    Souq Waqif had many falcons that were for sale.
    Falcons are considered a pet in Qatar and are as common as cats and dogs for us and the birds sell for a range of prices depending on the beauty of the bird and its speed.
    There were a variety of birds on show including a white falcon that had a price of $65k as it was considered a very prized specimen. The passion originated from ancient times when falcons were priceless in securing meat for the family.

    The market specialized in all things Arabic…spices, pets, robes, lamps, incense, dates, sweet pastries and of course camels 🐪.

    We decided to go back to the Pearl Quarter for dinner as there was a lot of options for food. Everything seems to happen between 6 pm and- 1 am because of the heat and as a consequence the menus are Brunch type foods at that time of night with lots of dessert options. Dates are also popular served with turmeric tea and of course shisha. There was a travelling bird exhibit ..even with a kookaburra.
    The next day the amazing Hilton hotel where I would stay again in a heartbeat offered us a 2 pm checkout so we had a lazy morning at the gym and the beach before going to the airport .
    Our flight was at 9.30 pm but we sat in this beautiful indoor garden they have created and then the Gold Members lounge which was very nice. I even scored a pair of first class pyjamas when a flight attendant spilt water all over me 🤗
    Qatar airlines is very impressive, I could not fault them.
