Thanks SFO777
QR flight was reasonably good except for all the spicy food choices, right now obviously I am not very happy with them at the moment as you know.
The Hyatt is good, suites was quite nice and worthy of a Hyatt Diamond Suite Upgrade if you ask me and includes a 1 way BMW ride from the airport to the Hyatt
As for Doha, remember to rent a car or be prepared to pay limo prices to get anywhere.
I can't see Mrs. SFO777 waiting for a taxi line for half an hour.
But again, as SFO777, you clearly don't have those issues to worry about.
Doha is just not very big, city or population size (1.3 Million), I said at most 36 hours stop is all you really need.
I cover the major spots in 4 - 5 hours in my quick style.
Ya was kinda dead for sure, yet again
1) It's May, who goes to the Persian Gulf in May of all people to enjoy 35 C
2) It was a saturday so maybe people were home on the weekend
3) I don't mind dead place, dead place over overly crowded place if you ask me.

Finally, if you say, add the Grand Hyatt Doha to your bucket list.
I suggest you to add the Park Hyatt Abu Dhabi to your list first
Here's a teaser for tomorrow
