The new cultural village in Doha is now open. There will be restaurants, arts and crafts of different countries from all over the world. It will also be Qatar's focal point for international musical, arts and cultural festivals throughout the year.
The entrance to the Cultural Village
Persian carpet paintings on all the surrounding walls - I do have to admit I did go and have a feel just incase they were real - as anything goes in Qatar.
A beautiful looking mosque
Not to sure about these but they represent the islamic type of architecture seen at cultural sites around the middle east
The surrounding walls of a huge amphitheatre - they were busy setting up for the Doha Tribeca Film Festival.
Restaurants - of which not many are open yet.
And yes thats right in a cultural village a public beach where you can strip down to your bikini and bare your body for all the locals who have come for the 'cultural' experience...
Not sure how long this will last.
You know when you go for a walk along the waterfront at a beach and you like to sit on the wall and just gaze out to sea - well this is the wall where you are not allowed to do just that - why???? because security said so!!!!!
Seriously......
The beach even comes with its own ice cream shop - which just happened to be closed on this busy hot day - but it was Friday so I'll let this one go...
And here we are at The Pearl just next door - admiring all the huge boats!!!!
Love this one...
And its huge backside....
