In memoriam of the old zoo of Doha ...


It wasn't the most beautiful zoo in the world, but it had a nostalgic vibe. Some parts of it were good. It had more than a thousand old, shade-giving trees. Something unusual in Qatar. There were some fountains and small man-made creeks there. It cost little. Only 5 rial for each person. Tuesdays were reserved  for ladies only .

The zebras were my favorite. I loved to watch them, and when they saw me, they often got very close. I was very scared of their elephant once. It made a lot of noise and moved toward the fence. The zoo wasn't very big, but it was just right for small children. We usually had a picnic on the grass after seeing the animals, and then went to the Zoo's playground. Wonderful memories. Goodbye, old Doha Zoo.


May  the new Safari park come as soon as possible !
