I’ve been in Doha, Qatar since the start of the new year running a conference for work. As part of an effort to let attendees relax and get to know the country better, our partners organized a caravan of off-road vehicles to take us romping around the desert near the Saudi border. The ride was actually quite gentle compared to my past experience, but it was still thrilling to cruise along the very edge of a dune, and bounce around the desert for a while.
This experience of course reminded me of our full-day swimming, romping and dune-boarding adventure in Egypt. While this trip was shorter due to time constraints, it was great to see some more of Qatar. I think everyone who came was happy to get out of the city (I am a city girl but I need frequent doses of nature), and more importantly, to get away from the conference center and have a few laughs without spending half their rent on a glass of wine.
Sorry for the late reply. Again you gave us a little taste of your experience. I can sense a little displeasure with Qartar. Nothing like your excitement with Cuba, or Egypt. I guess I won’t be vacationing in Qatar. Keep traveling, keep writing, and keep your camera handy. I always look forward to your critique after. Joe O.
Looks like fun! 🙂
