).
    There is also an amazing amphitheater and other stuff to see, like a stairs made with mosaics.

    After buying something to drink and refreshed my selfe in the AC, I decided to go to one of the biggest shopping malls of Qatar (is not the biggest, but for me it was already) - Doha Festival
    City. If you need to do some shopping Doha is the best place to do it, there are so many different and big big malls.

    The afternoon ended with a visit to the National Museum of Qatar, where it was possible to learn the history of Qatar and a small walk along the Corniche.
    The museum visit was followed then to a dinner in Souq Waqif, which was offered to me from a Qatari and a small shopping tour in the nice shoppings of this market.

  • Exploring Doha - Day 2

    August 12 in Qatar ⋅ ☀️ 44 °C

    A second day walking around the city with this hot weather - I like a lot the hot temperatures, but I also have a limit…
    After an amazing breakfast, I walked for 20/25minutes till the museum of Islamic Art, a very nice museum with a lot of interesting art pieces.
    My visit was followed by a drive with Uber to the Qatar National University, which was too big…my idea was to walk around it, but it was impossible, the walking distances are huge.
    Therefore I directed myself toward the nearest Metro Station, but google maps was saying 30/35 minutes more…at this point I met a nice French Professor that drove me to my next destination, Lusail, showing me a bit around.

    At Lusail, after some picture, I took thr metro and went to the Qatar National Library, a huge library within the Education City, another complex of universities. There are a lot of really cool buildings around there, but again, walking is not a good option. Therefore I only went to a Mosque near the library and then moved back to Souq Waqif, where I had a nice dinner and then went home, to get ready for tonight’s flight.
