Dip Club

The Dip Club is a place we go to to swim. It also has a gym which I try to get to a couple of times a week, my only exercise apart from walking up flights of stairs in the apartment block!

Check out this link and zoom out using the side bar, you will see that the Dip Club is opposite The Pearl which is a huge off-shore development with large scale building going on. The Dip Club has its own private beach overlooking The Pearl. It's a great place to spend the weekend relaxing away from the eyes of muslim men as it's not really the done thing for women to swim at the local beaches. If we drive out of Doha we are able to find deserted beaches to swim in but when you are living and working in the city and the weather is starting to heat up the Dip Club is truly wonderful.
