Dates, (تمر) in Qatar

Remember in my previous post, "Hot in Qatar", I mentioned the delicious fresh dates hanging from the trees? Well, as I drove home today, after work, I just had to take photos to share with you. How inviting they look and ready just in time for Ramadaan - what a treat! I just love dates! I normally love keeping them in the fridge for a day so that they get a little soft with a rich sweet taste. My post seems to have clashed with a Qatar newspaper's coverage of this yummy topic...So I have edited my post to include their article - take a look at "Gulf News post"










Dates hanging from the tree on Ramada Junction, Doha, Qatar



Nice view of the palm trees and afternoon traffic, while driving home



Dates hang in bunches - looks a bit out of my reach though
