Our flight took us along the Persian Gulf , then over Kuwait and Iraq. From there we flew across Turkey, Switzerland and eventually landing in Paris. Since we landed so late in the day we stayed in a hotel by the airport. There is no sense paying for the nice place only to be there for the tail end of the day.
The Qatar Air logo
The dust was pretty thick
But I still managed to get some good shots of Doha
The view out of my window
Viking horn building
Flying in style
A big port area
Maybe the World Cup was played here
Very hazy in towards the dessert
Mud brick ruins in the north of Qatar
Out over the water
More developed areas
There is trouble with one of the Q-Suite doors
Caviar is served
The attendant kept calling it Beluga Whale caviar
Yums!
The Tigris River in Iraq
And the Euphrates River
The famed cradle of civizilation
Some rugged mountains
With a few large lakes
The clouds rolled in so we would not be able to see the full moon eclipse
They found another serving of caviar! You never get it if you don't ask...
Misty Mountains
The Swiss Apls
It might be the Matterhorn
Magestic
A hint of the sunset
Snow capped and filled with glaciers
Possible Lake Geneva
Descending into Charles de Gaul
