10 things to do on a rainy day

Brace yourselves, winter is coming. With rain starting to pour in through all parts of Doha, we can officially say that sweater weather has arrived. Below is a list of 10 things to do in Qatar on a rainy day:

1) Karak- you just can't go wrong with karak, rain or no rain.

2) Cinema- if you're not a fan of rainy weather this is the perfect time to leave the house, yet stay indoors. So, check out the latest movie attractions.

3) Coffee shop-  go to your favorite coffee shop and treat yourself. You can do this with a group of friends, or just by yourself. 

4) Take a walk (or a jog)-  there are several parks around Doha, so if you don't mind getting a little wet you can enjoy a walk in the park. You'll get some exercise and fresh air! 

5) Go to the museum- This is the perfect oppurtunity to enjoy indoor activities. Take a look at what's in story in Doha's artistic and cultural scene.

6) High tea- Go all out and treat yourself with some tea, scones, and sandwiches and much more.

7) Grab a book: Nothing beats a good book on a rainy day. 

8) Board games- Stay indoors and enjoy a game of scrabble with your family and friends.

9) Sheesha- This might not be for everyone, but sheesha on a rainy day is definitely worthwhile. There are several sheesha spots around Doha.

10) Cruising- create the ultimate rainy day playlist and take a ride out and about in Doha (or out to avoid the traffic!). Make sure to drive carefully!

If you've got any fun rainy day activities in mind, please share!

Generally something running in good shape is not the norm here. So amidst all that is not as it should be, just accepted QL in its current form. Now it feels that I wouldnt be able to cope if it turns better...:)

I used to play scrabble with my Cuban Shotputter.. We took joy in making words like "love", "cuddle", "thrill", "spandex", "visa' ... Good times
