anyone know anything about these?? looking for something to do with the family while on break- we are all about going crazy from boredom!!! not much to do here in Doha (especially without spending a fortune!). any ideas would be welcomed. homesickness is over-taking us, as we live inside to escape tthe wind and dust, and find ourselves glued to the tv/video games!! what do families DO here???? again- without spending an enormous amount of money?

I read today in the paper that in conjunction with the camel races they have a fair going on untill 30 april at the Shahaniayah racetrack area, selling all sorts of Arabian crafts like camel craft, swords, dishes, wooden craft perfume. This could be fun for you to do this weekend. Consult add in Gulf times of 24.04.08
