I used to look forward to every Friday mornings when I could go to Palm Tree Island, to sit in a lounger near the beach, with a good book in one hand and a hubbly bubbly (sheesha) in the other. A roving waiter ready to take your order if you get hungry/thirsty...a hideaway paradise away from the humdrum of Doha. We used to go there at night during the Ramadan to enjoy the buffet they serve...all for QAR20 to cover your boat fare to and from the island.
They took it away except for that lone (yup,it's not even a palm) tree. Some said they tore it down because of the Asian Games and afterwards will put up a resort with accommodation wherein you could stay overnight.
I'm still waiting for that (ridiculous, isn't it?)because now, you have to travel (very far) to Al Wakra or Sealine beach resort...I'd rather stay in bed than do that 45 minutes to one hour drive to the beach.

Hope they bring it back or something...
