The Melia

The Melia is another hotel in Doha and is also home to a variety of restaurants. We were lucky enough to dine in Signature by Sanjeev Kapoor which offers modern Indian cuisine. Each dish has so much thought in the presentation. Even the very first which is a mango starter to cleanse and refresh the palette before eating.

Something Historical

For those who love all things involving history. Zubarah Fort is about an hour and a half drive from Doha, there is even a bus route to this area from Doha. Zubarah Fort is an archaeological site famous for the fort that still stands there. The fort was built by Sheikh Abdullah bin Jassim Al Thani in 1938 and has since been renovated into a museum where you can see all the archaeological findings they have found. It was once a successful pearl fishing and trading port.
