Qatar without oil and gas might still look like this.

But Qataris in 2015 are some of the richest citizens in the world. Doha is a boom town.

You can still get a feel for the historical Arab culture at the old market.

Our hotel was close to the Islamic museum, the #1 tourist attraction.

I ran around the park property many times in one week.

The Pearl-Qatar is is an artificial island spanning nearly four million square metres. It is the first land in Qatar to be available for freehold ownership by foreign nationals. … the project will cost $15 billion upon completion.

Farewell Qatar. 🙂

I hope to be back for the 2018 World Gymnastics Championships.
