Entertainment City

After having so much fun during our desert outing I decided we should head for Entertainment City in Doha for some more fun. We haven't visited this place in years, it was pretty much the same but some of the good rides like the space needle, dhow boat ride, smaller roller coaster and log ride were closed for "maintenance" so I wonder if they were broke and no one cared to fix them or what.

 Bull ride

 This ride killed us, it lasted a long time and turned us upside down more than we wanted.

 Cute, but does anyone really care?

I had my eyes closed the whole time on this one.

 You have to pay 2 KD for this ride, it's short but worth it

 The ghetto fabulous safari ride

 The track for a short car ride

 Always a good ride for chilling

 This reminds me of Knott's Berry Farm

Old West theme

It's 3.500 KD entrance fee, some rides you have to pay extra. It's open now for Winter hours which are 4-10 weekdays, 10-10 weekends and Monday is for ladies only. It's too bad Touristice Enterprises does not promote the various places of entertainment, the park could use some trimming and paint. I don't think people venture out there anymore since Avenues has opened which is good for those who want to ride and not wait forever.

Men experience child birth- something they should all be MADE to do!

This is so funny, maybe those guys will appreciate their wives now.

Our day in the desert with a side of camel Farms

We decided to take a family trip to the desert for the holiday off. We all met up, packed everyone in the SUV and headed out toward Kabd. You take the 6th ring and exit to the left where it says Kabd and head straight down the road. You will come across some people selling stuff like fireworks (I thought they were illegal?) charcoal, wood and ice cream. You will begin to see some activity a little further down on the right.

 

Out in the desert you will see horses, donkeys, buggies and lots of people having fun. As soon as you pull up a herd of animals and their keepers will run toward you. There are horses for 1 KD, camels, donkeys with carts and buggies (2 KD for 30 minutes) waiting for you to pick so bring cash.

This donkey reminds me of Tijuana, Mexico, I have a picture of me as a child sitting on a donkey with a cart.

After riding horses and buggies we head straight down, make a u-turn and take a right into the camel areas. The area is full of camel farms and auctions, we decided to pull off the main road and find some camels we could get close to. We found this farm with white camels and one brown baby. The camels came up to us and kissed the kids. When we were taking pics the baby camel kept pulling my hair, I guess he liked the herbal essence shampoo.

After a whole bunch of pictures it was time to leave and say bye to the camels, not much has changed since the last time we visited 5 years ago except the addition of 3 kids. I love the place, I wish they had a petting zoo or a place like The Little Jungle.

Throwback Thursday- Stevie B

Ahh yes the time of big hair, tight pants and sweet rides with furry car seat covers, so simple and so long ago.

Leave it to Pitbull to come up with a new version of Spring Love with lots of flesh.
