. We
journey back from Asia. The most recent
have been three days in Qatar . "Qatar? Yes, a former British protectorate located east of the Arabian Peninsula, independent 40 years ago and become a paradigm of the petrodollar. Because money, wealth, opulence, the absence of conflict, are standard in the State of Qatar. A wonderful song
How did Contreras days Doha, capital of the emirate? DAY 1
Landing in the modern Doha airport. Ensuring that managers Qataris but do not talk with hand gestures go, ask for credit card directly to recover the amount of the visa and give back a Qatari riyals purchase without a word.
Arrival at noon at Gulf Horizon Hotel . Conversation with staff of the establishment of Nepalese nationality almost entirely. Qatar verification that the immigrant population native triples. Relax in the spacious room dominated by a small sign which indicates where to stand to pray and fast implementation of volunteer following the Ramadan . First
stroll through the traditional souks testing the 40 degrees in the shade that last all day. At night, walk among the impressive skyscrapers the area known as West Bay .
Is it Houston? Is Shicagou? Is Madrisa? No. Is the petrodollar.
(The sensualist collect clippings and you look right above that found recently, the West Bay area , nearly empty building in 2006. It's true, then, that these wonderful moles were constructed all in the last five years).
Mola The Moorish. Seriously:
Day 2 Rest of the hard life of tourists but there are few tourists here. Visit Villagio Mall , on the outskirts of Doha. Hallucination with luxury and exquisite design. Vast majority of establishments closed until late at night in pursuance of Ramadan.
you also closed? As we look to the sky ... shopping center
Back in one of the celestial taxis, driven by Indian or Pakistani. 35 degree heat all night. Visit the very cool zoc 
or Souq Waqif, respectful of traditional Arabic architecture and a refuge for sufferers of which have 35 degrees overnight. Stroll through shops, tea shops, restaurants and terraces. More Secret Life of ... Saudi
DAY 3
Preparing for a tight schedule. Visit the Museum of Islamic Art , great inside, outside and in their location; new finding that the Qataris are often using his mouth to speak. Ecstasy with the works of Arabic calligraphy and the study of many objects from the Iberian Peninsula.
not miss
Walk around the Doha West Bay, the area of \u200b\u200bskyscrapers, car rented for the occasion. Deduction moral: have committed the mistake of the hire-limousine of alleged - instead of going in a taxi from normalitos. Strong impression at the sight of buildings close to daylight.
Yes, the skyscrapers were built in the last five years . Cars, almost all 4 x 4.
Quote
to carry out an incursion into the desert south in an impressive 4 x 4 driven by a Qatari driver, who, when speaking, proves to English language proficiency. Abrupt end of the paved road and initiation of pirouettes, shuffles and exciting release in the dunes. New finding that, among the most attractive landscapes of the Earth, these formations are real sand. Re-run of unusually large dunes. Views on inland seas. Watching Saudi territory. Ecstasy to watch the sunset.
Oh! . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . Ah, the inland lake
What curves! .. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . Late afternoon and I forgot again ...
DAY 4 Transfer to airport and hotel courtesy van. Considering that it has great merit because the fuel is five times cheaper than in Europe. contemplation in the passport control queue in front of the counter that LADIES holds the title VERIFICATION. Wonder and excitement of the traveler to verify that this is the queue for women covered in black from top to bottom. Reflecting on the fact that Qatar is one of the countries most promotes the professional development of women. Farewell in the desert.
CONCLUSION As , we say that there is no single Morería that Qatar has little to do with Morocco and, indeed, the Arab Maghreb is not understood in the Arabian Peninsula.
This part of the world has no problems with theft or with economic woes. The financial crisis has affected minimally Qatar. So what they wanted you live one year old in this country? Or settle for the day Contreras was pulled beyond the sensualist? Do not like the pictures? Are the songs, either? Do not know athletes who have worked in Qatar? "No more songs about Saudi or the desert in general?
to see if they have one year to go there to make a visit to the sensualist!
But if it looks like a paso doble!
