7 September 2025 Doha to Paris: Goodbye Qatar

 


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 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

It has been 3 years and 94 days since we began our Migration
