Doha's Islamic Centre viewed from the bay which lines a great deal of the city...
Part of the skyline with one of its unique....though not quite finished skyscrapers...
Another fabulous tall building...this one with a very large golden ball joining the two towers on about the 20th floor (I am told that there is a meeting room within the ball)...
Some colourful spices at the Doha Souk (market)...
The Doha skyline...
The new and yet to be opened Doha Museum of Islamic Arts which lies on the bay...
Two more superb looking buildings...believe it or not, these, when finished, will be the tallest zig-zag buildings in the world!!! Wow!...
Inside the souk...
Outside the souk...
A closer look at the soon to be anointed tallest zig-zag buildings in the world...
Looking out towards the Arabian Gulf from a Doha beach...
A former royal palace which has been converted into the Diplomatic Club...a place for the expats to act like gentlemen...
Some snaps of the a short trip to a fishing village north of Doha, the village of Al Khawr...
On the way up, I was constantly distracted by the busy-ness of the landscape...
A fishing boat 'rego plate' as we might call it back in Oz...
...and so I returned to AD as we locals call it now all ready for the next journey...(which is not far away)...
