Day 1

doha - qatar

Departure: 16:00

Doha is the capital of Qatar. The capital of Qatar is developing into a large metropolis and is becoming a major business centre. Doha is a delightful blend of traditional and modern Arab life. The city skyline, still under construction, is very unique and quite fascinating to look at. Each building is very distinct and yet doesn't seem to leave the Arabian feel too far behind. Life in Doha revolves around the Corniche, the long seaside promenade along Doha Bay, a perfect place to relax and enjoy the lovely views of Palm Tree Island and the city's skyscrapers. The north contains most of the historic sites, including Umm Salal Mohammed, a relatively large village dominated by the ruins of a 19th-century fort. Particularly interesting are the Grand Mosque with its many domes and the Abu Bakir al-Siddiq Mosque. On the west coast there are fine beaches at Umm Bab, Dukhan and Salwah near the Saudi border. The south is a region of sand dunes and beaches, offering opportunities to go pearl hunting, or to practice a variety of watersports. If you should tire of city life, the rest of Qatar is virtually on the doorstep, offering some splendid scenery and interesting historical attractions to those with a taste for adventure.

Day 11-12

male, maldives

Arrival: 08:00 - Departure: 22:00

Malé is an príomhchathair agus an chathair is mó daonra sa Phoblacht Mhaldiví. Le daonra de 133,412 agus achar de 5.8 cileaméadar cearnach, tá sé freisin ar cheann de na cathracha is mó daonra ar domhan. Tá an chathair suite go geografach ag imeall theas Atoll Thuaidh Malé (Atoll Kaafu). Riarachánach, tá an chathair comhdhéanta as oileán lárnach, oileán aerfoirt, agus dhá oileán eile atá faoi rialú ag Comhairle Cathrach Malé. Go traidisiúnta, ba é Oileán an Rí é, as ar rialaigh na seandínastachtaí ríoga agus as ar bhí an phálás. Ansin tugadh Mahal ar an gcathair. Roimhe sin, ba chathair fhaillíodh í a bhí timpeallaithe ag daingniúcháin agus geataí (doroshi). Scriosadh an Pálás Ríoga (Gan'duvaru) mar aon leis na daingniúcháin áille (kotte) agus na bastúnna (buruzu) nuair a rinneadh athmhúnlaigh ar an gcathair faoi riail Uachtarán Ibrahim Nasir i ndiaidh dhíghabhála na monarchaíochta in 1968. Mar sin féin, tá Mosc Dé hAoine Malé fós ann. Le blianta beaga anuas, tá an t-oileán méadaithe go mór trí oibríochtaí líonadh talún. Thar na blianta, bhí Malé mar lárionad d'agóidí polaitiúla agus d'imeachtaí míleamhair.
