Dahl Al Hamam Park

Dahl Al Hamam Family Park is located in Madinat Khalifa, Doha, at the corner of a roundabout bear its name,  intersection of Al Markhiya St and Arab League St. The park is so named because of a cave inside it, Dahl means cave. I found it also means House of the Dove. The cave is apparently closed and fenced on safety grounds. Visit the following link to know more about the cave: http://www.saudicaves.com/hamam/index.html

Established in 2004 on an area of 93,297m2, Dahl Al Hamam is a very well equipped park for family, only. Some of the facilities and services include sports activities area (football, basketball, skateboard), live shows (open air theater), occasion yard, children play area (big shaded area and small open playground), and restaurant and food court. The park also has ample parking lots close to the park. Free wifi add as a major advantage. Unfortunately, no prayer room or mosque available although one may walk few minutes across the park for praying.

Zekreet – Film City Revisited

Visited Film City at Zekreet Peninsula for the third time. This time, acted as a Road Captain, I went with ITB (Bandung Institute of Technology) Alumni Association, Chapter Qatar. Twenty three cars (including two sedans) and around 80 people were in a tow.

Being a Road Captain was quite a burden especially with a task to find a sedan-friendly route. Unlike two visits previously, I used the east route (first time) for inbound route to Film City and West-Central route for outbound route from Film City.

*I’ll post a complete route and via-points coordinates (if time permits)*

The east route was started from the first intersection after turn-off from Dukhan Highway. Instead of going straight to Zekreet we turned right to an abandoned asphalt road (it’s probably a diversion road while Dukhan Highway was in the making), drove along fences, then underneath high voltage power towers until (about 3.9km from the intersection) finding obvious wide track to the north. The rest was following this dirt rocky track, passing fenced shooting range, short ‘highway’ near the beach where the surface was smooth, meeting many ’rock mushrooms’ formations then finally reached Film City. It turned out that there is a route from Zekreet village that connected with this east route just outside the fenced shooting range.

FIlm City doesn’t change much but I think it starts deteriorating. At nearby green patch film crew or may be TV production crew was taking some film shots. Meet Film City Guard who very welcoming to us. Nice gesture with tips will surely help the guy who brave enough living and guarding the city in the middle of nowhere.

On the way back, we stopped by at Mystery Village for lunch, which was originally planned at the nearby beach but already occupied by local winter camp portacabins. From Mystery Village we took a West-Central route passing some plains before turning right approaching beach then Zekreet Village.

We mustered at Zekreet Beach near village but unfortunately very long low tide saw the beach loses its appeal. We adjourned after a brief meeting about the way forward for the alumni association.

Gone Fishing

I never like fishing until I found that it is not the fishing itself that is interesting but whatever around it.

To me, I thought fishing was wasting time, throwing your bait then wait…wait…wait…until poor, unfortunate fish attracted to your bit and ouch ..hooked! And it is a kind of deception, isn’t it. That’s why I don’t like it.

As time goes, I started to like offroad while in Qatar. When we went for night dune bashing, the morning after is always fishing time for most of my friends. I just watched them, tried to understand what joy fishing does bring. Many of my friends are fishing maniac; they bought boat, went fishing every weekend: in Al Dhakira, in Simaisma, and in Inland Sea.

My father-in-law is also a fishing maniac so maniac that whenever he sees a pool of water, he retorically asks himself “Is there fish inside? He never persuades me to like fishing but when I express my interest in buying fishing tools he can’t hide his enthusiasm. So here we go, I bring along a fishing kit from my last vacation.

Last weekend was my first fishing lesson. First, throwing bait, rolling up, throwing, rolling up. I didn’t get any fish yet, nor heaps of enjoyment. But at least I started, though I am thinking that may be watching them doing fishing amidst laugh, jeers and jokes can’t be more jollifying.

I don’t know.

After quite some time, I joined night dune bashing and morning fishing

Jeep thing you won't understand

 

...and tire slippage or out of place is just another lesson learned

 

MIA Park

We visited MIA Park during its first opening to public last Friday afternoon. The Park was actually opened since 15 December but to the VIPs and special guests only. The opening activities covered many activities including free use of bungee trampoline, bouncy castle and playground. (not sure if bouncy castle will be permanent). MIA Park is an excellent addition to Doha’s public space. Though at the time of visit, shades are not much (particularly useful for visit during hotter months), the park is really enjoyable.

This 62-acre park, designed by Hiroshi Okamoto includes about two kilometers of lighted pedestrian pathways shaded by native palm trees with magnificent view to Doha skylines. Visitors will also find paddle boats for rent in a small cove in Doha Bay (not operational during our visit – in the future it will not be free – QR25 according to QMA FB news feed), as well as two cafés and one kiosk offering souvenirs and other gift items. Year-round public activities at MIA Park will include film screenings, sports events, storytelling programs and art workshops. MIA Park will be developed in phases, with additional elements and amenities to be announced in the future.

Not to be missed on the western edge of crescent shape promenade is  the massive steel sculpture entitled ‘7’, by world-famous artist Richard Serra. The 60m long sculpture plaza, specially designed to support ‘7’, is clad in black granite and is surrounded by water, with stairs rising from the water’s edge on the south side.

MIA Park is conveniently located on the waterfront in the grounds of the MIA, right off the Corniche Road through the Port Road entrance; entrance is free of charge.  Visitors will be able to access the park through the parking area of the Museum of Islamic Art or they may park their vehicles at a new parking area adjacent to the Doha Port. The future MIA Park operating hours to the public will be as follows:

Sunday        1030 – 2300
Monday       1030 – 2300
Tuesday       CLOSED
Wednesday  1030 – 2300
Thursday     1200 – 2300
Friday          1400 – 2300
Saturday      1200 – 2300

No special prayer area in the park (assuming Moslem should go to MIA for praying) unfortunately. Free wifi was said available but I haven’t tried yet. Toilets are available near the cafes (left side cafe is for cold beverages, right cafe is for hot beverages). The cafe design itself is interesting, with Arabic pattern and modern seating designs.

Aqua Park Qatar

Visited Aqua Park Qatar during Eid Adha holiday, first time since its opening in August 2010. Aqua Park, Qatar’s first water park, is located 16km from the Industrial Area roundabout on the Salwa Road (exit through Exit 29 Rawdath Rashid Interchange, 5 km after Messaieed Interchange).

View Larger Map
 
The park, concept and construction of which is being provided by Cyprus-based Aqua Masters, and operation managed by Kuwait-based Al Jazeera Entertainment Enterprises Company features a giant “wave pool”, a “lazy river”, an “activity pool”, a multiple slides complex, a family pool, an exotic village and a “dry” corner in the first phase. The first phase covers an area of 50,000sqm. Its parking area can accommodate 400 cars.  In later phases, more rides and features such as go-carts will be included, I learnt.

Adjacent to the aqua park will be a 300,000sqm resort as well as a shopping complex, currently under construction and expected to be completed in 2012(?).
 

The drive to Aqua Park is not an hassle thanks to super highway Salwa Road, and well sign-posted Aqua Park. As I enter the park I am welcomed with a tree-lined entrance road leading to parking lots. After buying tickets, and passing turnstiles, I am now in the water park. To the right is changing rooms, gift shops and and Lagoon, whereas on the left is children activity pool then wave pool. In the middle is an island surrounded by lazy river, housing a performance stage and a fried chicken restaurant. At the back is the Slide Towers and Sports fields.

The pirate-themed Children’s Activity Pool, caters mainly for children ages 4 to 14, is one of the favorites with  its five slides, and the giant dumping bucket which automatically pours 2,000 gallons of water every two minutes.

Children's Activity Pool

But the major attraction and the strongest crowd drawer is Wave Pool. The Wave Pool produces artificial waves in six different patterns and intensity.

Too bad the water is not temperature controlled that it’s too cold during this winter to play with it for long.  

Wave Pool

A 200m-long Lazy River meanders around the park where visitors may lazily ride on their inflatable  floats. Well it’s not a river in fact as the water is stagnant (or may be our definition of “lazy” is different?) so unless you do some paddling then you won’t go anywhere. Minus point.

Soooo lazy river

But topping all the rides is the Slides Tower comprising three levels – 14m, 16m and 20m with multi-lane slides, the most thrilling of which is the 20m-high slide called ‘boomerango’.

View to Slide Towers

 The good thing in the park is plenty of wooden parasols built all over the area for visitors to take a shade or to do people watching. The park prohibits entry of all kinds of camera and outside food and drinks but as I’ve seen all visitors take their camera in and snap pictures without any reminders. It’s also possible to “smuggle” food and drink though I saw confiscated food and drink near the turnstiles. Restaurants and food kiosks are however available in the park.

If you forgot your swimming gears  a store which sells swimming paraphernalia such as goggles, beach balls, swimwear and other swimming gear is also available.

Sports fields

Business hours of the park will be 10am–10pm seven days a week. Fridays will be earmarked for families. There will also be a ladies’ day on Tuesdays. Entrance fee is QR100, QR60 for people with special needs and QR40 for nannies. Children aged three years and below are free.

 

For all the good things: yet another night dune trip

This night dune trip on 15 Sep 2011 was special for many things. First, we celebrated, we thanked God, for all the good things among us:

• Some of us have received an SMS (probably the most awaited sms) from Hajj Committee for the successful application of Hajj. Meaning that they can Insha Allah go for Hajj pilgrimage this year. Mabrook.
• One of us has “graduated” from Qatar, back to Indonesia, to assume a higher position and comparable remuneration in a similar industry. Hmmm…Again, mabrook.
• One of us has just been promoted. Mabrook

Second, it’s a combined trip among night fishing, dune bashing, and camping. Third, due to graduation of our “Head of District” a handover to new Head of District is required. And this handover was arranged to take place in this trip at our special location: District Office of Rock Island. Rock Island – also unofficial name – is where our unofficial Head of District based for his almost weekly fishing spot. 

Don’t be puzzled with all of of terms. Those meant to naturalize Inland Sea areas with Indonesian contexts.

Almost 30 cars participated in this trip, divided into 3 different departures: 5pm for those want to early fishing, 10 pm for majority of participants, and 1 pm for those having night shifts.

Two big Arabic chicken and lamb khabsa plates are our special menu.

Overall it was a trip full of laughters amidst tears to see our friend leaves us. As he  emphasized during his departure notes, it was a hard decision, it is friends like us and frequent trips with all its friendship bonds and togetherness that incriminating him. Wish you luck with your new endeavor Bro!

A Walk on the Soft Sand

It’s been a while since I last went for dune bashing. Fortunately I have with me, those addited-to-dune friends who is going for a dune trip every weekend. This night and morning dune trip was with one theme: “Porridge”. Literally means rice porridge that became our supper – thanks to Bro Angga our Qatar Airways pilot for the delicious Indonesian porridge. “Porridge” is also our term to mean very soft sand that can easily trap and make you stuck. We are not for side sloping or other extreme dune activities. “Let’s be safe, respect the desert, enjoy the night and sky and our warm and fun friendship”, said our marshall – Willy who without GPS know where to go in Inland Sea.

Thursday. 28 April 2011. 10pm. Sealine Beach Resort. A quiet, tranquil, a bit cold nigh was soon warmed with the arrival of our special supper – Hummer H2 chicken rice porridge.

Our night dune safari theme: chicken rice porridge

Soon after our stomach was full, we departed, at around 11pm. It’s totally dark. No lights excepts ours. Slowly we were strolling the back of dunes, aiming for a soft part of the routes.

Driving in the dunes at night is not without risk and that’s why we were driving slowly. Unfortunately, our British prince – Land Rover LR3 – nose dived from unexpected shallow slope. A bit shaky thanks God no one hurt. But the British was overheat, bleeding, vomitting its radiator coolant.

Overheat

Good thing was we have two LNG train mechanics – not sure how they are related . Later in the morning our mechanics could fix the problem which was a non-rotating fan.

If we can maintain the largest LNG train in the world, why can't we fix this British steel

 Then about few kilometers from our intended camping site, one of the car had its front tire out of place. This was normally due to low tire pressure and side driving.

Out of place

 

 

In the darkness I seek your light

 

Around 3am we arrived at camping site, one of the porridge location. Not long it caused a problem. Two cars stuck. Our marshall advised us to take a rest and let the morning break before heading for car recovery. But, one friend was just so curious to get out. He tried any possible ways despite advised to take a rest. His never give up attitude became our “punk” plan. We were standing still, made jokes instead of helping him…poor he was.

Stuck in the "porridge"

 

Tug of war? Javanese puppet show? No, just our funny part of trip - "punk" our friend

 When the morning break, we continue our trip. Passing several porridges, sliding down the steep dunes. Really a nice morning walk on the soft sand.

Sliding down the dune is one of the interesting trip activity

 

Solitude

 

Commemorating last year's massal bogged down. And you know, we stuck again.

 

Out of my way

 

Thank you guys!

 Ah, thank you brother for the trip. It can never be more memorable than making a trip with you. See you then. Be safe.

 

French Beach and Fuwairit Beach

What is it in French Beach? The name seems so intriguing that I and my group were so eager in exploring it. I’m not sure how this name derived. When we arrived there, this short beach strip was full of westerners (with many women were in theirbikinis). Though short, I managed to capture the beach as below. We found out that the beach was not so good to pitch a tent or for picnicking as dry seaweeds scattered all over, and we didn’t find a good spot for our large group. We decided then to go further north to Fuwairit.

French beach or 42km beach  (derived from turnoff to the beach which is located at 42km after Al Khor turnoff) can be accessed through Al Shamal Road. Turn at 42km after Al Khor turn off and follow 6km road to a small village. Head south about 1.6km passing some old buildings before arriving at the beach, where you’ll see big buildings at the north west and south. The beach can also be accessed through previous turn off where you may want to visit Al Jassasiya Rock Carving (Petroglyphs). If you opt to go this route you’ll see a road leading to Ras Laffan Industrial City on your right on your way to Al Jassasiya. Turn left after 8.4km from Al Shamal Road, follow the asphalted road until you end up at a big palace with its helipad. The beach is just few hundreds meters further north through rocky flat.

Al Jassasiya coordinate: 25 57’07.7″N 51 24’22.8″E

Map to North Qatar beaches

French Beach or 42km Beach or Maroona Beach...

From French beach we returned to Al Shamal Road and drove 2.3km northwardly before turn right. Unlike last year, Fuwairit now has an interchange, providing easy access back to Doha. I didn’t pitch a tent but instead swimming and barbecuing until around 9pm. A nice day out tough with friends.

Fuwairit is getting popular as it offers long stretch of beach with quite safer environment from vehicle traffic (“flying 4×4 or ATV) than in Sealine. No wonder that day the beach is jam-packed. Kite surfing, barbecuing and water sports are common activities here. However, do not expect any facilities in here. Sedan can go quite near to the beach just beware of soft sand and many ground bumps.

Mathaf Arab Museum of Modern Art

Mathaf - The Guardian of the Fertile Crescent and Al-Safina (the ship)

Museum facade

Finally I had a chance to visit the new addition to Doha’s attraction . If Abu Dhabi buys the franchises of Guggenheim and Louvre Museums, Doha has its own museum. Mathaf (is pronounced ‘mat-haf’ and means “museum”) opens the door for public since December 30, 2010.

Quoted press release from Qatar Museum Authority:

“Mathaf Arab Museum of Modern Art presents exhibitions and programs that explore modern Arab art. Its collection of more than 6,000 works represents major trends and sites of production of modern Arab art, spanning the 1840s to the present. In addition to its collection and special exhibitions, Mathaf’s on-site and online programs will reinforce its role as a center for global dialogue, research and scholarship. Through these activities, which are designed to engage artists, writers, students, scholars and the widest possible public audience, Mathaf will contribute to the cultural landscape of the Gulf region, the Middle East and the Arab Diaspora.

The Museum will temporarily occupy a former school building in Doha’s Education City, which was re-designed for Mathaf by the French architect Jean-François Bodin. QMA will determine its plans for the construction of a future, permanent home for the Museum at a later date.

Mathaf is the outgrowth of more than two decades of activity by QMA’s Vice-Chairperson, His Excellency Sheikh Hassan bin Mohamed bin Ali Al-Thani. The collection was adopted originally by Qatar Foundation, who safeguarded it for four years before QMA took the Museum on as a Museums Authority project, at which point the current partnership was formed. As the catalyst of this project, Sheikh Hassan has encouraged creativity in Qatar and throughout the region with his longtime commitment to Arab artists.

Overseeing the establishment and opening of Mathaf is QMA Chairperson Her Excellency Sheikha Al Mayassa bint Hamad bin Khalifa Al-Thani.”

When I visited Mathaf on 4 March 2011, Mathaf featured Sajjil: A Century of Modern Art : an inaugural exhibition of highlights from the collection, featuring works by more than 100 artists and representing pivotal experiments in aesthetics. Sajjil, an Arabic word meaning the act of recording, initiates a space in which various narratives can be articulated in an effort to allow Arab modern art its historical place within a wider tradition of art history.

Ismail Fatah’s the guardian of the fertile crescent (two statues at the very foreforent of museum) welcomed me when I just alighted at the parking lots. To the right is Adam Henein’s “al-safina” (the ship). Al-Safina is based on approximately 64 blocks of pink and black granite quarried in Aswan, Egypt. On and around the blocks stand twenty granite and bronze sculptures of animals, human figures, plants and abstract forms. This sculpture is immediately recognizable as a ship but it leaves room for the imagination.

Adam Henein's the ship

I then passed through a screen-wrapped scaffolding-style façade, upon which imagery and video can be projected at night. Reception Hall is the next space. Security Guard indicated that I must report to Reception Desk which has two big art pictures of Emir and Sheikha Mozah at the opposite side. No fee to enjoy the whole art galleries and facilities. Receptionist asked few questions such as where do I know Mathaf, if I am tourist or resident. I inquired to the receptionist if I am allowed to take pictures and reminded that photography is limited to reception hall and outside museum.

Inside Mathaf, the flexible space has an informal and contemporary aesthetic. I can easily recognize the ‘school’ parts of museum. There are 10 galleries arranged in two floors. At ground floor are form and abstraction, city, Doha, nature, and individualsm, whereas the first floor houses Horoufiyah, family, society, struggle, and history and myth galleries.

Also available at the ground floor are library (Maktaba), gift shop (Mahal), coffee shop (Maqha), activity center (Manara). The library was worth visited. It is spacious, well aranged. Soft, and comfortable sofa, Apple desktops, and vast array of art books are ingredient to this lovely library that its bookselves walls are made of stack of books. Interesting. The library is open to small grass field. Book can only be read in the library and not to be borrowed, unfortunately.
