Evening Harmonies in Al Bidda Park- 2026

 The weather is wonderful—this is the best time of year for walking in parks. While walking through Al Bidda Park, I met a few kitties asking for food. It seems they used to rely on a small restaurant that has since closed, and they’re too urban to hunt for themselves.



The yellow trumpetbush (Tecoma stans) is blooming in the park. Its sweet, nectar-like, honeyed scent always enchants me.




Among the bushes and trees, you can spot a traditional, slender minaret. At sunset, the call to prayer and the birds’ chirping blend together—a typical acoustic memory of Qatar that I will always cherish. Right in the heart of the city.
