Doha (Qatar) in 2006 was still under heavy construction in most areas. It aimed to be the next "Dubai" in the Middle East.
We checked-into our hotel for the night after arriving. The next day, we decided to take the four-wheeled drive into the desert to see the sunset (2nd row) before asking the driver to drop us off at a huge shopping centre (where there is an ice skating rink on the ground floor!). After our second night in Qatar, we returned to Singapore.
