During Ramadan there's a local tradition of Qataris driving down to the Corniche to while away the last hour or so before the iftar. They go down in luxury cars, vintage cars, cars with odd paint jobs, and even vehicles that make you go "huh"? It'll almost be like a parade as everyone circles back and forth around the Corniche. Plenty of people are on the side of the road taking pictures of the cars.
I always try to catch it at least once. So here is the Ramadan Car Parade 2014. Enjoy.
In 2006 I moved to Qatar and things are not what many people in North America would expect - it is not like how the Middle East is portrayed in the media. I'm also a fan of skepticism and science so wondered how this works here in Qatar. Since I'm here for a while I figured I'd use the time to get to know this country better and with this blog you can learn along with me. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - So what posts have been popular recently . . .
