Ugly Doha ...
Some cities in the world are well known for being unloved. People like to say that the best place to be in Brussels is on the train to Paris. But such is the oppressive heat, not to mention the oppressive political culture of Doha, that foreign residents cannot even find a witticism to disparage the Qatari capital.

I think one of its most redeeming points may be that it has few British expats.
