11-06-15: We finally touch the Persian Gulf!

Our last full day in Doha has been incredible!  We packed so much into this day!

These are the chairs in the lobby!

 After we left the giant shoes, we walked across the street and stepped into the water for the fist time!  It was so very warm!  We didn't stay long because we weren't sure who owned the property and it was also very rocky!

The shallowness of the water meant it was WARM!

We then took a cab ride to the area called Katara.  We got to go swimming for real!  The water was so warm and so salty!  It was very deep but we kept on floating!


Photographs on the beach were prohibited!  As was walking barefoot across to the beach from the changing area!

After swimming we went to a Lebanese restaurant and had tabouleh, moutabal, dilijian birds and sambousek for lunch!

Only one of us was brave enough to try the birds!  Guess who it was!

After lunch. we explored the cultural center and climbed to the top of the amphitheater.

A cool statue called "Force of Nature" that is in front of the amphitheater.

We ended our time with another trip to the Souq Waqif.  This time we had Turkish food for dinner!

Shawarma!
So tasty!

As this post is going live, we have about 8 hours until we leave with a wake up call in 4 hours and 30 minutes!  We travel to London and then Montreal and then home!  If we get to do any sightseeing in London, we'll be sure to post some pictures!

See you all Monday!
