First and foremost, my car! My 2007 Nissan Tiida, bought just before the new year. I am a happy mama.
Everything is in fine working order, except for the missing hubcap. The Nissan autoshop people told me I could get a new one for 300QR ($83 US), to which I said, hell to the no! So now I will just say that the missing hubcap adds character.
Some lovely sweets at the local Opera bakery. Yum!
More yum!
Some treasures from the Museum of Islamic Art. You are allowed to take pictures, but no video cameras. Go figure. These lanterns, I believe, are Egyptian.
More treasures. The bird was completely gem-encrusted. Gorgeous.
Inlaid wooden panels, from Egypt. Made me think of the Mosque of Ibn Tulun in Cairo...
Part of the stunning architecture of the Museum of Islamic Art. Pretty cool.
Christmas in Doha. Incidentally, this tree didn't stick around for too long. A week later, it was gone, long before the 25th. If you look carefully, those are shopping bags hung on the tree - so appropriate.
Refineries just outside of Doha.
Why this place is what it is.
Another gorgeous scene from the corniche. This is actually a Middle Eastern restaurant on the corniche, which I haven't tried, but will soon, hopefully.
Dohan corniche, 8am, Friday morning.
Dohan corniche, same time.
