Modern Architecture of Doha

So it's no secret - Qatar has little to offer in terms of natural beauty. I don't intend to offend. It has some pretty coastline if you are daring enough to drive through sand dunes. But inland it's just sand - and not even the red, rippled sand one imagines of Arabia, more like the ordinary, pale and dusty variety. They have, however, a vision of setting themselves up as a modern city with lots to offer the business tourist (at least on this they are realistic). At least for those of us who find ourselves here, we can appreciate the efforts they have made with modern archictecture. Here are a few of my favourites.
