Great pictures. This photo of the Four Seasons Hotel (on the right) is unlike any I've seen before. It's surreal, like something from Gotham City or a comic book.


By the way, the similar buildings to the left (with the two identical domes): what are they called? Who is the building tenant or tenants?

[MillenniaL]

Thanks power -mad
Hehehehe .. to be honest with you man , I used Photoshop to create this effect and the original picture is a little different
About your question… the tower on the right is the Q-tel headquarter while the one on the left side is the four season hotel ( the whole project called the west bay complex)

I knew something was amiss. Or you just happen to be one of the world's greatest hereto unknown photographers. Thanks for the info, buddy.

How tall is this building? Looks awesome!

[B-Patriot]

Yes, it really is a nice tower...I counted approximately 28 stories....If i had to guess i'd say its around 125m tall...

No doubt a city under great development, petty that is one of the worst drivers in the world. Easy to get killed in a roundabout than in Chinatown or other gangster neighbour .

The lack of respect when driving is absolutely crazy.

To much money but no sence, sorry.

If you lived there you HAVE to agree

[Active Observer]

Have you lived there ? If so, have you ever had a car acident ?

Because if you had, with a national you know that you never right !!!

Also is the city where, if you know someone you will go somewhere.

Its a great place no doubt, but go and live there, do you know what is racism ????? I know, i have lived in a country where we white people had to walk in one side of the road and the black people have to walk in the othr side. Let me tell you in Qatar is very, ver clear. Qatari first, white/expat after, after will be Chinese, Indians and latest Sri Lanka and Nepalese.

Go to a supermarket and you see that when you wanna pay.

Heyyy this is 2006, should not exist god/profet sake.

But yes is a lovely place, no doubt.

I have hundreds of Qatari frinds, they tell me they are ashamed because they have never lift one harm to build they country.

[Halawala]

You are right, Qataris dont lift one arm to build their country. They lift TWO.

Racism exists everywhere including Qatar.

About driving conditions you are are 100% right.

there's no way you could have one single qatari friend, much less hunderds as you claim. qataris are very hard workers, you can see them everywhere trying to take part in the modernization & development of the country. go to oil fields, go to oil rigs in the middle of the gulf, you can spot them working as engineers and civil construction supervisiors on road projects, under bridges & over tunnles.

we for sure, appreciate the work that have been made by foreign labours, but if it wasn't for qatari minds and planning, non of these could ever be achived.
as for driving, i suggest you go and have a look at cities like cairo, mumbai or beirut, instead of dispelling misconception and attacking people with malicious rumors.

next time, post a comment when you have an objective & negotiable matter to discuss, otherwise "soi belle et tais toi". have a good day.

Take this as an advice. DON'T EVER TRY driving in Cairo! You will regret it! Seriously!

[Maltaboy]

Doha looks very attractive and nice in these pictures, but I suspect that these pictures are at least 5 years old.

If you were to see the same places now, you would find that the entire place is covered with construction crane and skyscrapers under development.

Doha is changing at an incredible pace a la Dubai and these photos, attractive as they are, do not reflect the current Doha.

[Halawala]

Malta you are right--the pics are old, but still good.

I like Qataris, and have many qatari friends - but I would never accuse them of being hard working!!

Go to oil fields, oil rigs, road projects etc, and you will find them being managed by Europeans, Lebanese and Egyptians. Tha Qataris are the ones drifting in late, spending all day on their mobiles, and drinking coffee!!

And as for driving, the United Nations publish objective statistics on road accidents (I will find them and publish them if you are genuinely interested). I can not remember the actual numbers but it is a provable fact that Qatar (& Saudii & UAE for that matter) has one of the worst accident statistics in the world!! Worse than Mumbai or Egypt!!

It can not be blamed on poor road conditions like some undeveloped countries but is due purley to poor driving habits.

If you are a Qatari, ask yourself how many of your friends have been seriously injured or killed in a car accident.

- accidents happens because of speeing, not necessiarly because of reckless driving. the statics you mentioned was talking about accidents in comaprison to population, not because it's the highest in the world.

-non of my friends got killed because of an accident, so far. people here speed, but it doesn't gets dangerous or life threatining like in US highways, where you might get shot if you overtake a speeding driver.

congratulations! you've so far managed to know the total precentage of local people who work, and those who spent time talking on the phone.

FYI, many oil & gas sectors in the country is managed by locals, who proved to be a hard workers, again, and got certifcates of excellence by major international oil & gas comapnies operating in the country.

having few who'd lazy & irresponsible doesn't mean that you should generalize, otherwise, we qatari forumers w'd sit back & let you do the job for us & do the posting.

[Halawala]

Guys, as for road accidents-- there is a serious problem here that we need to deal with. I totally agree with Tallsmurf. The number of Qataris and non-Qataris for that matter killed in Qatar is enourmous, and its only getting worse. No one can deny this fact. Read the newspapers everyday, so and so died and he is 18. So and so died and he is 24. Most of these young people died because of accidents which could have been prevented. Trust me on this issue.

--As for hardworking. There are alot of Qataris drinking coffee and sitting in an office all day. ALSO, there are much more hard working Qataris who work extremely hard in their jobs.

--Saying that most or a lot of Qataris sit around and do nothing all day is totally absurd and lame. I am not saying this because I am Qatari, I am saying this because of personal experience with Qatari family members who seldom see their families-- only at night and when they wake up next morning.

Maybe your ISP has this ************ blocked...

The UAE also blocked flickr. Try refreshing it numerous times.
