Qatar. Am going there on business, will have one free day. Guys I am doing business with are setting up the usual dune-bashing, camel-riding thing because there is a law in gulf states that you have to do those.
On the free day, though, what's the one thing I ought to be sure not to miss? Do they have a good traditional souk? A museum of any sort? I really know very little about it, other than having been there once before, also on business, with no free day beyond doing the obligatory dune-bashing and camel-riding. Pic related, that one in the middle was my camel. He's probably been eaten by now, or something, and besides I don't remember his name, so I won't be looking him up...

Are you saying that it's mandatory by law to go and ride a camel as a visitor?

Expat who's spent the past year in Qatar here:
The best Souk to check out is Souk Waqif, which conveniently happens to be within walking distance of the Museum of Islamic Art. Aside from those two attractions and your desert activities, there isn't a whole lot else. There's a water park outside Doha near the Air Base, and there's more fucking malls than I care to count.
Mall of Qatar is brand fucking new, but it's way out of the way, just past Education City. There's the Villagio, which is fairly nice, but clearly a rip-off of the Bellagio, minus the casino lol. You might also want to check out Aspire Park, which is close to the Villagio. There's a kick-ass burger place called "Burgeri." Fantastic cheeseburgers.
There's also City Centre, but that place is kind of a dump. I only go there because it's within walking distance of my apartment, and it's got a grocery store.

Continued:
As far as the night life goes, there's a few places to choose from. You've got the Irish Harp, Glow Bar, Trader Vick's, the Intercontinental, Champions, the Pearl, Sherezad, and Crystal.
Beware though, getting drunk in Qatar is fucking expensive, and some of the clubs I listed require you to bring a girl, or your ass isn't getting in. You might be better off seeing if any of your business associates have a QDC card. That card allows them to purchase personal booze at the only fucking liquor store in the country.

Yeah, you can be jailed for not riding at least one camel.

Apologies for piggybacking off your thread OP, but I have a question about Qatar since I'm going to travel their with my uncle next month.
I hear theres a explicit ban on pornography over there in customs.
I just wanted to know how strict they are on this, since I want to bring my tablet with digital copies of various anatomy books.
