City Centre During Ramadan

It really does feel good to walk around City center where you can actually feel the spirit of the Ramadan season.
Not to many people at around 19:30 and 21:00 as Iftar is around 18:00.

The parking lot is such a welcoming sight since I almost never find it so empty. The mall is decorated with lots of lanterns and lights and this model setup of an Arabian or past household of a traditional Qatari family with animated mannequins.

People are shopping and enjoying the shops being open till 01:00am..

All in all its pretty calm and laid back during this month and makes life all around town seem so much more peaceful and pleasant. I can't wait for the days off during Eid next month.

Nice and empty. Where are the people? Financial crisis, or what?

Thanks Galloper, I already checked that site but I dont think it is upgraded for Ramadan. The reason I need to know is I work night shift and the only time I can get down from Al Khor for my weekly shop is very early on a Friday morning.

Totally agree about the car park! I went last night at around 7:30pm and it was like a ghost town. I usually can't go near the City Centre carpark, it just drives me crazy.

I looooove parking lot of CC during Ramadan!

Now instead of spending 20 minutes for looking any spot, you spend the same 20 minutes for choosing the place to park out of hundreds of available spots...

but what a pleasure!
