Business Lunch at Market at the W


Went for the business lunch again at Market.  Got tomato soup, the gourmet cheeseburger, and apple cake for dessert.  Amazing as always!

Souq Waqif Spring Festival

The circus festival was back again at Souq Waqif. This is my third time seeing this festival and it seems to be every year at the same time with a timing very close to Mardi Gras....

Landcruiser Hole!


This image was on Doha News so then we went out and found the hole! It was in Qatar Foundation next to the modern art museum.





Just a week later it was all patched up....

Fairuz Restaurant


Fairuz is my favorite Lebanese restaurant in Doha.  I feel like everything here is particularly delicious and well made, especially the fatouche and hummas.  One of the dishes unique to them are the spicy potatoes which are excellent.

Real Moroccan Bath House & New Best Salon in Doha

While driving around Landmark, I stumbled upon this new salon!  Called Princesses Salon, I was intrigued and checked it out.

Princesses Salon

I tried a Moroccan bath (150QR) for the first time.  They have built a real Moroccan bath house right inside the villa--amazing!  The owners of Princesses Salon are two Moroccan women who know top quality and know everything about real Moroccan baths naturally.  They are definitely experts, and not just with the baths.  They have extreme attention to detail for all things beauty and the staff are friendly and quality.  In addition to the Moroccan baths, they have everything and I mean everything including manicure, pedicure, hair, eyebrows, make-up, henna, waxing, massage, facials, and more...  So far I've also tried a facial (300QR) and a massage (100QR), both were excellent.  For the massage, they heated the oil beforehand which was super nice and something I haven't encountered before (even during massages in Thailand!).  The massage room was also so pretty and lit up with candles that I had to take a photo and they didn't mind at all!  The owners were at the salon when I was there and they speak excellent English so it wasn't a problem at all with any of my questions.  Overall, the prices are decent for the really good quality and kind atmosphere.
