00:17 In this quest to Qatar, we decided to do a bit of sightseeing and give the football
00:21 a momentary break. And what better way to start off than at the Aspire Tower,
00:27 also known as the Torch Doha. It is the tallest building in Qatar and houses, at the moment, FIFA.
00:35 Torch Tower set the Guinness World Record for being the largest external 360-degree screen
00:40 in the world. This record breaker measures 11,345 meters. That's 112,116 feet and 81 inches
00:51 and was achieved by Sports City Advertising in Doha. These screens can be seen from miles away.
00:58 Well, a very long walk in very hot conditions. Of course, it is. We're in the desert,
01:05 but all worth it to simply see the tallest building in Doha.

01:20 So, I told a little white lie. I said, "This episode, for sure, we're looking at things
01:24 other than football, but it's the World Cup. That's why we're here in Doha."
01:29 So, I had to stop off at the Khalifa International Stadium, also their national stadium.
01:34 And since it was built in 1976, they've hosted many a great sporting event.
01:39 The famous arches, how you identify.
01:43 [Music]
02:09 So, beauty all around.
02:11 [Music]
02:13 Much needed break.
02:14 [Music]
02:26 So, I'm trying to keep my mind set on sightseeing, but the football keeps drawing me in.
02:32 But we're here. We're going to look around.
02:35 [Music]
02:42 Are they from Oman?
02:44 Yes.
02:45 Okay. They're nice, very pretty.
02:47 [Music]
02:51 The craftsmanship is amazing.
02:52 [Music]
03:04 Hi, you need help? You want me to help build it?
03:08 [Music]
03:22 You guys have tassel here as well.
03:25 [Music]
03:29 Okay. Okay. Okay. I hope no crowd comes around. No crowd comes around, I get what's it called? Real?
03:42 [Music]
03:59 I think I found my group. A Qatari carnival. So, we'll trip all the way down with this one.
04:05 [Music]
04:07 West of Qatar.
