Doha COP18 guide: "Immerse yourself in Arab culture at Souq Waqif, a traditional market. Wander through the labyrinth of traditional Qatari architecture, where stalls sell everything from exotic spices and perfume, to fabrics and household goods. Visitors can barter over the local handicrafts, see the falcons for sale or relax with a shisha pipe and some Middle Eastern delicacies." (image by wikipedia)

The annual highlight of the climate tourism season - The UN COP climate jamboree - is due to begin today in Doha. While tourism in general is suffering from the global economic slowdown, climate tourism is recession-proof: Over 1400 NGOs are entitled to attend the Doha conference as "observers".
Below is a selection of the lucky ones, who will have a chance to "search for bargains along the alleys and stalls of Souq Waqif, wander among one of the world’s most extensive collections of Islamic art in the I. M. Pei-designed Museum of Islamic Art or take the family for a stroll along the scenic Corniche or beaches and shops of Katara."
