they are the ones on the left.

[suzan]

heyy those are not the towers!! the towers are not even under construction as i see in the place where it is supposed to be !!

anyone else know about this?

[Halawala]

I think for some reason, their signs and billboards are located far from the actual tower. And also check out the Al Maha Sofitel Hotel underconstruction thread here. They do look the same.

[zx]

look closely Suzan, can u see any difference:

[suzan]

ya, and both will look nice after done

[Halawala]

Guys, I was in Doha yesterday and I passed by yesterday in that area and they are almost done with these towers. They are putting the "domes" on top. But, work is sloooooooow.

[omarmakki]

10x for the pics Bert!
But... The road really needs some cleaning!

[Qatar Son 333]

the rain will clean it

[omarmakki]

the rain will clean it
lol! You're right! :D
It should be shiny clean by now after yesterday's rain!

[Qatar Son 333]

it should you know !!!!

[Qatarifreak]

I love that street. Imagine driving through there at night, between all of the lit skyscrapers! It's going to be great.
Omar, we can soon have a Fast and Furious movie take place in Doha. LOL>

[omarmakki]

lool! That would be "wicked"! :D

[Qatar Son 333]

wat do you mean

[omarmakki]

Qatarifreak, your post about cars just reminded me of something...
Yesterday's AWESOME cameras Aljazeera placed at the roads leading to the Khalifa Stadium! I was watching it and checking out every single car, and of course I saw two Ferrari F430 Spider's , a BMW M5, an SLK55 AMG, a yellow Brabus CL-Class, a G55 AMG, a couple of limos and a bling bling Bentley Continental GT with a flashy blue color and shiny aftermarket rims.

It was just so awesome!! :D

[Qatar Son 333]

nice of you to injoy it omar

[Qatarifreak]

NICE!

Lol you know what, since i'm a huge movie buff, these days i can't help thinking that shooting an action movie in doha would rock! Imagine a scenario that would involve lots of stunts, the aspire tower, street racing, boat racing around the pearl, west bay skyscrapers, me (lol j/k), and desert scenes. This movie would rule! :|

Car chase from Ronin + Boat chase from The World is Not Enough + Shooting scene from Running Scared + some Cuban swearing from Scarface :D + my all time favourite scene of bowling from The Big Lebowski would properly rule!! :lol:

[Halawala]

Nice find, BERT.

Anyone notice how they put the sign on the MOVENPICK hotel?

[suzan]

I did!!!!!!!!!
But it's small, isnt it??

[Halawala]

I did!!!!!!!!!
But it's small, isnt it??

From the above pic its small, but better this way since it might destory the architecture of the hotel. Dont you think?

[Qatar Son 333]

[amrja]

Omar - did the blue Bentley have the tijariyah license plate? If it did, I was just next to it in traffic an hour ago, I loved the colour! That is one sexy-ass car...

[Qatar Son 333]

loool :) ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

[omarmakki]

lol! I really couldn't tell what the plates were on TV. It wasn't that clear! :D
But you're absolutely right! The car looked so hot in that color!

[Qatar Son 333]

you mean black and blue you bet it did

[POWER OF QATAR]

If you’re wondering why they look very similar to the Qtel and the four seasons buildings cause they are all owned by the same family. (Brothers)

they're short

[Qatar Son 333]

good updates

[Halawala]

I think the towers are completed and even furnished--since the domes are not part of the structure and therefore completing them is not integral in the overall design.

I dont think so, but its completed a long time ago. No need for that.

So are you but you don't see us complaining.
