Doha

Doha means 'the big tree; in Arabic. It is not quite clear why. Located on the eastern and the only really large city in the country. Almost 80% of all Qatari's live there. So it is not suprising that Doha is where it all happens in Qatar.

The main sights in the city are the museums, the old fort, the many mosques and the Corniche. The seashore street lined with palm trees and a relaxing sea breeze makes Doha a pleasant town to spend some time in. The lively markets are another good way to spend an afternoon.
