Losail International Circuit - Ladies only training days in May
This place is about half way between Doha and Al- Khor . From the City Center Mall it takes 30 minutes to get there by car . You can rent a bike but you must wear helmet . It is not clear if they provide the helmets or you have to bring it with you .
Every Monday ! Even during the Ramadan from 8 30 to midnight !

The largest MONOPRIX in the world is OPEN
The wait is over ! The largest MONOPRIX in the world is now open at Doha Festival City. Enjoy the ultimate shopping experience #Supermarket— Monoprix Qatar (@MonoprixQatar) April 14, 2017
I am very much eager to see that new supermarket . They promise a lots of brands that can not be bought elsewhere in Qatar . Will there be some Hungarian / Eastern European products that I have missed for long ?
Next week I might tell you more !___________________
Well - I visited the " largest Monoprix of the world " - it was a big disappointment for me . I do not know how big are the other Monoprix in the world but this one was not very big .Not bigger than other French supermarkets . There was nothing new for the Central/ Eastern European customers .I found Hajdu cheese like in any other major supermarket . The selection of items was not impressive except for the chocolate section . There were a lots of chocolate brands that you can not find at other places . Even limited edition chocolate boxes . Expensive canned tunas - over 200 rials . Organic grocery products . Nice selection of alcohol free wines . I think that one can find a good selection of gourmet gifts here . But nothing special for everyday consumption . The bread shelves were nearly empty - we had to wait at the bakery counter to be served and it was very crowded . The frozen section consisted of limited items . You can find more variety at Megamart or at Spinneys . There is a salad bar a grill bar and a pizzeria inside the supermarket . They all looked wonderful .
After the supermarket I walked to the IKEA - I had the impression that there was more special items in the Swedish grocery there than in the Monoprix .
