Might I suggest you actually spend the day/night here and catch a flight (ME) the next day to Doha? You'll be surprised at how much the city has to offer. Maybe even visit the AUB campus? It's one of the most beautiful campuses in the region... Just my 2 cents...
Good suggestion. Have spent lots of time on the AUB campus and it is lovely!
