New Gold Souq?

After dinner, M and I went to check out the new Gold Souq?  It's right next to Souq Waqif and contains a lovely interior and of course tons of gold and jewelry.  Kinda like a museum or perhaps like the royal jewels in the Tower of London!  Definitely worth a visit to see all the sparkle!

Yum Yum at K108 Hotel

Ramadan appetizers and drinks

 M and I tried out Yum Yum, the restaurant at K108, the new and first boutique hotel in Doha, that donates 100% of its profit to charity and other important causes.  The prices were extremely decent with a lovely filet mignon for only 65QR.  There were complimentary Ramadan appetizers and drinks which were also delicious.  The chef, Hugo Coudurier, was a previous chef in one of the world-renowned three-Michelin-star French restaurants and he uses market ingredients with a French touch.

Olympics Through Media

The Olympics Through Media exhibition at Katara is absolutely fantastic.  Be sure to get a tour by the sweet interns.  They are really knowledgeable and will really make the exhibit!
