Staycation and Banana Island

The girls had a school break in February and since travel outside of Qatar still isn't an option we decided to do a small staycation. We'd seen an ad for a night hotel in Souq Waqif and then day access and transport to Banana Island (a hotel resort just off the coast of Qatar near the airport - and yes it is shaped like a banana 😂). 

We ordered takeout and spent the evening in our hotel room playing games (Spot It and Monopoly are the favorites currently) and also did some face masks. It was a super fun pajama party with lots of laughter.

The next morning we had breakfast in the hotel and then headed out to catch the ferry boat over to Banana Island. We spent the day rotating between the water park, beach swings, pool and hot tub across the resort. We played games over lunch and had an amazing time! 

Such a fun way to finish their week off school and do something different together. ❤️
