The time has come to turn a new leaf in the history of our nation
It is a mixed feeling to see the outgoing Emir of Qatar and welcoming a new Emir. On 25 June 2013, Sheikh Hamad bin Khalifa Al Thani handed over power to his son, Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad bin Khalifa Al Thani.
Social media is overwhelmed by expectedly positive comments (not only by countrymen but also expatriates) to Sheikh Hamad on his achievements to turn modern Qatar, his dedication, his greatness, his humanitarian and his service to Qatar and to make what Qatar today. I am fortunate enough to be a witness of Qatar development during the last 5 years under Sheikh Hamad leadership.
Barakallahu fiikum Sheikh Hamad and mabrook Sheikh Tamim. May Qatar continue to be prosperous!

It’s almost four months back when I had my last offroad desert drive. Amid summer, I went to Inland Sea along with other 21 cars. Though it was 41 C during the day, a night in Inland Sea saw cool temperature of around 22-24 C, much cooler than average of 29 C in Doha.
In the morning, we rocked and rolled over the dunes, down slided barchan dunes and shared a laugh to bogged down cars.
One other thing that makes living in Qatar is more enjoyable.
