Doha Souq Alley

Description

Well, I finally got around to getting off-base and seeing the sights in Doha, Qatar. It's a pretty crowded and bustling city struggling between its growing modernity and ancient history. I'm talking glass skyscrapers and trendy restaurants hobknobbing with sandy unpaved roads and tiny run-down merchant stalls.

This is a snapshot of one of hundreds of tiny alleyways in the Souqs (or market squares) where merchant stalls and storefronts do business, selling anything from spices and jewelry to Persian rugs and Middle Eastern antiquities. Of course, you get your usual tourist traps hawking souvenirs and knockoff merchandise. The flag in the background is that of Qatar.
