QATAR---Home to the world's
biggest collection of Islamic art, Qatar's wonders are distinctive and varied, including a mystical 'inland sea', colourful souks, and a famous corniche. The highlight of Doha is surely
the corniche. Doha Bay was carefully sculpted with landfill to make an attractive crescent, along which run shaded footpaths and cycling tracks. A top place to begin is at Ras Abu Abboud St flyover at the southeastern end. From here, walk or drive to Sheraton Doha, taking in landmarks like Pearl Monument, the spiral-tapered
Qatar Islamic Cultural Center and candy-twisted
Al-Biddar Tower that defies gravity. [
