Doha 101

A January 2004 trip to Doha by dary11

Qatar? What good can anyone say about this barren, dusty peninsula exiting out of the Arabian peninsula? It's got money! They're spending like crazy on sports facilities, a new airport, and roads, but the sudden boom to the country's fortunes has made Qatar a congested, sun-baked trap.

The Ritz-Carlton DohaBest of IgoUgo

Hotel | "The Ritz-Carlton"

Best Things Nearby:
Beach

Best Things About the Resort:
It's away from Doha, where you can relax.

Resort Experience:
Seek solace at the Ritz or even the Intercontinental or Marriott - let's face it, there's really not much happening in this city to trouble yourself with. But give it 5 years and this place will probably be awesome - if they can learn from Dubai's mistakes.
