First Time in Doha, Qatar 
FIFA World Cup is happening in Qatar this coming 2022, and if you are like me, who is the opposite of genius when it comes to sports, I am pleasantly surprised that I got the chance to visit the Doha, Qatar even before the world cup! Yes, my Middle East travel ambition has finally been realized, and unlike the typical Filipino who would go here for overseas work or expat stints, my visit to this Arabian peninsula is more of the unusual non-work related wanderings.

Stunning skylines and massive cultural landmarks, this amber-colored sand-finished texture of a city are powdered with confidence, style, and traditional souqs. I could not take away my eyes from every seemingly world class wonder that I saw in this city. Doha, the country’s capital and most populous city of the state of Qatar, is on fire!

Growing up watching Aladdin and hearing stories from relatives working in the Middle East, I kind of had the inclination that high expectations about a country like Qatar should not be set in stone. Admittedly, my prejudice overpowered my understanding of travel. But, being one of the fastest growing economies in the Middle East, this city and country blew me away.
