Sharq Village & Spa Doha

Today for something to do we decided (well I decided) that we would go and check out the 'Sharq Village & Spa" - as all the pictures I had seen were amazing.


This is the street frontage


One of the two swimming pools we came across


The hotel rooms around the pool


Walking down towards the hotels private beach - there were some pretty sizeable boats in the marina


Beachside loungers






One of the many luxury cars parked outside - a beautiful stretch rolls royce!!! This photo does not do it justice.

A flower arrangement inside the hotel - all the hotels have these amazing floral centrepieces. There was also a water fountain filled with red and white rose petals.

It was the most beautiful place and you could have  been almost  anywhere in the world - looks like pure luxury - that is until a Qatar Airways Jumbo Jet flew over - you could almost reach out and touch it. Unfortunately this place has been built right over the road from the end of the runway - not very good planning, and here most planes depart at night time.
There was an article in the local paper reviewing one of the suites in the hotel - it is supposed to be the most luxurious suite in the world - royal villa.
