Eve - where does it say dogs aren't allowed on the Corniche?

Personally I don't think dogs should be allowed there, as they shouldn't be urinating etc where people (esp. kids) are playing, but I've never seen anything actually forbidding it.

We started doing short walks with our dog to the beachy areas in between some of the embassy buildings in West Bay, but then some men with big guns told us not to. I tried to point out that the sign says only swimming is not allowed, not walking, but to no avail. Oh well.

We now use the big patch of land on the city side of the InterCon. Unfortenately a lot of people seem unable to use the bins provided there so there are lots of broken liquor bottles lying around. And it looks like they're about to fence off a large section of it.

I'd say that overall Doha isn't a dog-friendly place, but you'll find plenty of places if you head out of the city.
