My Trip to Qatar
I went to Qatar on vacation last month. I flew there on a plane. It was a long flight! When I got off the plane in Qatar, it was very hot. Qatar is a desert country. It is very hot and dry there. I took a taxi to my hotel. On the way, I saw very tall modern buildings. But some buildings had traditional Islamic designs too. My hotel was next to the Corniche. That's a waterfront walkway along the ocean. I walked along the Corniche and saw fancy buildings on one side and the blue water on the other side. One day I went to the Museum of Islamic Art. It had a lot of cool old pottery, textiles, jewelry and books. Some of them were over 1,000 years old! I also went to the Souq Waqif. That's an old-fashioned outdoor market. I tried some traditional Arabic foods like rice and meat dishes. I drank Arabic coffee. On my last day I went to the desert outside the city. We rode dune buggies up and down the sand dunes. We watched the sunset. It was beautiful. Then we had a barbecue dinner
