The Corniche and the Museum of Islamic Art

Tony and I took a stroll along the Corniche (which is a big walkway along the Arabian Gulf) and saw all the wooden Dhow boats.  Here is Tony with the West Bay skyline in the background.

We also checked out the Museum of Islamic Art. It was very beautiful inside. The pictures really can't do it justice.  It is full of artifacts from middle eastern countries dating back to the 8th century.

  1. Neat! I see several of the spots I went fishing, especially near the boats.
