Sam and Lianna have been busy visiting some interesting sights beyond the city limits. There are a variety of activities that take place in the desert that don't involve dune bashing.... Sheik Faisal's Museum is a large collection of buildings with an odd collection of items. You can spend hours wandering amid old cars, tapestries, pottery, paintings, swords.
On weekends the Losail Race Track is very busy. It is loud and fast! The boys went on Friday night to watch a Porsche GT3 race. The cars raced at speeds over 200 km/hour.
The Pearl is another area on the edge of town that warrants a few hours of wandering. It is a man-made collection of islands that has condos, marinas, shops, restaurants and lots of view.
And then, of course, there is the beach. Qatar is a peninsula surrounded by the beautiful green water of the Gulf. A stroll on the beach in the northern part of the country is actually pleasant at this time of year.

What a fun time for all and so special to share your experiences. An incredible opportunity for the boys friends. My niece lived in Dubai for a couple of years and had the same to say about dune bashing.
