Doha, Qatar.
For some unknown reason Qatar Air, the airlines we decided to use to get us to India, changed their Johannesburg to Mumbai flight which left us stuck in Doha for 21 hours. When I called Qatar Air expecting a major hassle to sort out the issue, I was shocked. Not only did they apologize for the change, they booked us a hotel room plus our visas to explore the city for those short hours. An all around applause for the greatest airlines in the world.
Our hotel was the Moevnpick situated downtown across from the Four Seasons. Moevnpick might not have the fancy name of it's neighbor but it sure compares in quality. In our 5th floor view, in a 25 story high-rise, we gazed out the window to a magical high-rise heaven. The hotel room was fancier and just about bigger than any apartment I've rented. It had a kitchen, king-size bed and a small living room.
Did I mention that all of our meals were free?
Money and style oozes out of the buildings and immaculate streets. Coming from Africa, this was shock to my system. A good shock.

Standing outside theMuseum of Islamic Art.
Warrior of ancient (unknown) times.
The most beautiful jewerly I've ever seen.
The Museum is on the right, our hotel was in the mix of high-rises in the distance.
Minaret in the center of town.
The Souq (market) guards. Times haven't changed for them.
