Doha

The first whispers of dawn are painting the Doha skyline in soft oranges and purples right now, as the city slowly awakens under a perfectly clear sky, already a balmy 28°C. At 6:22 AM, you can feel a gentle buzz starting to permeate the air, with the morning call to prayer having just resonated from the mosques, a beautiful reminder of the city's deep-rooted traditions. Soon, the Corniche will fill with early risers enjoying the cooler morning air before the desert sun truly takes hold, and the aroma of cardamom coffee will begin to drift from bustling souqs.
