Hotels in Doha - Prices and Reviews

On our way from Nairobi,Kenya.
Just a little stopover and our first delay..!!
Not much special to say, other than that we are finding out what the word RAMADAN will mean for us as we going to Dubaaaaii.

Furthermore...we apologize for sometimes the late stories and pics. But as we found out that the whole wide world is not completly ...

Well apparently the rumor that the fingeprint place is not open until noon is true. Got up early and at the request of the "local HR director" I tested the rumors.....it was closed. Went early at lunch on to see that 9-10 local labourers were already standing in line. It was a cool 106 degrees as I stood outside for only 20 minutes this time. Th...

I had to stop in Doha, Qatar for 2 nights on my way to Bangkok. It was a differnt experience especially being alone. The first night I was there I jumped up and almost fell out of bed because I was given such a fright. I had no idea what was going on I just heard this loud noise and chanting over a loud speaker. It sounded like it was right in m...

Po 8 in pol urnem letu, ki nas je pustil razocarane (dobili smo letalo brez individualnih ekranckov, na glavnih monitorjih pa so en film zavrteli 2x zapored....) smo prispeli v Doho in 8 urno cakanje na naslednji let se je pricelo.

But we could see the moon last night so it started today. Ramadan Kereem (Happy Ramadan!). It is the holiest month in which the revelation of the ...

We really have to work based on "operational requirements' which will be about 14 hours a day soon!! Anyway, what thi...

Fingerprinting 17 May 2006 (My mum's birthday - hope she had a good one) This was something that I had heard about and was not looking forward to. My escort ( a nice man from Sudan) and I went off at 8:45 am with our driver (an Indian) to the fingerprinting place. We went down some dusty alleyway to a gate that looked a bit like a prison camp fr...

To stay in Doha all the time is madness, from time to time I have to check on my sanity well being. However, to go out of the country all the time... well I have to work harder then, as this is not easy to do so. On the other hand my weekly break from office work is only one day. Thus, I have to spend it the best I can. There are not many object...
