Qatar – National Day

Posted on December 17, 2015

Qatar National Day is tomorrow, 18 December 2015.

The flags are out. The purple & white. And many photos of the ruler, Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani, and the former ruler until June 2013, his dad Sheikh Hamad bin Khalifa Al Thani.

Took a few shots at the Souq Waqif in Doha last weekend.

Mabruk al yaum Qatar!
