Things you'll see in Doha

Often,  people ask what women wear in Qatar. Most people are surprised by how western the styles are. Yes, Qatari women wear the abaya and veil, but there are so many women in Qatar from all over the world, that there is always a mix of styles. And under the abaya, women wear jeans and designer clothes and lots of styles of shoes - especially designer shoes. Before I left, I took some pictures of billboards and items featured in storefront windows to give a sense of the diversity in Doha.

This is a storefront window in the shopping area in the Al Mana Tower where Stephen has been living.

 

This is a shop in the Souq

This billboard is one we passed whenever we walked to the Mega Mart.

The Writer Magazine has a feature asking readers to take a picture wherever in the world they take the magazine to read.  I submitted this one with the Doha skyline, the harbor, and the MIA in the background.

This is another shop in the Souq, where they sell fabrics, but the display suggests how the fabrics might be used.

Another billboard at the Amana Tower

Western styles are advertised everywhere you look.
