An American tourist in Yemen -video

 


A traveler from the United States goes to Yemen. Yemen is sadly not yet prepared for tourism, in my opinion. However, it's heart-wrenching to imagine what it would be like to be there. He was practically the only visitor to the beautiful resort.

Rally Accident - Al-Attiyah&Baumel

 


  Just read  the news that defending champ Nasser Saleh Al Attiyah had to withdraw from the Lebanon International Rally! 😢💔 This is the fourth round of the Middle East Rally Championship, and it's such a   pity  that he got involved in a serious accident yesterday. 🚗💥 

No worry, they're both totally fine and in great health, thank goodness! Unfortunately, their car took quite a beating and suffered some major damage, which means they won't be able to finish the rest of the rally.

10k people missing in Libya - mind-boggling numbers


Can you believe it? 😱 There are like 10k people missing in Libya! It's absolutely mind-blowing!  They're probably gone after the dams burst! 😱💔

What's the real cause of this tragic loss? 😢💔 
OMG, the dams weren't even renovated! 😱 Then this crazy storm came and  the dam fell! 🌪️ Can you believe it? And to make things worse, the authorities totally misguided people by telling them to stay at home instead of evacuating. 🤦‍♀️ 


Dam breaks have happened before.The largest occurred in China in 1975, although they occurred worldwide. Human error, corruption, poor engineering, etc. cause it.

Always should  be maintained and monitored the safety.
Dams + corrupt government = catastrophe

Hamad Port Visitor Center - book your visit

 




Where exactly is this place? The official address is actually the Hamad Port Visitors Center, located in Umm AL-Houl, Qatar. It takes about 40 minutes by car to get there from Doha.

ADVERTISED TICKETS

Adult and above 12 years old 50 QAR
Child between 5 and 12 years old 30 QAR
Child below 5 years old Free


Based on my previous booking experiences, it appears that only online tickets are available and the accepted payment method is limited to credit card transactions. Furthermore, it is essential to make a reservation well in advance.If you are planning to visit on the weekends.




The Hamad Port Visitors Center is a one-of-a-kind structure created specifically to highlight Qatar's maritime heritage and accomplishments. The facility has a maritime museum, a 4D theater, virtual simulators, an auditorium, a kids' play area, and Qatar's first oceanic aquarium.

What do people think about it ?

Those who had complaints about the place mentioned the inconvenient opening hours for families and the only online ticketing possibilities. 
Not working cinema while full price had to be paid. Technical failures with the ticketing were the major issues with this new place in Qatar, according to Google reviews.

Other people had better experiences like :

" Weekend tickets should be booked a week in advance. They organized and kept everything perfectly." " Aquatic life is well-represented in the aquarium. Good car parking." " Inside viewing takes 1.5 hours easy." " In summary, Hamad Port and Aquarium is not just a place to visit; it's an adventure, an education, and a wonder all rolled into one. A must-visit for both locals and tourists alike!" " The 4D Theatre experience was especially enjoyed by the kids and adults alike. Make sure you go for the show in the language that you can follow and check that you get the 4D experience as this could be accidentally turned off. You even get to experience water and wind 🙂"

Cupping therapy in Qatar - by Umm Slal Health Center

 As part of a pilot phase, Umm Slal Health Center now offers this ancient practice to enhance patient health, expedite recovery, and prioritize patient safety.





 Patients who can participate in this program are those who have been diagnosed with chronic headaches of unknown causes, refractory migraines, carpal tunnel syndrome without the need for surgery, muscle imbalances and postural dysfunction, refractory muscle spasms, neck and upper or lower back pain, and chronic diseases such as eczema and asthma, as well as skin diseases like acne.


Cupping therapy is generally safe, but it's important to keep in mind that it may not be suitable for everyone. According to PHCC, pregnant women and patients with certain conditions such as acute hepatitis, tuberculosis, heart disease, arrhythmia, pacemaker implantation, blood clotting diseases like hereditary hemorrhagic disease, use of anticoagulants, severe anemia, and kidney failure should avoid this type of therapy.
