Alexis visited Qatar for 5 days to see his father who got a job there as an architect. Qatar is located in the Arabian Peninsula, with Doha as its capital. Most residents of Qatar are Muslim and speak Arabic. During his trip, Alexis explored Doha by car since there is no metro system yet, and visited sites like the Islamic Art Museum which featured historical armor and an exhibit on women. His favorite moment was when someone placed a parrot on his head.

2. Last March, our classmate Alexis (and his
brother, Dimitris) visited Qatar for 5 days.
When he came back, we interviewed him
and this is what he told us:

3. Qatar is in the Arabian Peninsula and
its capital is Doha. People in Qatar
speak Arabic. Most of them are
Muslim and pray five times a day.

4. Alexis stayed in Doha. He went there
to visit his father. He is in architect
but people don’t build many things in
Greece now, so he found a job in
Qatar. In Qatar, they are building
new buildings all the time and most
of them are tall.

5. Alexis went everywhere by car
because there is no metro yet. He
visited the Islamic Art Museum. In
the museum there were armors and,
on the second floor, there was an
exhibition about women and some of
them had moustaches.

6. Alexis would love
to stay in Qatar forever.
He had a great time
and enjoyed every
moment but his
favourite moment was
when somebody put
a parrot on his head.

7. When he returned to Greece he
showed us some pictures and he was
very happy about his trip.
