2011 Qatar National Day

By Ninstravelog @ninstravelog

About two years ago, I posted my photo essay about how Qatar celebrate their National Day: Qatar National Day. This year, I did not go the that parade, an National Parade, I thought that was enough, but I want to see something else.

Yes, Qatar government still held that parade in the morning, but in the afternoon they were having fireworks by the Corniche. Last year I watched it with some friends as through a balcony of a restaurant that has a very nice location to see the fireworks, This year I decided to skip all that fancy dinner and just go down there, where the action happen, and these are the picture of what I’ve seen at the Corniche of Doha:
