The last stop, last country of our Middle East journey.
Hello travel buddies, this is Yin and Yang travel. I'm Yang.
We stayed in Egypt for 10 days and Jordan for 4 days and here we are, a fresh new country.
First impression, rich. This country, this city looks so rich. Our hotel.
You can imagine how luxurious it is.
But it's not expensive at all, well compared to the expensive ones.
It's what non-expensive hotels look like in this country.
Room tour, the best part, when all lights are turned off.
A few hours before bedtime, let's go out.
It's the historical Paneer market in the heart of the city, a must-go attraction.
Here I learned one truth, locals do not need to work.
And the hard-working people are all from other countries.
Oh, thank you.
Only egg? Yes. Spicy? Spicy, yes.
A little bit salty for me, this is called Tantuni and this is chicken wrap, very spicy.
Definitely try street food in Jordan.
By the way, we are in Doha, Qatar.
Look, the rich locals are trying good choice.
One hour before bedtime, let's enjoy the free swimming pool.
But it's only open to guests, as you need to swipe in.
Wow, making sure we will have a good sleep tonight, because tomorrow…
Morning, it's packed today as we have plans from sunrise to sunset.
Today we are joining a guided tour group to visit six attractions in Doha.
And it's included in package.
How about we visit each attraction in 10 seconds?
OK, let's go.
The first stop, Qatar Cultural Village.
The second stop, the Pearl Island.
The third stop, the Twin Towers.
The fourth stop, Doha Bay.
The fifth stop, the Royal Camels.
The last stop, Suvahur.
I'm sure I've pronounced it wrong.
Can you remember? We've been here last night.
Well, are you having fun with us?
Want to have a rest?
Let's eat.
We walked around the market until most shops are closed.
The opening hours here is 10am to noon, and then 4pm to 10pm.
Apparently, people take nap here.
So this is the whole street to ourselves.
We went back to the hotel, took a nap, because we are going somewhere to have dinner.
Believe me, it's somewhere special.
And it's included in the package.
Cool, huh?
Is that a lake or desert?
Are we gonna have dinner here?
Really?
Are you kidding?
It's a kitchen.
Yeah, I will bring all there.
Yeah, this is a kitchen.
This is a kitchen, yeah.
Beef.
This is salt.
Salty.
I think I'm eating sand.
Lamb rice.
So what we are seeing in front of us is that.
Oh, it's potato.
It's a bit windy today.
Oh, what's that?
That's a dog.
Oh, is it a fox?
Fox.
I think we have like an hour away to experience the complete darkness.
I have to actually sort out my hairs all the time.
It's 5.35am.
Oh, that's coffee.
Goodness.
It's pitch dark already.
We're going back to hotel.
And morning.
It will be our last day in Doha.
So yeah, very short three-day stay here.
And the last day of our Middle East trip.
Little did we know,
Yin was going to be significantly triggered on the last day of our 18-day trip.
Yin is a museum freak.
So Islamic art museum, here we are.
Let's have a 20-second tour.
Let's go.
All right, what's next?
Did I say that the city is rich?
How about we go somewhere really luxurious?
I am confident going there.
I've seen all luxurious places, ancient or modern ones on TV.
So what the heck?
Oh my goodness.
This level of luxury is beyond what my brain can process.
It's marble all over.
And this is a rich man profile.
The real olive trees from Europe.
These special prizes, especially expensive.
I don't normally film the toilet, but...
These pieces of jewelry do not even have price tags.
One rich local man is enjoying his afternoon tea.
Remember, they don't have to work.
Have you noticed we haven't entered any shops so far?
But Yin's not happy.
No, he's not jealous of the rich locals.
He's not happy because I insisted on blending with the rich locals.
The cake is 40 Australian dollars while the coffee is 38.
He kept nagging at me for almost two hours afterwards.
You are not one of them.
I know.
We returned to our hotel.
And this shopping center nearby is similar to Australian ones.
Very down to earth.
So Yin feels much more comfortable hanging out here.
This is the last day of our Middle East trip.
As we discovered, the tour package from a big international tour company
had us paying for most fun activities ourselves.
The trip was fun, but we could have saved money.
To save money in the future, when a tour guide is essential, here is the tip.
Contact a trusted tour guide directly.
They can arrange everything without a large international listed tour company in between.
So you may say I don't know any trusted tour guides.
Well, can't you remember Nader from Egypt and Hamid from Jordan?
I know what you lost next.
Contact details, right?
Well, leave your comments below.
Next, we're going to an amazing country.
Stay tuned.
