Myth 1: A desert is not all sand dunes. Doha appears to be built more on rock than sand. It’s rubble-like in nature and not at all like the classic desert (the sort with large sand dunes) I had expected. These are a long drive out of the city. We hope to get out there next weekend so will post photos.
Myth 2: Sandstorms are not like in the movies. We have had a couple of sand storms since we have been here. I got a text from Lynley asking how we were enjoying our first sand storm. We thought it was fog. It looked like clouds / fog in the distance rather than stinging sand in the face. There is no sand flying in your face its more like a very fine dust. I found I needed to wear my reading glasses inside once I had been out, but wasn’t sure if this was due to the dust or the air con.
