Here are some photos of our weekend in Doha

The Souq Waqif

Amid the dust and heat of Doha, where the wind carries the scent of spice and the murmur of ancient tongues, there stands the Souq Waqif, a labyrinth of shadowed alleys and sunlit courtyards, where the past lingers in the breath of the present.

Here, merchants call in voices thick with history, their stalls heavy with the weight of saffron and oud, their fingers tracing the lines of woven silks as if reading the fate of the desert.

In the twenty first century Brazilian tourists join the crowd, dressed in Arab Kanduras., while the locals look on in amusement.
