Northern Qatar
To see a little more than the capital Doha, while visiting Qatar, I booked an afternoon excursion to the northern parts of Qatar. The country is small and the roads are in a good condition, which makes it fast and easy to travel around. The first stop was in the fishing village Al Khor where they also have a corniche running along the bay, around which the village is spread out.
A date palm.
Our next stop was in Al Jassasiya where we had a look at rock carvings. Some hundred years ago the sea level was much closer to the rocks where the carvings were made and it's believed that seamen carved the figures while waiting for their ships.
