Souq Waqif in the old part of Doha is the only remaining traditional standing market (souq) in the gulf. Whilst a tourist attraction in its own right, it is also a central daily shopping hub for many Qataris. It is a maze of narrow covered streets separated into areas specialising in different things. You can buy daily food, local fruits, clothes, and many items that are aimed at visitors. There are many restaurants and coffee bars to relax and watch the hectic world of the Souq go by. The area is also full of porters with wheelbarrows, who can take all your purchases back to your car. This is a great option as parking isn’t easy and often not close. @visitqatar #visitQatar #doha #visitdoha #fsdoha #souk #souqwasif #tbin #travelwriter #travel #instatravel #travelgram #wanderlust #ilovetravel #instatravelling #instavacation #travelblogger #instapassport #postcardsfromtheworld #presstrip #traveltheworld #igtravel #getaway #instago #travelpics #ttot #instatbn #writetotravel

The night view from the upper party deck of Nobu, looking back at the Four Seasons Hotel and the Doha shoreline of glittering towers. Each hotel and building has its own unique design and is a paradise for architects to build truly unique designs. The use of colour to stimulate and entertain the viewer is amazing. Some buildings change colours throughout the night so no two photos will ever be the same. And the view is enhanced by sipping cold sake at Nobu, probably the finest restaurant in all of Qatar. Watch out for my post and review. @visitqatar #visitQatar #doha #visitdoha #fsdoha #nobudoha #tbin #travelwriter #travel #instatravel #travelgram #wanderlust #ilovetravel #instatravelling #instavacation #travelblogger #instapassport #postcardsfromtheworld #presstrip #traveltheworld #igtravel #getaway #instago #travelpics #ttot #instatbn #writetotravel #desert #nobu

The Intercontinental Doha gives us an amazing view down onto the pool and far reaching skyline across #Qatar. It is located on Doha’s longest private beach with a range of restaurant and recreational activities as well as this shimmering azure blue pool. But no time for the pool today as we are about to head off into the desert for dune bashing, kite surfing and a picnic by the sea. @visitqatar #visitQatar #tbin #travelwriter #travel #instatravel #travelgram #wanderlust #ilovetravel #instatravelling #instavacation #travelblogger #instapassport #postcardsfromtheworld #presstrip #traveltheworld #igtravel #getaway #instago #travelpics #ttot #instatbn #writetotravel

While #Qatar is full of contemporary architecture there are still plenty of places where you'll find living examples of traditional #Arabic lifestyle. The Corniche waterfront promenade in #Doha extends for kilometres along the picturesque bay - there, you will find plenty of #dhow lining the banks - traditional Qatari sailing boats, used in the past by merchants and fishermen. These are some of the Dhows at anchor opposite the fabulous Museum of Islamic Art. You can hire these historic wooden boats for an amazing coastal tour in true #Bedouin style. Simon from #londonunattached is just back from a trip where he's been learning more about Qatari lifestyle and enjoying the sun! @visitqatar #visitQatar #tbin #travelwriter #travel #instatravel #travelgram #wanderlust #ilovetravel #instatravelling #instavacation #travelblogger #instapassport #postcardsfromtheworld #presstrip #traveltheworld #igtravel #getaway #instago #travelpics #ttot #instatbn #writetotravel

Our thoughts are with Catalunya in these times. Such a great place to visit as @lucyonthego1 discovered. Not only do Agüelo013 make a mean cocktail but their traditional Catalonian food is really delicious I especially love the Galician Octopus with Garlic @Agüelo013 @aguelo013 @VisitBarcelona #aguelo013 #cataloniaexperience @VisitBarcelona @londonunattached #tapas #gothicquarter #spain #barcelona #Fempinya! #octopus #travelwriter #instatravel #travelgram#travelblogger #instatbn #writetotravel#instapassport #postcardsfromtheworld#guardiantravelsnaps #ttot #tbin#travelblog #bbctravel #tumblr

The horses of #Pardubice - new on the blog a feature about one of Europe's most famous Steeplechases (on Saturday 8th if you can get there) and about the National Stud at #Kladruby. The beautiful #Kladruber horses are the oldest original #Czech breed and cousin of the #Lipizzaner - and in fact what was the Imperial Court Stud here is the oldest in the World and was founded in 1579 - They are truly beautiful horses. These horses are still used specifically to pull coaches - and still do that today for the #Danish queen and the #Swedish Royal guards. You can visit the stud like we did and even go for a carriage ride around the beautiful countryside of #EasternBohemia I travelled with #VisitCZ to celebrate a new #RyanAir route from Stansted to Pardubice - just an hour from Prague by train. #travelwriter #instatravel #travelgram#travelblogger #instatbn #writetotravel#instapassport #postcardsfromtheworld#guardiantravelsnaps #ttot #tbin#travelblog #bbctravel @czechtourism_UK #horsesofinstagram

We took a few moments out from experiencing #walloniegourmande on a walking tour of #Namur to take a look at this stunning church - #EgliseStLoup It was originally built by the #Jesuits as an extension to the college they had founded. The church was dedicated to Saint Ignatius, the founder of the Society of Jesus. The architect, Pierre Huyssens is regarded as the master of Belgian baroque. Sadly, he did not see its completion, as funds ran out the construction, which started in 1620 lasted for over 20 years, with the church being finished in 1641. There are plenty of other things to see in Namur - and some excellent opportunities to sample some of the local cheeses, cured meats, beer, Jenever (Belgian gin) and more. I'll be writing more on the blog in the next few days. #travelblogger #instatbn #writetotravel #instapassport #postcardsfromtheworld #guardiantravelsnaps #ttot #tbin #travelblog #bbctravel #secretplaces #LoveBelgium #Wallonia
