Several people asked me last summer what Doha looks like outside of my complex. I tried to explain it, but I thought I would now post a few pictures. The girls and I recently went for a short walk around a block just outside of our complex. Here you will see a lot of sand and construction. That really is the best way to describe most of Doha. It is one big construction zone in the middle of a sandy desert.
The open desert view as soon as we exit the housing complex.
Rocky terrain on the side of the road. There are no sidewalks.
Construction zones are walled off all around the city.
As we round the corner, here is a view of the main road.
Here is the view of the road from the other direction.
This is the final stretch, heading back to our complex.
This pretty much sums up what Doha looks like around our house. Downtown is actually developed and quite nice, but these pictures are the types of views we get on a daily basis. It sure does make running difficult each day!
