i've got a friend visiting me from the uk this weekend, and i need some ideas as to what to do while she's here in Doha.

Any ideas??

She's here from Thursday til Sunday, and I have a car, so driving is not a problem.

thanks in advance

I would add Islamic Museum, barbecue on the beach (sea is still quite cold, but for a short bath...), why not Zubara fort, sand roses near Dukhan, fishing trip from Sheraton, or even bowling and cinema...

There is a classical concert on Sunday, depends on what time she's flying...

Enjoy your week end.

Schedule an afternoon dune bashing experience (with professionals!)...MAKE her ride a camel & take pics

She would love high tea at the Ritz (2:30-5:30ish)

Isfahan Gardens in the souqs for a great dining experience (eat downstairs majlis style...on persian carpets)

Walk around Villagio...take a Gondola ride (short, but sweet)

Take a drive out to the Pearl and have coffee on the boardwalk

Go to Turkey Central to show her how the real people live

Visit a local juice stall
