Falcon at Souq Waqif


Souq Waqif Art Center


The art center in Souq Waqif opened!  It's incredible inside and the above photo definitely does not capture the awesomeness...  I'm looking forward to seeing more exhibitions here.

Sunset at Barzan Towers in Umm Salal Mohammed



Grape Leaves & Shawarma in Ruwais


It was so cool to see these guys making grape leaves!  I asked if I could take photos and they were cool with it.  The staff were very kind.


We also got shawarma from this place and it was one of the best I've had in Qatar!  What a nice surprise.  :)

Zubara Fort


Good to see Zubara Fort no longer under renovation!  Looks like there are some plans for the old Zubara Town nearby...


We visited just after it was announced that this traditional pearl fishing town became the first Qatari site to enter the UNESCO World Heritage List.  Exciting!

Le Vesuvio in Katara

 

After the performance we joined one of the performers for a quick bite at the new Italian restaurant in Katara, Le Vesuvio.  We got a pizza and the aubergine au parmesan.  The aubergine au parmesan was quite good and I'm not a huge fan of eggplant!
