Day 2
doha - qatar
Arrival: 08:00
-
Departure: 18:00
Doha is the capital of Qatar. The capital of Qatar is developing into a large metropolis and is becoming a major business centre. Doha is a delightful blend of traditional and modern Arab life. The city skyline, still under construction, is very unique and quite fascinating to look at. Each building is very distinct and yet doesn't seem to leave the Arabian feel too far behind.
Life in Doha revolves around the Corniche, the long seaside promenade along Doha Bay, a perfect place to relax and enjoy the lovely views of Palm Tree Island and the city's skyscrapers. The north contains most of the historic sites, including Umm Salal Mohammed, a relatively large village dominated by the ruins of a 19th-century fort. Particularly interesting are the Grand Mosque with its many domes and the Abu Bakir al-Siddiq Mosque. On the west coast there are fine beaches at Umm Bab, Dukhan and Salwah near the Saudi border. The south is a region of sand dunes and beaches, offering opportunities to go pearl hunting, or to practice a variety of watersports.
If you should tire of city life, the rest of Qatar is virtually on the doorstep, offering some splendid scenery and interesting historical attractions to those with a taste for adventure.

Sure! Here’s an English (Ireland) translation, with some subtle adjustments to reflect Irish English vocabulary, phrasing, and tone:
The Kingdom of Bahrain is a Middle Eastern group of islands in the Persian Gulf, nestled into a corner of the sea between Saudi Arabia and Qatar. It’s something of an oasis of social liberalism – or at least a kind of Western-friendly moderation – among the Muslim countries in the area. Travellers are fond of it for its genuine “Arabness”, but without the strict enforcement of Islamic law on its non-Muslim minority. While its economy is still heavily based on oil, Bahrain’s more easy-going culture has also turned it into a bit of a social and shopping hotspot, which has helped it develop a fairly cosmopolitan middle class – something you wouldn’t really find in neighbouring countries, where there’s usually just a wealthy elite and the rest getting by as best they can.

Arrival: 07:00

Departure: 21:00
Abu Dhabi is the federal capital and the hub of government in the United Arab Emirates. Abu Dhabi is one of the most contemporary cities in the world. The architecture of its modern buildings and skyscrapers is the finest in the Middle East. Large gardens and parks, green boulevards lining all the streets and roads, sophisticated high-rise buildings, the presence of all the international luxury hotel chains, lavish shopping centres, cultural centres and events provide tourists a unique experience all year round.
Abu Dhabi has a broad range of restaurants to dine in, numerous shopping opportunities, a pleasant Corniche to stroll along, some good hotels and several beach clubs. There is a Heritage Village, a fort, a good library, a fish market, the dhow building yard and many other sights for the visitor to see. One of the main attractions is the Sheikh Zayed Mosque. This mosque is truly breathtaking. The structure is simply marvellous and the decoration inside one of the most sophisticated.
Built on an island off the main coast of the UAE, Abu Dhabi is a compact, modern, organised, and civilised city.
