Arab Games Gymnastics

For about three weeks, the Arab Games are taking place in Doha. On the weekend I went and bought some tickets to see artistic gymnastics. The tickets only cost about $2.50 each so I thought it would be some inexpensive entertainment.
Although it wasn't easy to get out on a school night, we headed into town. When we arrived at the venue, they didn't bother checking our tickets. I think they were just appreciative of having an audience. There must have only been a couple of hundred spectators at the most. So we sat where we wanted and had a great view. These athletes are by no means Olympic contenders, but it was interesting to see.
Our ride to the stadium....

Lots of empty seats...



The 'torch' which has a rotating restaurant at the top, a hotel and not sure what else??
