Good morning
Last night I left the bike tied of a pole
Lets see if is still there
I have this mask  as we are supposed to wear mask
But is no point to wear a mask when you drive alone
I will inflate the tires again as are getting flat every two days
As you see is nobody in the traffic as is Friday
Friday here is like Sunday in Europe
Where most of the people are off and they are resting
This is the temperature
And this is the local time
I will remove the mask and leave it in the car
I will swap these gloves with the bike gloves
I am planning to go for ride around the tall buildings
Then I am planning to go to Lusail that is a city near by
I noticed on the previous video that the video angle was not very good
That I could see a lot of the bike and less from landscape
I will find a way to change that
This area is called West Bay or City Center
As I said today is  Friday so I am expecting low traffic
Fridays usually in the Middle East is like Sunday in Europe
The people go Praying and most of the shops are closed
This is how a bus station looks like in Doha
With AC
Of course now the public transport is suspended due to Corona
Same as in New York
So I am going to Lusail
I was looking on the map
Was showing there were 8.5km to Lusail
When I was going by car
I could see a bicycle path along the road
But I dunno where is starts
That pyramid, the Sheraton hotel
I saw some old pictures from around 20-25 years ago
That was showing the hotel alone
And this area was only like beach and desert
So none of these buildings
Were here like 20years ago
I left behind the City Center
The bike path started
Who I believe will take me to Lusail
Doha is having as many km of bicycle path as any large city in Europe
As you noticed the STOP sign
I woudnt be so confident that all cars will stop
So if you come around here pay attention
Here...something looks wrong
The bike path is going up
As I am supposed to go straight along the park
They should have build a crossing under the bridge
But lets follow the path
This path goes in the wrong direction
So I made a detour of about 1,5km for nothing
I should have gone through under the bridge
I found again the path
Even the sidewalk was showing a shared path where was not green coloured
I stopped 5min to rest on this bucket
Let me take a picture
The wind is blowing
But still is very hot
Before in Qatar you will not get tanned
At the beach was not necessary sun cream
Maybe the atmosphere was full of dust
 
You coud spend time at 40 degrees under Sun and not getting burned
Now because of Corona the industry is stopped
Maybe
I will get burned a little
Is burning ...burning
''You dont get tanned in Qatar.''..
You get burned
This building is part of Katara
Is called LaFayette Galleries
The interesting part is...that you can go for a walk around them
The sidewalk is cooled by AC
Is having some air vents and the air comes from underground
Same as these drainage system they are having AC machines down there
Keeping the temperature low even in summer when is over 40degrees
These two towers...
Are the entry to The Pearl
That area that are islands
Same as in Dubai
Most of people living here are expats
The rent price is quite high
Nice are but expensive
Before Corona probably a one bedroom apartment...
Like a 50 square meters
The rent was around 2500 euros
These two buildings are called the Zig-Zag towers
First buildings around the Lusail area
They are build when they did not knew hot to build properly ;)
Until they learn how to make straight up buildings...
They end up in this shape
As you see the third building is straight
They learned ;) afterwards
All these buildings ....
Are less than 7-8 years old
Is like a ghost town
Look at this highway, no cars
I was reading, Lusail city is supposed
To have approximately ....ohhhh the pavement is lower here and I almost fell...
Is supposed to have around 300k inhabitants
Let me go from the beginning ...
This building the most emblematic in Lusail
It will be a hotel
I believed that is having a half Moon shape initially
But actually is the shape of two crossed swords
These are very interesting, is the only place I saw these carpets in public
For the Muslims who are coming here walking..
And the Prayer time  starts while he/she is here
Now is very hot
But during evening are a lot of people here
Families, people who practice sports ...
Especially now when all restaurants are closed
I will go to see the buildings from close up
I was here during evening time and all these buildings are occupied already
Is weird to go around here and find no cars
Here you can see all the Corniche of Lusail
From here you can see that building better
I still believe its looks like a half Moon ;)
Lusail is still growing still many things to get done
But is nice especially in the evening
Is worthed
I believe Qatar is having ten times as many bicycle paths than Bucharest
There are some areas of 15km of paths
Pretty much thats it from here from Lusail
If you spend a few days in Qatar you can visit this area also
BYEEEE
All I am doing now is called Bonus
I want to bring the bike as close as possible to City Center
Finally I am back to Sheraton hotel
Today I went like 30km
We will continue tomorrow ....
