This blog is now out of order but I didn’t write about Qatar National Day which is on the 18 December. It marks the beginning of Qatar as we know it and the Emir at that time winning battles to remove the Turks from Qatar
This year for the first time they had a major parade along the Corniche. Steve and I went along and standing beside me were a lovely Qatari family. The teenage daughter happily chatted away and explained what was happening if I wasn’t sure.
It was such fun and we were thanked by locals for sharing their special day with them - how cool is that. The day ended with great fireworks and a lazer light show over the water- this is a great little country
I have put some photos showing the progression of the parade from olden days to nowadays. I will post more on my facebook page if you want to see more of them them .
