Today, December 18th, is National Day in Qatar. It is celebrated with a military parade in the morning and fireworks in the evening. The big question of the day was what time does all of the events start. My friend and I tried for several days to clear-up the event schedule. Every Qatari we asked gave us a different answer. So when in doubt, solicit the advise of the Internet. In most cases, this would be acceptable, except in Qatar! The only information I found on the Internet was other expats asking the same question, "what time does everything start". Between 3 people with graduate degrees, we decided to towards the corniche around 8am to the start of National Day. The best part of the parade was the cars after. They were decorated in the national flag with young children hanging out of the sunroofs and endless honking. Sometime to consider for next 4th of July. Enjoy the pics....
