patgundFirst off, Doha is attempting to challenge Dubai as a "tourism hot-spot".
Is Qatar the Next Dubai?
Thing is this...
Dubai offers sand, sea.....indoor ski slopes, casinos, bars and alcohol, and fairly open prostitution. Bahrain offers sand, sea, alcohol, etc.
But Doha?? Sand and sea........and that's really about it. Very little here to challenge or interest the Western eye.
Not to be outdone, KSA is trying to promote themselves as a tourist destination (YEAH RIGHT!!!!!)
Saudis hope stones mystery will appeal to tourists
Hint to the House of Saud.....pull your kingdom out of the dark ages and your head out of your butts, then maybe you have a chance as a tourism spot. But as long as you treat non-Wahabists as idiots, non-Muslims as sub-humans, and treat women like camel dung, you're not going to be on many tourist destinations.
Actually, since the stones in question hint at pre-Islamic Goddesses and Gods, I'm quite surprised they're either not trying to ignore them, or "accidently" destroy them.......
