2011 Qatar National Day

About two years ago, I posted my photo essay about how Qatar celebrate their National Day: Qatar National Day. This year, I did not go the that parade, an National Parade, I thought that was enough, but I want to see something else.

Yes, Qatar government still held that parade in the morning, but in the afternoon they were having fireworks by the Corniche. Last year I watched it with some friends as through a balcony of a restaurant that has a very nice location to see the fireworks, This year I decided to skip all that fancy dinner and just go down there, where the action happen, and these are the picture of what I’ve seen at the Corniche of Doha:

Started off by spraing ‘foam spray’ from the car to the “less fortunate” people at the sidewalk of the street

The ‘Nationalist’ showing off by standing on top of moving car

This time ‘sitting’ on cars with a sword

Worshiping the Emir of Qatar….

“Qatar” car on parade

Cars showing the Emir’s picture… presumable the driver can still see thru the window, but how about other driver… to see whether there is a driver driving this car?

Fireworks celebrating the National Day….
