Villagio Mall






Shopping is this nation's most popular leisure activity, perhaps driven by the fact that Qatar has the world's highest GDP per person and perhaps partly because with the summer heat there is little else on offer. Whilst I initially thought the idea of creating a small Italian village in a mall a little tacky - with soaring temperatures and the usual dusty, bland landscape, the painted dreamy blue sky and fluffy white clouds with a soothing canal is suprisingly appealing. The girls love the gondola ride too.
