Qatar 2024 - Part 2

Travel Day
 
Saturday - November 9th 2024
 
Since our flight departed in the morning, we had to get to the airport pretty early. From the hotel we took a taxi to the terminal and once we dropped off our luggage and passed security, we headed straight to the airport lounge for breakfast. We enjoyed a quiet and relaxed breakfast before it was time for boarding. Our Qatar Airways flight left on time and about six hours later we arrived in Doha. The flight itself was very uneventful, but the offered plant based meal was disppointing. After immigration and picking up our luggage, we stopped at Costa Coffee for iced coffee and croissants. Then we picked up our rental car from Avis and soon we were on our way to the hotel. Of course we got lost several times, but we finally made it to the Marriott Marquis City Center Doha. After we unpacked, we checked out the hotel and got a welcome beer at the outdoor hotel bar. Since it was already dinner time, we went to the adjacent Doha City Center Shopping Mall to get something to eat. We stopped at an Indian fast food restaurant and to our surprise the food wasn pretty decent. Afterwards we checked out the mall before returning to the hotel and calling it a day.
