from the page: "DOHA (AFP) — Qatar ordered the closure of Israel's trade office in Doha over the Jewish state's war on Gaza, Qatar's official news agency reported on Sunday, citing a foreign ministry official...Qatar, previously the only Gulf Arab state with Israeli trade ties, said officials working at the Jewish state's trade office, open since 1996, have seven days to leave the country. Qatar and Mauritania decided on Friday to "suspend" their relations with Israel at an Arab summit in Doha called to discuss the Israeli onslaught on Gaza, a Mauritanian diplomat told AFP."

The alignment of this house was striking, with a view to the nearby chimney and on the isolated house in the centre of the valley.

We found a good place to scramble up from Mysterious City, but the overhang looked very unstable around this edge of the valley.

Mysterious chimneys

Mysterious chimneys

As well as the strange buildings, Mysterious City has many small rock constructions. These are shaped like a chimney, although that's clearly not their purpose.

There was a cold winter breeze on this day in the desert, and so we had lunch in a sheltered corner.

Mysterious City

Our friends from Doha called this place Mysterious City; some other people seem to call it Mystery Valley. The common theme is that people don't know the purpose of these stone huts, which are all in a small valley in the Qatar desert.

Lonely house

Erosion has progressively isolated this house, and even the walking path up to the house is now unusable.

صانعه ، فــنــان ٍ ، بالإبـــداع مخلص
حازلـه مـن ,, GM ,, شهاده و تقدير
جمــس ٍ تــرا شــد البلــد مـا تهـروص
من (تيـمنٍ) و من (الكرنـك) و إلى (السـير)
حرآرتـه مآ عمرهــاآ طقــت النص
تحت الربع دايـم بظهــر ٍ او عصيــر
ما هـو -شـاص ٍ - يكسـر الظهر و العـص
جــمـس ٍ مريـح ٍ فـي (جميـع المشـاوير)
مركبـه ..واسـع..فخـم..مـا هوب مرتـص
يـفرق بميـــزات ٍ كثيره عن الغير
ما همه البــر ، و نفــوده ، مع القص
معــروف في بــران نجد المخاضير
صوتــه ليــاآ مـن سمعه الخبل يرقـص
وطــربــه قــزوزاتــه تزيــح التــكآآآديييــر
الكـربليتــر مـص بـتـرولنــا مــص
حتـى (بن سعود) اشــتكى لاهل الخيـــر
راح المحاكــم و اتجــه ثــم تخــربـص

جمس ٍ ترا ما صنعه كود ، مختص ،
صنعتـه نــدره في جمـيع المواتير
تايره بالــون ٍ جديد و مرصــص
و جنط الوكـاله و الطيس شكلها غير
ما ساقه إلي دايـم ٍ حب ٍ و فص
يسوقه إلي طنخته ( حــد الآخير )

جيتكم بعد غيبه طوييله بصوره جديده ..
