The Masked Man
In the streets of Doha, you might have come across this guy dreesed in local attire. Most of us never knew his name or what he did for a living.
His name is Ahmed Mohammad Al Jaber, also known in Arabic by his alias, Al Muqanna' which literally means "The Masked Man." He got the nickname in 1960 during a bicylce race from Mesaeed to Umm Ghuwailina after he wore a mask like Batman and successfully finished the race.
We often see him in landmark locations of Doha like the Corniche and Katara or during national day celebrations and other special occasions.
If you are a long-timer or grew up in Qatar, you would know him as a legend. The sight of his cars and motorbikes always drew our attention and we'd always peek from our cars to take a look at this enigma.
Here's a piece on him done by Qatar TV a while back (we apologize if you do not understand Arabic)
