All Alone in Doha
So I'm stuck here for the weekend. The residence visa is still being worked on, and I can't leave until it goes in my passport.
What do I do with myself?
Smutty and sensible suggestions are all welcome.

Or you could try the Cigar Lounge at the Ritz, they play some good jazz.

Re: All Alone in Doha
The Pearl Lounge is at the Marriott, actually, and I hated it when I went last time. Probably because I was made to feel less welcome than something very unwelcome, and was told there were no tables free, even though the joint was empty.

There is also the Admiral's Club, have been there once, not too bad at the time I was there.
As I said before, for in depth info on places to go over here, Qatar Living seems to be the resource.

They have a Champagne/Caviar/Cigar bar thingy at the Ramada, also a couple of other places that 'should' be open in the new building (but this is the ME so god knows if its actually finished or not)
The Ramada has a pub/club on the 1st floor (I think) called Sheharazad, grotty and frequented by undesirable types after a certain time. Ramada also has The Library on the top floor which is quite nice.
Ramada also has Qube, nightclub which Ive heard is actually not bad. The Pearl is at the Marriot.
Unfortunately Im gonna say what everyone says, get a copy of Marhaba! for numbers/times etc.
The sheraton has a nice bar called the 'Watering Hole'? I think, with an Asia d'Cuba restaurant at the side of it....atrocious Philipino band, which is worth a laugh especially when they do an evanescance number.
Hope that helps, welcome to Doha, you poor devil!
