Please get 3 Chapati Cheese and 3 Karak (tea with milk done the indian way).
Alright. Our fourth day starts in a very weird way!
It's very special... Azzam a friend of mine,
told me to get ready at 7 AM, and don't give me headache.
Azzam...
He's local and loves Lebanon,
and he really loves Doha! We've spended an  hour talking
about what are the possibilities that can be done in Doha...
I won't tell you more, I'll show you in the coming time when I come here.
Anyways we stopped on the way and had traditional breakfast...
Thank you.
3 Chapati and 3 tea...
Thank you.
Thank you! They wrap it up in aluminium foil, just like Five Guys...
 
It's the traditional bread with cheese on the inside.
Cream cheese, like Picon? Yes ture...
 
Creamy cheese.
The Karake is Tea, milk and sugar.
Tea, milk and sugar.
The milk which is
the condensed milk. And a lot of sugar.
But it's very good! Nice.
Street food on the way, I didn't tell you where I am going!
A surprise in a while.
 
 
Azzam is taking me to a place, very special.
I want to tell you but I'm teasing you...
For the second time.
 
We got here!
Behind me is a Stadium, 2022.. Qatar
one of the best world cups ever! Between them is 8 fields and 4 are done.
100% AC.
Estate of the Art, and i am lucky that i am from the very first people to go inside.
One of the first people that are taking videos of it.
Feeling honored and proud, and I must introduce you to my friends.
Khaled and Azzam, those are the people who made this happen.
I will cut down on talking and we'll go in, I think I should be less excited.
VIP entrance!
 
 
You are here now in the VVIP lounge!
Waw!
Amazing!
I tease you more?
 
If you see this, this is explanation.
Why do we have this pathway. Every single detail has been thought of! Yes!
So I summarize what we have spoke,
It has 40,000 chairs, they thought that after the world cup
40,000 chairs is too much for Qatar.
So half of it would be broken down into half, and 20,000 chairs would be given as a gift for a country that is in need for a new World Cup.
And the steel stucture would be detached and lowered down,
The ceiling would need 35 minutes to close...
Just for the Air Conditioning to become stronger
This is the entire field.
It has AC, and you can feel it the same way when you're sitting in your room...
and when you sleep. The temperature would rise up to 18 degrees?
Through here we control the light system...
Sound system... what else?
Sound, light and screen.
 
 
 
Below the seat, but the, but the design is special...
It's done with Qatar University,
And the air comes out in a spraying way, you don't feel the air
over you, you feel the spray shatter.
In this way the air would be kindly spreading out, we only turn the AC on for the area we need.
We don't get the upper area cold...
We have it all around a spectator, and the air turns...
And we have a cycle.
This is the air...
It's very strong so that the players get some air while they're playing...
But from the line and on, you no longer feel the air but just the chill out of it.
This is how the player gets into the stage and sees the view and everyone cheers for him..
I need a lot of time to become a football player. But the feeling is nice!
It's a very nice feeling! Come on turn and show them how it feels!
I will go back to have a very good sandwich...
Because I'm hungry.
He's a good reference. Thank you so much!
And by the way, I need to follow you!
Thank you so much!
 
 
 
 
 
We just got to a very nice mall called Villagio
Villagio.
And we will let you try a very special coffee.
Lets drink a special coffee!
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Very nice!
We are planning, we're planning... Travel number 2 and 3 when I come back to Doha.
And I haven't had anything ever since the morning.
Chocolate Cookie.
Come close, you have to try this.
 
It's amazing, soft on the inside...
Chocolate on the top and I'm drinking coffee
with a bit of foamy milk.
 
Why are we here? Because they say you can't come to Qatar
and not try Um Ali.
Yes, in this hotel there's an important dessert, we are here to try it.
 
 
 
 
 
 
I'm recalling yesterday...
There's a huge column that didn't see me, God protected me.
Anyways we got to Sheraton Hotel
that's very high in strandards, ever since 1980.
Azzam told me that I must try Um Ali.
Um Ali seems like a good plate, it's almost half a kilogram. This is only for one person.
Um Ali that has nuts on the top...
It's white in color, unlike the one I know. That one is
a maroon color.
 
The taste of milk is strong,
it's fresh... the bread, the crunch of the nuts, and the sugar.
 
We have finished, it's time for lunch!
 
 
 
 
 
The table is very rich!
I tried almost everything, and I really liked them.
It's colors speak for themselves, we will call the Chief and he'll tell us more.
Greetings. Chief, thank you!
Your table is quite nice, tell me more your kitchen is Syrian based?
Yes of course. Traditional, fine dining, what are we having? 3 in 1.
Hummus with spices and walnuts..
Baba Ghanouj.
Everything is homemade, and fresh not already prepared.
The Kebbeh Al Sajiyeh.
Goat meat..
with nuts and ghee.
This Maajoua is main.
 
 
 
You know how much I love Hreeseh, I turned all the villages for it.
But the Hreeseh in Syria is a dessert, in Lebanon we don't have off.
Made up of Semolina pudding, yogurt and nuts on the top.
It fills the head up!
After a long day I got to The Pearl,
for real you feel like you're in Europe.
The colored buildings, the greenery and the sound of water... unbelievable! It got to a place where it's very hot!
You look behind me and say no way we are in Qatar!
4 days that can't be forgotten!
I already planned for the coming trip, I am coming with lots of surprises!
Because I really liked Doha and all of Qatar!
Anyway,  we ate and toured and had lots of fun.. went to the football stadium, but I haven't cooked yet!
Chief Charbil, my friend he's waiting for me in the kitchen...
about 4 months ago we cooked Shawarma together...
I really believe in what he does, and i love what he does.
He has been for more than 40 years in this domain, Chief Charbil cooking in the kitchen because I have missed my grandma's food!
Let's do it, Debs w Remman is waiting for us!
Hi Chief ! Hi Anthony how are you?
You're welcome! He is Charbil, my friend
you're tanning in Qatar!
You have minimal sunlight here (sarcasm).
So we have got to the kitchen.
Hello everyone! Greetings Anthony in Debs w Remman.
This is Chief Fayez,
and you'll meet the other guys...
we are going to cook together right? Ready! I am waiting for this moment!
So today we are going to prepare several meals...
I know Anthony loves the village food...
so there's something called Maghmouse it's from the North.
It's eggplant based, we will prepare one.
We are going to cook stuffed cabbage with Castaletta...
and Chief Fayez is going to prepare two plates with pumkin...
one with yogurt and the other with Tahini...
Very special!
 
It's called Pumkin in Yogurt.
 
It tastes like it's homemade, exactly homemade.
The pumkin is cooked very well.
The oil is amazing!
The yogurt is very good and hot.
The crunch of pine!
It has the taste of Cauliflower, with the sweetness of Pomegranate Molasses.
The crunch of the pumkin
A nice meal, I really enjoyed it!
It really reminded me of the good old days in the mountains...
In the spirit of my grandma.
Maghmouse is the lamb's chops...
Yes lamb chops.. that's the shoulder of the lamb that's cooked for 6 hours. We took the water of it
and there it is... i made it just like the village's way.
I stole this way from an old woman that I met after coming back to Beirut for 30 years...
We have the eggplant with a bit of skin
Just because... not because of the shape, but since the eggplant on the inside is very soft.
if we peel the skin..
when you cook it, it would shatter into pieces. So keep the skin from various sides
to hold the eggplant from upwards to downwards
Usually we add garlic if you're doing it at home...
so...
this is the eggplant.. I have to respect the woman who taught me...
 
 
 
We took the eggplant, cooked the way they have to be...
they're very soft and smooth.
but as the chief said, he didn't peel them so they stay still. 100%!
The taste of tomato, the taste of homemade food
the taste of shew...
Shew, then meat...
They return you back to the taste of the  Sundays
in the mountains, but at the same time to an upscale restaurant and something new
It's the second dish, I know the cabbage stuffed... but with Castaletta it's new.
Cabbage stuffed with castaletta, we do it in the restaurant
Okay. My challenge today is to make it taste good without garlic.
The cabbage is cooked well, the rice inside aren't mushy.
The sauce has all the necessary taste needed.
But if we had a spoon we would've added the sauce and it'll be done, no garlic!
 
4 days in Doha, I will recall them for a long time
I came here 10 years ago and it all changed.
But when I came here the buildings all were built, the restaurants were open...
the green spaces and it has several areas.
But I felt like I am home, the feeling is very nice..
the hospitality and the people I met this week.. and everywhere I walk I found Lebanese people. Heart warming!
I had food!
I got to know the area, and I went to touristic places...
It's just the beginning, of course I haven't covered everything..
But it's a beginning for something way bigger! Today our travel ends but new and more travels start...
To show you Doha and Qatar, so that we might prepare ourselves for 2022!
Meshwar (trip) ends now we will meet up next time!
Thank you for all the people who stood next to me and sent me messages...
100s of messages on Instagram, on Messages and YouTube...
Thank you for all the Lebanese people, the Arabs and Qataris that follow me and love what I do.
That's how we finish it here and we'll meet up next time. The airport is amazing!
Let's see it together, a fast tour... and we'll head to the plane!
Thank you and see you next time!
 
 
 
 
We would've went without the luggage!
