Qatar 4K - Driving Downtown - Skyline Sunrise

Made it to Qatar! First time. Corniche to West Bay to Lusail. Doha is similar to Abu Dhabi and Dubai. A focus on the luxury tourism market. The building in the thumbnail is the Katara Towers (Raffles Doha Hotel/Fairmont Doha Hotel). Overall the real estate and architecture is just as incredible as Abu Dhabi/Dubai/Singapore. Filmed in HDR in 4K60FPS for 75 inch + OLED TV's. Almost done with the Middle East for now. I will visit Saudi Arabia next time!
