Qatar is a small peninsula that sticks out into the Arabian Gulf like a thumb. Doha sits right on the coast, so tall buildings and sparkling blue water sit right next to each other. At night the towers light up and reflect off the sea, creating a mirror image of the city on the water.
One of the most famous buildings is the Torch Tower, shaped like a giant flame. Another is the spiral-topped Doha Tower, which looks like a giant screw reaching into the sky. Architects from all around the world have come to Qatar to design daring buildings that could not stand anywhere else.
The Corniche is a long curved promenade where families walk, cycle, and enjoy the sea breeze right in front of those famous towers. From a boat on the water you can see the whole skyline at once - it is one of the great views in the Middle East.
