Sorry about the smoke, that may have been the grape and mint I was puffing on in the Al Morjan blowing your way ghost. Nestor....seriously! How many QND firework displays have you seen? It was down from 10 to 7 mins according to my clock, and was over before I thought it had got going. Will I go next year? Well probably, it wasn't as good this year, but I still enjoyed it.

everything was well organized in the morning.. less traffic and everything went smooth. but the firework was totally disappointing.... very very bad... and it was ruined by heavy smoke.

i think this is the best Fireworks display and its much more impressive.... the duration of fireworks is alright because if its too long the fireworks would be such a boring to watch... congratulations Qatar for successful National Day!! :)

Congratulations to the authorities for sorting out the traffic problems experienced in previous years. This year we watched the firework display on the Corniche, drank a cup of coffee at the end of it, walked to the car about 10:40pm (by this time ours was the only car left in the car park by the park), and then drove home in about 20 mins. In previous years this would have take 2 to 3 hours at least.

However the firework display was shorter, and did seem like it was on a tighter budget this year. Not quite as impressive anymore.
