Tuesday June 5 Delhi to Doha

By 1.20 am we were on our way to the airport. Check-in was straight forward. We've had lots of practice, this was the eleventh of thirteen flights for this trip. We landed in Doha and checked into the plush accommodations. After breakfast at the hotel we ventured out into the city centre.

Qatar is perhaps the wealthiest country in the world on a GDP per capita ranking. That certainly showed with the impressive array of innovative architectural designs of the skyscrapers. We were dropped off at the huge city centre mall. The mall features many western outlets and an ice skating rink. About a quarter of the men wore the long white robes called thowbs with white guettras held in place with a burnoose. About a quarter of the women wore black abayas.

 In the evening we walked out into the old Souk (Souq Waqif). There were collections of various stores. One area specialized in kitchen ware, another perfumes, and another pets. After a delicious meal, we returned to the hotel to ready ourselves for the final flights home.
