Doha After Dark
The city when it actually wakes up: the souq at night, the skyline from the water and food worth staying out for.

Overview
The cheapest good hour in Doha. A traditional wooden dhow leaves the Corniche in the late afternoon, motors out into the bay, and sits there while the sun goes down behind West Bay and every tower in the skyline switches its lights on at once. Tea and dates on board. No commentary unless you want it. Bring a jacket — it is breezier on the water than you expect.
