And Finally: Qatar

Qatar was the last leg of our trip. It was by far the most modern Middle Eastern country that we traveled to on our trip. It was also the richest by far. In fact, the richest country in the world, if you measure by per capita GDP. And surprisingly it's not oil, but natural gas, that they make their money from.

It was very modern, and seemingly socially progressive compared to the other stops on our trip.

All in all, I think everyone was blown away by the country. Be it the beautiful buildings and architecture, or the fun sand dune hopping we did, we all had a good time.

And now I'm back in cold Durham!

Maybe I will blog about our Christmas soon...
