Comments on: Doha Nightlife http://intlxpatr.wordpress.com/2008/06/17/doha-nightlife/ Expat currently living in Doha, Qatar Tue, 17 Nov 2009 00:33:06 +0000 http://wordpress.com/ hourly 1 By: intlxpatr http://intlxpatr.wordpress.com/2008/06/17/doha-nightlife/#comment-23247 intlxpatr Thu, 26 Jun 2008 13:27:13 +0000 http://intlxpatr.wordpress.com/?p=3131#comment-23247 Aafke - It is a total WOW. What I like the very best is that it mixes the traditional and the modern - it has made the souks a safe and welcoming place. I want visitors to see these places - like the Mubarakiyya in Kuwait - and get the feel of the shopping in the traditional shops, the dining outside, the smells of those meats roasting, and the children running and playing - it's all the pieces that go together to make a whole. I don't want western people to be afraid to go to the souks - some are. Oh Angelo, you are in for a treat. Mimfoy - I had my reservations about the renovation. I was so totally wrong. I hope you get to go back for a visit. No kidding, Pink! A boutique hotel? How totally cool is that? How will we know? Will you check back in here and tell us when it opens? I think Doha used to be sleepy, Amu. It was when I got there. Not any more! Hope you get your chance to go, Zahra! Aafke – It is a total WOW.

Definitely looking forward to visit Qatar someday. Doha has a terrific nightlife based on what I’ve been hearing (perhaps better than what we have here).
