Qatar Foodie Tour: Iftar at Chili's Qatar (City Centre Doha)

It's Food Blog time again! During Ramadan, our Muslim brothers and sisters spend a whole month  fasting from dawn to sunset. In the evening, once the sun sets, they break their fast during Iftar. Because of this, most of the restaurants here in Qatar offer Iftar and Suhoor (pre-fast meal) promotions. Expats living in Qatar (even non-Muslims) enjoy these promotions because of the wide-variety of buffets (in hotels and Ramadan tents), amazing selection of set meals and discounted rates on  selected menu items in other restaurants.   Our first Iftar experience this year is with the American/Tex-Mex cuisine-based restaurant Chili's. We dined at the City Center Doha mall branch of Chili's with their 'IFTAR is all about SHARING' promotion at QAR 69.  'IFTAR is all about SHARING'  (photo from Chili's Qatar on Facebook)

West Bay Bus service in Doha

West Bay Bus West Bay Bus ad (grabbed from West Bay Bus on Facebook)  Today, I tried riding the new West Bay Bus service with my sister. It's FREE and we have two bus stops near our building. We took the Route 1 (red) bus today going to City Center and Route 2 (blue) going home.    Bus Stop No. 3 behind Movenpick Tower Doha It's really convenient because my mom and my sister can take the the Route 2 (blue) bus to the office (and get off at The Gate Mall).  This FREE service is offered by The Ministry of Transport and The Ministry of Municipality and Urban Planning of Qatar.
