Doha catching up with Dubai

On a recent visit to Doha, I went all around the city to get a sense of what it is all about. Check out some of the photographs of the upcoming developments in the neighborhood. Doha has always rivaled Dubai in sharing the limelight and has worked hard to change its image of a 'sleepy city'.


We got the 'Palm', they got the 'Pearl'

Property Development on Pearl Qatar



Pearl Qatar Entrance




Upcoming Building on Pearl Qatar



Yacht Dock in Pearl Qatar - Similar to the one in Dubai Marina



Retail Area - Pearl Qatar, looks like Marina Walk in Dubai



Doha Skyline umm = Dubai Marina ;)



Doha Corniche - Few Year's ago only the small building (extreme right - Doha Sheraton) was on the corniche



More Development in the city, although the building are yet to be occupied



They call it the Zig Zag Buildings



Old Souk in Doha - Just like the one in Dubai


The city is cautiously progessing with rapid development of property and infrastructure. All the best Doha.

I will be in Dubai on business next week - how easy is it to drive to Doha (and especially to the race circuit)

Hi Sarah,

You gotta drive to Doha via Saudi Arabia border..no clue on the exact location of the race circuit though..roads are pretty smooth in Doha
