What to do in Doha when you only have 24 Hours.

First day of sight seeing. You will be our wing people. Hang on. Here is our hotel and a view from our room of Doha.

We took a half day tour of the city. But you need to fuel up first. Our tour guides visiting the buffet.

First stop along the way was The Pearl and the blue mosque. It is one of the only mosques designed by a women architect.

While in the mosque, we met two “local ladies.”

Next to the mosque we found these two buildings. No they are not for storing grain. They are for 12,000 pigeons who live in the area.

Next stop was a unique sculpture. It reminded me of Corbin. A butterfly trying to escape but dragging an iron ball.

Next stop was a museum dedicated to pearl divers. There were no free samples. Darn!

Our next stop was the presidential palace and the camels used for the daily royal procession. They are also available as Ubers in the afternoon.

One hobby here is falconry. A good bird is about $300. A great bird can run you $300,000. Here is a guy and his bird at the falcon hospital we visited.

This is where sick birds wait for the falcon doctor.

Here is where the owners wait.

We were nearing the end of our tour. One of the last stops was the Souq. It was a bazaar or market.

We learned that if you want to build a building it has to be unique and different. Some random shots from our tour to give you a flavor of their architecture.

Another great building.

The tour guides taking a quick break.

All good times come to an end. Here is the gang with Evelyn our official guide.

Before leaving for the airport for the next leg I wanted to think about the great day and sights we saw.

Off to the airport for our flight to Kenya.

STOP: The first sighting of a silverback!

See you in Kenya!
