Here's an oddity - the parking garage on the upper five levels of "City C Centre" in the Souk area of Doha. City C Centre is a three floor indoor souk - that seems never to have been used or opened.
Temperature when I took these pictures was 107 degrees F (almost 42 C), and 89% humidity. Ugh.
However, you can drive up to the top levels of the parking garage.
Access is still open to drive up though, but the elevators to the ground floors don't work and the stairwells have been used as an open toilet. The parking lines aren't faded, the dust and sand are that thick.
Stairwell on the top level. You can see where there concete is cracking and the paint is peeling
One of the covered levels. Here the dust and sand really show up. There's even a ripple pattern because it's been undisturbed for so long
Here you can see the ripple pattern closely. Basically little tiny dunes.
View from the roof, towards the old palace.
Another view from the roof, looking down at the other souks in this area
The 5th level elvators. That brownish glaze on the doors is rust. They aren't operational
