When all humans. Doha Airport (DOH)

• When all humans. Doha Airport (DOH)

I love to be in comfortable ultra-modern airports. Of course, when it is a space city with lots of shops, entertainment, restaurants, huge business lounges and even a swimming pool, there is not a sin and a couple of nights to spend the night on the way to travel, or vice versa ...

Judging from this airport, Qatar decided to firmly take up the Emirates and Dubai in a bid to break their hegemony in the long-haul market and grab a huge part of the Middle East transit pie ...

So, welcome to one of the coolest airport in the world - Doha, capital of Qatar.

To date, Doha is almost on a par with Dubai is one of the world's largest hubs, through which laid thousands of air routes throughout the world. Every day tens of thousands of people come here from Europe, America, Asia or Australia for transplants in America, Asia, the Middle East or Africa.

Flying up to this giant, did not immediately say that inside you waiting for the most almost XXII century ...

Almost barren landscape, concrete and sand in the desert haze ... Well, there may be special?

But no! Inside, everything is completely different. The first thing that catches your eye when you leave in the transit terminal, - a huge yellow bear on a pedestal. Who and what he is doing? I have no idea, but it so happened that he became almost a symbol of the airport, meeting almost on every fifth photos tagged Doha instagrame.

All of the interior of the airport, as in the science fiction film.

Even Duty Free shops are not as boring as other airports ...

Children's play area - it is something!

These men can be found everywhere, in different parts of the airport.

Working areas, if someone needs to work on the computer. Everything here is on a 27-inch iMac.

a food court for every taste and budget. From low-cost ...

... to caviar snack with mad prices.

If you go up to the second floor of the central gallery, you will find yourself in an unusual lobby.

You know, what is it?

This is the swimming pool! Swimming pool at the airport, Carl!

Here, on the second floor of the terminal, there are huge business lounges. This corporate reception lounge airline Qatar.

This is not a tiny business hall Simferopol airport) where you fit several thousand people ...

And this is business-longe, not a business room, I was often asked to "correct" to say some commentators.

Hall is a place even the language does not turn to call ...

There are lots of seating areas with different interiors and executed in different colors.

Press, sir!

Since the. Via Doha airport runs many transit routes, a lot of people have to wait for transplantation through the night.

You can do it in the waiting room, and you can at the hotel right on the airport. 1 double room here costs about $ 50 per night.

standard room perfectly with standard amenities and set of services.

By the way, $ 50 for a room is not so much, it is usually more expensive.

Well. and again in the morning ... on a plane and fly farther.

Or on a journey, or home ...
