A Few More Randoms of Saudi Buildings

Just a few random photos of the Kingdom Tower.


Side on view

The main entrance - but you get dropped off at the front door.

At night time the lights in the curve change colour



A very fancy looking hospital - all the private hospitals look like this.

Weekend in Qatar

Last weekend I had a "get out of jail free" card so I went to Qatar for the weekend to see my darling Nicholas xx

It was Ramadan (so shops are closed all day) and really hot and humid so there was not too much to do (ho hum!!) but Nick has just bought a new camera so we went out and took some pics with it.

(If you click on the images they come up larger)



I hate having my photo taken but just for Nick I let him take a couple of me (for the sole purpose of testing out the new camera) This is taken at an Indian restaurant.

The photographer himself.




Driving into "The Pearl" (similar to The Palm in dubai)


The big one is mine!!




Down these corridors are all designer stores - a pair of jeans will set you back approx $1000 AUD.

Inside the shopping areas


The new Rolls Royce Showroom has just opened up - it is part of Nicks company so we went to have a look - these cars are so beautiful..... and $$$$$



I love this one

They have window displays like this and yet they are cracking down on what the expats are wearing in Qatar.

Had to take this picture - this building reminds me of something ....mmmmm wonder what???


It was so nice to see water.
