Quest 2 Qatar - Episode 12

  • last year
As dusk approached we enjoyed the last moments of natural daylight with a view of one of the most iconic buildings in the Middle East. As the skyline lit up we followed the colors to the boardwalk along the Corniche and witnessed one of the most spectacular and technologically advanced water and light shows I have ever seen.

00:08 So this quest to Qatar, we're looking at
00:26 night city life.
00:28 What a building to start it all off in.
00:31 We're at Lusail and this is the Crescent Tower,
00:34 the famous Crescent Tower.
00:36 Now it wasn't built in time for World Cup 2022,
00:40 but it's still impressive nevertheless.
00:43 And you can see the curvature and the style of the building
00:46 is based off of the curved blades.
00:49 So the curved swords that you see as an emblem
00:52 for the Qatar national flag.
00:55 Looks a bit like Gandhi's.

02:33 an amazing light show or water show.
02:36 Shukran.

02:42 Another beautiful skyline.
02:45 It's in the night.
02:46 That's the back of a big sperm whale.
02:49 The colors are so impressive.
02:54 With all this beauty, I have one question.
02:59 I wonder what their electricity bill must be like.
03:02 Magnificent, but probably very costly.
03:06 [Music]
03:10 Here at the Corniche, and it promises to be a spectacular water show.
