Visit to Qatar, in Doha, the capital city and home to 50% of the country’s population. Doha is a mixture of old and new, traditional and modern. Strolling on the sea-front Corniche, you will be struck by the expanding and rising urban skyline, while dhows line the quays on the other side and the Palm Tree Island beckons from the centre of the bay. You would start your trip with a visit to the Al Shaqab Stud owned by the Emir, which is situated at Al Rayyan, on the outskirts of Doha. There are pure-bred Arab show and racing horses at this stud farm as well as a riding school and this has been turning out to be a very interesting place for visitors. Visit to the Qatar National Museum, which houses traditional wares and costumes and offers a Glimpse into the countries past. On the way back, (if time permits) you would visit the falcon hospital, where falcons are treated for various illnesses and even surgeries are performed!
