| 2 nights stopover in Doha/Qatar (April 2014) |
| |
| We flew with Qatar Airways from Thailand to Iran. As they stop in Doha anyway we thought we might as well stay there for 2 nights. We did not expect much but once again we were pleasantly surprised. |
| |
| As it got really hot during the day (around 38°C) we explored the city in the morning and went back to our room around noon. Like this we could escape the heat and when it got a bit cooler in the afternoon we went out again. |

 |
| the Museum of Islamic Art |
| |
 |
Abdul Wahhab Mosque.
This was the first Mosque we visited in a Muslim country and we were pretty impressed. |
| |
| |
| Doha is a city we would probably not go to for a one week holiday but we really enjoyed our 3 days there and are glad we stopped there. |

| NOTES & ANECDOTES |
| |
| it seemed very odd that when you travel to one of the richest countries in the world you have to pay 20 Euros to enter it |
| |
| in Qatar one liter of petrol costs 0,20€ |
| |
| Doha is certainly not made for pedestrians - it was very hard to walk around as in many places there were no walkways |
| |
| to get around Doha we prefered public buses instead of taxis. The percentage of women using puplic buses is very low - whenever we were on buses Verena was one of the only woman |
