Lets see where you live! Here are some pics of my where I live, the city of Doha, Qatar:

The pyramid shaped building is the Sheraton Doha, famous for its spectacular interior (pictured below):

Some pictures from round and about Doha:









The "old" section of Doha, where the Sofitel hotel is and many of the city's cheaper shops are located:


The Sheraton and some buildings around it at night:


The Doha skyline (which has even more towers now) seen at sunset:


The Doha Ritz Carlton, one of the best hotels here:


And finally, the Doha City Centre, currently the largest mall in the Mideast:

Wow -- you live in a nice area!

This is the apartment complex I'm currently living in:


This is the Roskilde Cathedral, burial-place of all Danish kings & queens for the past couple of centuries. It's on the UNESCO World Heritage list.


And finally, if you're into music, this is probably what Roskilde is most known for, the Roskilde Festival:

Tel Aviv :

The City of Tel Aviv was founded in 1909, with Jaffa joining the municipality in 1949. The White City was constructed based on an urban plan by Sir Patrick Geddes. Tel Aviv is the country’s business center, as well as its center for cultur, art, music, dance, theater, fashion and cuisine.

The United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) has declared Tel Aviv a World Heritage Site for its treasure of Bauhaus architecture. Tel Aviv’s so-called White City is home to more buildings in the Bauhaus or Modern Movement style than anywhere in the world.

Puh, nice pictures, but some of them are way too big. It takes quite a while before they show up.

Anyway, this is Berlin:

Awwww. The Isle of Man. Such a nice place. Will have to pay a return visit for a weekend methinks.

Thanks for the photos.

Wow! I was really amazed by Doha...I'd like to check out a lot of the Gulf states like Oman, Qatar, Bahrain, Dubai, and Kuwait one day. This may seem like a dumb question perhaps, but how safe are Americans in those Gulf states right now? That would be my only hesitation, besides the oppressive heat of course.

Thanks for posting!

Here is my city. The great city of Seattle.

Let me put it this way: Qatar has a community of over 2,000 Americans, and there has not been a single attack against any racial group or nationality. There are no extremists here (as in extreme enough to turn to terrorism), and you are perfectly safe if you visit. You have absolutley notihng to worry about. The city is full of expats - Germans, British, Norweigens, French - nobody has any problems. The locals are generally pretty friendly to foreigners.

As for the heat, you can avoid it if you visit in March/April - The temperature is still in the low 30s (C) in those months, and it is great because its hot enough to swim and have a lot of fun but not too hot. Its 40C today  .

Quoting Cumulonimbus (Reply 10): Wow QR332, Doha is one of the most spectacularly beautiful places I have seen!!! I would love to visit one day.

Thanks! It is a very nice city, I wouldn't call it beautiful, but an excellent place to live. I've been here for 10 years and when I first came to the city, there was nothing, and I mean nothing. the city really developed under Sheikh Hamad Bin Khalifa, and hes done a great job at developing Qatar's economy. I definatley recommend a visit.

Good ole Canberra

Utrecht, Netherlands

The 4th largest city in the Netherlands, we are home to the largest University (Universiteit Utrecht). We are also the rail hub of the country. The Dom Tower pictured below is the tallest in the country and is situated near the Oude Gracht (the Old Canal) our main shopping street.

Cool...thanks for answering my question. I'll definitely consider the general area for a future trip. Not sure when yet, as I'm starting grad school soon, but it seems like an amazing place to go.

I live about maybe 500 meters from this building. My house is not seen in the picture.







Durring the Miami Grand Prix

Well there are some parts of Miami.

I don't have a picture of the building I live in - I somehow managed to delete the pictures I made last year when I moved in... but I was out yesterday evening taking some pictures of Frankfurt's skyline - and here it is:



I took this picture from the "Alte Brücke" (Old Bridge) crossing the river Main, this is southwest of downtown, I live northwest of downtown.

Quoting QR332 (Thread starter): Lets see where you live! Here are some pics of my where I live, the city of Doha, Qatar:

I'm impressed! Not to sound geographically stupid but, what body of water is Doha on? Are there beaches?

And, I've always wanted to see the homeland of my people-Israel. Tel Aviv looks cool and I understand the beaches and women are hot. A former co-worker of mine grew up in Tel Aviv and she said the humidity is intense during the hot weather months.
BTW, I'm born and raised and still live in Baltimore, Md. USA.
Apartment complex I reside
Pimlico Race Course -Home of the Preakness
I grew up a half mile Northeast of this famous race track. My parents still reside in the same modest house. And not much inside has changed!
Inner Harbor- Baltimore

Quoting Zippyjet (Reply 30): I'm impressed! Not to sound geographically stupid but, what body of water is Doha on? Are there beaches?

Doha is on the Persian Gulf, there are plenty of very nice beaches. It is North of Saudi Arabia, here is a map:

I'm Palestinian and I still haven't gotten the chance to see Palestine or Israel - we were supposed to go back in 2000 but then the intifada started... the cities I want to see the most are Nablus, Jerusalem, Jaffa & Acre. As for the heat and humidity, trust me, nothing beats the humidity and heat of Qatar and the other countries of the Persian Gulf.

Quoting Zippyjet (Reply 30): Inner Harbor- Baltimore

My dad went to the John Hopkins Medical Centre in Baltimore a few years ago, they said the inner harbour area was really nice. I would love to visit the US some day and see all of the major cities, its something I definatley plan on doing as soon as I can.

P.S. I like those pictures of South Beach -- been there twice

It gets hot.

Venice, Italy - a few photos I took a while ago:




It's a pretty nice place to live in, if a bit annoying at times (billions of tourists in the summer, the heat, the fact that you have to schlep your luggage to the nearest boat stop when you travel....you name it). I am in the process of moving to Trieste with my family - nice place, but I fear I will miss Venice - I DID grow up here after all.

This is Trieste's main square, Piazza Unità d'Italia:

WOW! I had only heard about te Sheraton Doha through our company internal grapevine, but never knew that it was indeed this beautiful. No wonder our company is proud of our hotels in the Middle East.

Quoting TUNisia (Reply 23): Rhode Island

I looked at this picture and my Johnson & Wales days came right back to me. Had a great time at school. I really miss Providence.

But now I live in the wonderful San Francisco.

Goodness... what a pleasant surprise in Leviticus's post. Lol, mods you might wanna take care of that before Kiwi-Nanday creams himself.

HAHAHHAHHAHAA

I'm sure he did that to spite us after being permanently banned.

Leviticus- You without a doubt really hate my guts, but that was pretty awesome.

I'll definitely have to take a trip to Stockholm, based on the pictures in the post of (the soon-to-be former member) Leviticus.

Ok here is my city, Perth in West Australia
