Doha Event: Cirque De Soleil

We wanted to go watch the Cirque de Soleil and we did! The show was amazing if not spectacular. Sometime last year, we watched the Circus at the Souq Waqif and we were similarly impressed with the stunts.

We didn't book the tickets until the last minute so we were not able to  buy the tickets at Virgin. Luckily, one of our mum friends' nanny got sick (sorry!) so we were able to purchase two tickets from her. One mum's misfortune, another mum's fortune.

It was just two of us, me and Kylie and we had a fabulous time! A quality mum and daughter time ; except at the very end where crankiness got in the way. The show ended after 2 hours and 40 minutes including intermission and since we had the 8PM show, we ended up until 10:40pm.

The most wonderful thing that we noticed is the structure and organization of the show; people were calm, no pushing, no waiting which is really not so common in Doha. The show started at 8PM on the dot!  And we got good seats so it was really a fun show. The show was so audacious so compared to the normal circus, it was easy for us to take their courage and their capability and flexibility for granted.

Our little girl love the wonderful colors on stage and she said she will writing something about this grand show. Let's see what she writes.

Hope everyone in Doha who watched the show had a great time!

Mommy Moments - Doha Circus at the Souq

Kids time celebration of Love and we celebrated the Valentine's Day with the kids and my little brother by watching the Circus.I know, i know - again with contradicting the rant - love day is every day, first with husband's special treat ( I wouldn't say gift!) and now with kids celebration; it's for my mommy moments which happens quite a weekly treat for me so It's really nothing just for Valentine's day.

Circus in Doha is more than an annual thing. They usually run for two periods in several locations. I'm pretty sure I've seen most of the performers before and that they call Doha their expat home same as us. Hhmm, wonder if we could have friends who work in the circus. I say, I would choose that beautiful lady who dresses way too quickly! Oh what fab friend she would make.

We arrived almost 15 minutes after the circus started so we didn't get a good seat in front. The Souq venue is small anyways so we had a good view also. We had to buy popcorn (10QR), cheese curls (5QR), juice (10QR). This is in addition to what we paid for the discounted circus entrance fees of 60QR for all of us. It's a bit expensive but seeing the kids enjoy and be amazed with the tricks, clowns, water show, flying trapeze and acrobats is so worth it.

water show before the 1st intermission break

keep shouting at this two performers - it's way too dangerous for my world - physics!

Just look at the turknoys - so dazzled!

This is THE woman who can change dresses in seconds - really!

The mommy poses - the kids are preoccupied with how things work! Mommy Moments indeed!

HAPPY LOVE DAY!
