Doha Hotels - Reviews and Rates

A long journey to leave Africa on our way to India, sees us stopped in Doha airport for 14 hours!! Luckily we have been allowed to leave the airport for only 20 of your British pounds, fairly reasonable except Victoria then dragged me (Ian and Nobby) around a shopping mall ;) Lots of british shops (Topshop included for Victoria's excitement) tho...

Flying with the staff of Qatar Airways was a pleasure. Not only do I think that Seth could charm free gifts out of anyone. He now has a plush Qatar Airways plane, backpack, pencils, sunglasses, wallet, etc. I think, due to the fact he flies so well, people walk out see him and, "there was a child on the plane?" This varies from their reactions c...

I have added some photos of snow in Washington. My trousers are not meant to withstand snow and wind as I walk to work, shops, eateries etc. I like DC. It was very easy to get around as all street were numbers - North to South and letters - east to West. Diagonal Streets were named after states and were called avenues e.g. White House was on Pen...

Day off : all indians, sri lankais, indonesians, philippinos... are outside. A crawdly sea of men, chating, wasting time, waiting for tomorrow to go back to work. No choice among the best. Sadness

Qatar is a small country, trap between the sea and Saudi, which is only less than two hour drive from Doha. As a single girl, I could not drive to Dubai by myself or with any male companion, as it is forbidden to drive through Saudi; the wrong gender! To spend a long holiday only in Doha could drive me insane, thus whenever I have the opportunit...

Having able to travel as I want to is a really exiting, and having a good companion is a luxury that I could never resist. Out of a blue a colleague suggested to have a little holiday break for the Ied holiday, out from Qatar to any place of my choice. Certainly, I would never miss this opportunity. The question is where to go? Arabian countries...

Toga We are working 6 days weeks now at the office, with only Friday off. The days are short because of Ramadan, but soon we'll be doing 7:30-2:30 from Sunday to Thursday and then 9-2PM on Saturdays -- that's scheduled of course. We really have to work based on "operational requirements' which will be about 14 hours a day soon!! Anyway, what thi...

Well folks, I made it!!!! The flight was killer. I spent so much time sitting, my legs hurt. I touched down in London at about 5 am your time. London Heathrow airport was so confusing. I got lost and almost cried. The people there were so rude and not helpful at all. I was thinking of doing some site seeing while in London on my way back, but I ...

Trip to the Post Office Thursday night 18 May 2006 My mum and dad do not have internet so I have decided to write them a letter or two. I wrote the first and only one so far while I was at the Grand Regency - 9 May 2006 - yes last week. I used their letterhead and envelope as they looked very impressive. Only one thing - the envelope does not ha...
