The construction in Doha, the largest city in Qatar, seemed to be endless. Its seems to be a town that has almost sprung up over night and has been trying to establish itself as the commerce and cultural center on the Arabian Peninsula, in a similar way to Dubai. Unlike Dubai, Doha is built on a foundation of Oil and even under the recent financial crisis, it is still growing.

Doha is a place that can only be experienced from a distance, it is hard to get close to anything.
