Adventures during Ramadan

Qatar Foundation held a Ramadan celebration at the Al-Shaqab riding stables. These pictures are from the horse show during dinner. The horses were beautiful - some of them are pure Egyptian horses.



























Al Jazeera Television Station:













The TAs from Cornell had the opportunity of touring Al Jazeera TV station, which was founded in Qatar in 1996. I was surprised and impressed by their design and technology, as well as their plans for an International network.
Although the station is controversial and criticized in the US and other Arab countries, they gave us a rather interesting pitch about freedom of speech being the goal of the station - not an outlet for terrorists.
