Still Dusty Doha/ Pretty Accurate...

Even though not as bad as last night, Doha's still dusty... The above prediction is quite descriptive and provides an accurate image of what you see when looking out the window... 

A fine layer of dust on our living room table, which managed to get through even our 'wet-toweled' and 'over-the-seam-taped' terrace doors...

More Dusty Doha - Wall of Sand...

Thought it was mist, turned out to be sand... 

The Pearl was suddenly hit by a wall of sand this evening - an literarily eye watering brume of dust. 

The wind whistling in the door seams, which are lined by a fine film of beige powder, and the building's fire-alarm giving false alarms throughout the evening...
