Box 22686, Doh Qatar Location: Corniche Key points: -Close to the sea (not the beach) but you need to cross the road to get to the Corniche - Excellent access to the soukhs (local markets) Ramada Hotel (three star) Tel: +974 4417417 Address: PO Box 1768, Doha, Qatar Location: C Ring Road While the pool is great for kids, but the night life at the Ramada’s nightclubs can be plain seedy at times (although if you are a single man back from three months on an oil rig you might like that), and the band absolutely awful. (I though it was Karoake Night the first time I went there). On the other hand, they are very active and put on shows and events such as the Laughter factory (well worth a visit), and the alcohol is reasonably priced (for Qatar). It’s situated a few kilometres away from the sea. Key points: - lots of things on - long way from the sea - bars and clubs popular with expats |
