Must visit activities in Qatar: visit the Inland see and Desert Safari Camel ride point at Al Wakrah

🔹The Desert Safari Camel ride point at Al Wakrah is a special tourist camp at the edge of the desert with camels residing there. I was positively impressed that all the camels are very well looked after. I had there my first camel ride ever: actually the scariest moment is when a camel gets up or sits down, but otherwise these are very calm animals if they are treated well. You can choose between a short trial ride (like 5-7 min) or a longer ride up to the dunes. You can also get introduced to falcons here: as you know, falconry is one of the oldest traditions in the Middle East, and a good bird costs thousands!

The Inland Sea, or Khor Al Adaid, is one of the most unique sights of the country, and it’s located in a short ride from Al Wakrah!

You can’t come to Kobe and not to try their world famous Kobe meat!👇🏻👇🏻👇🏻

Everyone knows that Kobe meat is the best meat on Earth! And it won’t be hard for you to find a place to try it, as there are lots of touristy restaurants in central Kobe that promote their meat menu visibly.

We went to a restaurant called 5 Stars, which has 5 types of meat, with A5 being the cheapest and the least posh on the menu (just to compare, A4 is presumed to be a super good and expensive meat in the UK).

We went for Kobe meat nigiri and two steaks, the second option – a bit better than A5 – and the most expensive one, the phantom meat – it was about 250$ for 120g of meat.

I’m not sure you can really spot the difference on videos as meat is served similarly but believe me you feel it when you eat it!

Planning to visit Baku in the future? Don’t miss this museum!👇🏻

📍Heydar Aliyev Center is a fantastic architectural masterpiece by Zaha Hadid, a museum and a cultural centre.
The centre opened in 2012 and is named after Heydar Aliyev, the first secretary of Soviet Azerbaijan (1969-1982) and the president of Azerbaijan (1993-2003).
It’s a great starting point to learn various aspects of Azerbaijani culture and heritage: for instance, to see traditional carpet themes and ornaments.
Another thing to do is to admire the art of doll making with the rarest dolls in the collection made by Azerbaijan’s first doll-makers Luisa Daghistanly and Solmaz Musayeva.
There’s also a fantastic representation of traditional musical instruments such as kamancha, garmon, saz, balaban and so on: you can not only see them on display, but also hear them and watch them in the making!
Exhibition Mini Azerbaijan features a few dozen of the most prominent architectural sites of the country (including the centre itself of course!). There’s also a car collection and a number of modern art objects.
