You will find Orangery Café Trottoir located in the front, facing C Ring Road, with inside and outside seating. The high class atmosphere, giant windows and high ceiling gives it a grand look. The chocolate shop and ice-creams are worth a try. The cafe has got real orange plants giving the ambience a fresh feel.

On my recent trip to Dubai, I saw these ads displayed on the Departure Immigration Lobby of the Terminal 3 - Dubai International Airport. Interesting to see Qatar reaching out to Dubai to promote this campaign and spread the message; further I was amazed to see the latter lending support.

Souq Waqif is one of the most popular destinations in Doha City, which attracts many tourists. The location has an excellent ambience with blend of ancient and modern look. The place hosts sale of various entities ranging from fox skin to live animals to artifacts. Check out some pics - I don't know if these animals are being sold on a legal basis though.

Had a meal at Aryaas in Doha, Qatar..but got a bit confused with its status on being a veg or non-veg restaurant. Hey Aryaas - make up your mind.

Recently we had a office get together at a party hosted at the 8 Boulevard residential apartments located in Old Down Town area near Burj Khalifa. The party was hosted at the 35th floor (top most floor of the building). I couldn't resist taking few pics from the apartment gallery capturing the down town area in my camera. Check out these pics..

Check out few pics of post Dubai Mall Aquarium Leakage event. You can see various people involved in draining out the water from the mall. As soon as I entered the parking lot, there was hose pipe extended across the Fashion Car Park. Many security officials barred people from entering the aquarium area. Largely the mall continued to function in ususal fashion welcoming visitors. Hose

Check out the Skyline of the New Dubai Area (Dubai Marina). The shots have been taken from midst of the sea giving a holistic view. The city's skyline is what one might envision for any major Middle East city, with some notable exceptions.

Last week I was treated for an awesome yacht ride across the new Dubai area by my darling spouse. I was startled to discover some of the less known side of Dubai.

One of the most welcoming resorts ever in Umm Al Quwain, UAE. My weekend stay was made very comfortable by the hospitable staff of the Palma Beach Resort, which has an antique Egyptian look and feel. It may not be a totally authentic look, but keeping in mind that it being a holiday resort the look and feel of the hotel fits the bill amicably. The boat ride from the resort is fun

On a recent visit to Doha, I went all around the city to get a sense of what it is all about. Check out some of the photographs of the upcoming developments in the neighborhood. Doha has always rivaled Dubai in sharing the limelight and has worked hard to change its image of a 'sleepy city'. We got the 'Palm', they got the 'Pearl' Pearl Qatar from the Sky Far View of Pearl Qatar
