Scorpio - you couldn't be more right, but you also need a plane ticket, an exit permit, all of those to actually be valid/work (we all know how good QA is!!) plus plus.......
Don't even start on me. Of course I care about labour workers, and try to donate as much as possible when I can.. You obviously haven't read any of my posts, because if you did, you would SEE how much I care!!
Why can't I care for both humans and animals hey?
Thank god there are people like me who DO care about animals...especially with people out there like you with comments like "why worry about animals"...shame on you!!
Why worry about animels. How about the humans caged in labour camps in Sanaia (industrial area) without basic human needs. Packed like sardins in their rooms. Doha zoo is much better looked after.
How can staring in the eyes of miserable animals who are locked up in cages be wonderful?
Those poor animals :( why do they treat animals with so much inhumanity in Doha, and why is there no funding when it comes to their well being..makes me sick :(
The most wonderful place in Doha is the airport :)
you turn off somewhere before you reaching Dukhan. And you go off road all the way there. Pass the ostrich farm then the movie set. Here some photos for you :

Been there few times. My husband car even being attacked by one of them. You can see the mark on the car if you want :-) If anyone interested sometimes in this coming winter i can ask my husband to take you there. You will need a 4 WD to go to the area. And we can go camping by the beach as well.
by Zehreet, the remains of a movie set of the barbarian tribe stone huts and the civilized local arab houses are still there for people to have a look around - never seen the movie shot here though...and going on the quality "culturally heritage" on view the movie must have been a local block-buster, but if visiting watch out for the "wild" ostriches.
I wasn't referring to Semeisma beach but one further north and very few people on it. Harrsement is very rare in this location, or if its not for you get a pet dog!
Ostrich in Duhkan Desert - you think the Doha zoo is bad how about putting poor "African" Ostriches into the desert and feeding /watering them as there is no natural vegetation or water - completely unsustainable. More misguided TIQ moments.
Still i take visitors to see them although they do look ina right state sometimes.......
I understand people in Doha joinging clubs for the beaches etc. but why on earth would you go to Al Bustan beach resort when there are better and longer beaches 10 minutes away, for example, in the Al-Dhakriha natrual reserve. You have to pay 200 QR for what should be a god given right to walk along the beach. There are too many defacto private beaches in Qatar now that ordinary people can't get access easily.
The Zoo? Oh goodness NO! The animals........poor animals is all I can say. Try going to a 'real' zoo, where the animals are treated properly and you'll see why Qatar Zoo is truly shameful.
Out of the list Sealine is nice. :)

Moonbeam, what's PML??? I'm new the lingo and can't figure this one out! Sorry...it's got nothing to do with anything but i'm curious.
LOL! The airport on your way out! PML! I couldn't agree more! :D

The zoo is really disgusting here!!!!! Really, those poor animals...:( Their living conditions there are just awful!
But anyway, Sealine is very nice. I love the Cornishe too, and the view of the Diplomatic Area.
My best place is my garden.
My car when I manage to avoid traffic jam.
Anywhere when the weather is nice and you can relax.
Khor Al Udeid, the beach in the border Qatar to Saudia.... The Desert --->> 2 to 3 hours hours drive from Sealine Beach.
It was amazing, seen some desert plants and of course Camels!
Cheers!

"I find it wholesome to be alone the greater part of time. To be in company, even with the best, is soon wearisome and dissipating. I love to be alone, I never find a companionable solitude"
Mine would be -
The corniche
Sealine
The singing dunes
Alwakra Beach

It is in the same area with Arab Movie Set.
by Zehreet, the remains of a movie set of the barbarian tribe stone huts and the civilized local arab houses are still there for people to have a look around - never seen the movie shot here though...and going on the quality "culturally heritage" on view the movie must have been a local block-buster, but if visiting watch out for the "wild" ostriches.
Cut and past i know!!!
I wasn't referring to Semeisma beach but one further north and very few people on it. Harrsement is very rare in this location, or if its not for you get a pet dog!
i never saw ostrich in dukhan where the hell is that>>>

Ostrich in Duhkan Desert - you think the Doha zoo is bad how about putting poor "African" Ostriches into the desert and feeding /watering them as there is no natural vegetation or water - completely unsustainable. More misguided TIQ moments.
Still i take visitors to see them although they do look ina right state sometimes.......
we pay the fee - so we are safe and dont get harrassed.
But yes Semeisma beach is lovely for a walk.
I understand people in Doha joinging clubs for the beaches etc. but why on earth would you go to Al Bustan beach resort when there are better and longer beaches 10 minutes away, for example, in the Al-Dhakriha natrual reserve. You have to pay 200 QR for what should be a god given right to walk along the beach. There are too many defacto private beaches in Qatar now that ordinary people can't get access easily.
Yes, i'm a grumpy old git today.

"Al Bustan beach resort? where is that?"
Some where in Qatar ;P
[img_assist|nid=24279|title=micky|desc=|link=none|align=left|width=137|height=180]
Al Bustan beach resort? where is that?
I agree with Moonbeam about the zoo...I was there last year and I wouldn't ask anyone to go there. It was a hirrible view to me!
-----------------------------------------------------------
I like Al Khor beach-and picnics there.
Corniche during the day and the lovely colour of the water at noon.
If you're looking for a problem, you're probably gonna find one.
the airport on your way out
1. Old Arab Movie set
2. Al Ruis Beach
3. Al Bustan Beach Resort
