There is so much to see of Qatar beyond the city and a day trip to Northern Qatar is perfect for the intrepid explorer. Many villages and towns in Qatar have…
Camel races in Qatar took me back in time: to a time when bedouin Arabs were indebted to the camel. Long before the skyscrapers and the roads appeared for Ferraris and…
Musfur Sinkhole is the deepest and relatively easiest cave to access in Qatar. This of course implies that there are other caves in Qatar but I haven’t been able to confirm…
