Qatar 2024 - Part 7

Lusail City

Thursday - November 14th 2024

After exploring Doha and Meryal Waterpark we decided to spend the day at the pool, but first it was time for breakfast. Before heading to the pool we stopped at Starbucks at Doha City Center Mall for iced coffee. We had a very relaxing morning at the pool and for lunch we tried Quick Bites, a quick service restaurant in our hotel. There we ordered a salad and avocado toast with scrambled eggs. Back at the pool we enjoyed the rest of the afternoon with swimming and sunbathing.

In the afternoon Claudia and I drove to Lusail City, a newly constructed neighbourhood for the FIFA World Cup in 2022. We really liked Lusail with all the modern buildings, but unfortunately there wasn't anything going on there. The whole area was deserted with just a couple of cafes being open, however, there were no guests around. So we just strolled around the amazing looking Lusail Towers and before we left again we stopped at Starbucks. Afterwards we planned to have dinner at the Cheesecake Factory again. We assumed there was one at Place Vendome Mall, but once we arrived there, we realized that we were wrong. So we hit the road again and drove to Festival City Mall, where we could finally have dinner at the Cheesecake Factory. We ordered way too much food, but the flat bread, the quaesadilas and the avocado spring rolls were delicious. Although we were so full, we still had to get a cheesecake. Afterwards we checked out the mall, bought some clothes. Back at the hotel we enjoyed a beer at the hotel bar before calling it a day.
