Walking in Doha
By londontodoha •
Hi
This might be a bit of an odd question but can you walk from the Japanese Embassy or the Kempinski Hotel to City Centre Shopping Centre? It looks definitely walkable distance-wise but do the roads preclude any chance of walking?
Thanks very much. I once made the mistake before going out to Dubai of assuming I could easily walk across the Sheikh Zayed Road...
You can best walk the entire area of corniche(from start to the other end) in just 1 hour. its a cool place.
I see a lot of people are walking in City Centre area in the evenings and weekends. They park their cars all around W, Kempinski, and stuff, and just walk.. it's not really safe, as there are no sidewalks in Doha, but as I said, I see many people do it.. Life is unsafe in general.. so..
U have dodge bullets bombs and air strikes
I don't know where the Japanese Embassy is but the Kempinski to City Centre is just a three minute walk, doable in any heat!
The biggest problem you'll have is crossing the main road in one piece. But I walked it yesterday and I'm still here to tell the tale.
Health wise, grab any chance to walk. Only the extreme heat of summer precludes anyone from walking.
Yes, but only in the winter!
