đ Aussie in Manchester 
14/02/2025
I know, I know⊠itâs been forever since I last posted, but what better way to make a comeback than with a travel dump from our first stop in the Middle East? DOHA! With direct flights from Manchester, getting here was a breezeâone minute, we were freezing in the UK, and the next, we were soaking up the sunshine and Arabian hospitality.
We spent five days exploring at our own pace, staying with family, which meant we got to see Doha like the locals (aka, the best way to do it!). Mornings were slow and peacefulâstrolling along Al Wakra Old Souq Beach and the Souq, followed by the dreamiest Yemeni breakfast at Al Fanar (seriously, order the Malawah and eggs lahsa). We wandered the colourful streets of Mina District, travelled through time at the National Museum of Qatar, and soaked up the beauty of Katara Cultural Village.
For adventure, we hit the desert for an adrenaline-pumping safari, and as the sun set, we got lost in the magic of Souq Waqifâsipping tea, taking in the scents of spices and sh**ha, and soaking up the buzzing atmosphere. And letâs not forget the foodâDonkya delivered an unforgettable dinner Iâm still dreaming about.
And just when we thought the trip was over, Doha had one last treatâHamad International, aka the worldâs best airport, where even waiting for your flight feels like an experience, the shops, the food, the ease! That's why Hamad International is one of our favourites in the world
If you havenât added Doha to your travel list yet, take this as your signâitâs a city full of surprises, and I already canât wait to go back! âš
P.S. If youâve been wondering where Iâve been.. life had been life-ing! Hopefully, I wonât disappear for this long again.
