The Paris Saint-Germain women’s football team, which has been training in Qatar since March 29, took a well-deserved break to
explore several national landmarks around Qatar- the club's official destination. Hosted by Qatar Tourism Authority, the sightseeing
excursion and cultural activities are also an excellent way to build team spirit.
On Tuesday and Wednesday, after intense morning training sessions, the players went out to discover the treasures of Qatar:
After Monday’s trip in the desert, Tuesday’s landscape was quite changing! Ann-Katrin Berger, Laure Boulleau, Kenza Dali, Ouleye Sarr
and Caroline Seger explored the natural mangrove forest at Al Thakhira, one of Qatar's hidden treasures, and spent the afternoon kayaking in
turquoise water to discover Qatari nature. A good way to test everyone at the paddling game – well earned by Ann-Katrin Berger and Caroline
Seger!
Meanwhile, Linda Bresonik, Shirley Cruz, Aurélie Kaci, Sara Gama, Josephine Henning and Jessica Houara were visiting the cultural
village of Katara, Qatar's artistic hub featuring a variety of arts from the Arab world. Located by the sea, Katara also offers a wide array of
aquatic activities. After a pedal boat ride along the beach, the girls took a guided tour of the village's main cultural attractions, before
wrapping up their afternoon with a snack of local cuisine.
On Wednesday afternoon, Kosovare Aslanni, Sabrina Delannoy, Léa Declercq, Kheira Hamraoui, and Fatmire Alushi enjoyed a
sightseeing tour through the alleyways of Souq Waqif, Doha's traditional bazaar, to take in the smells and sounds as well as to see traditional
handicrafts. They also visited a falcon shop and tasted some local dishes.
At the same time, Karima Benameur, Marie-Laure Delie, Laure Georges, Annike Krahn, Katarzyna Kiedrzynek, and Gouthia
Karchouni took a dhow cruise along Doha Bay, delighting in the superb skyline from their traditional boat. At the sunset, the players also
learned the art of fishing - not that successful!
A digital contest with prizes for the best tweeters of the Qatar Ladies Tour
To spice up their tourist outings, the players went head to head… on social networks, in a digital contest! The players were divided into four
groups based on their activities and asked to tweet and post photos of their activities, including their team's hashtag: #QatarLadiesGreen,
#QatarLadiesPink, #QatarLadiesRed or #QatarLadiesBlue. And the winner are the ladies from #QatarLadiesPink. The team, made up of
Karima Benameur, Marie-Laure Delie, Laure Georges, Annike Krahn, Katarzyna Kiedrzynek and Gouthia Karchouni was the best
performing, with many photos and tweets posted all throughout the Qatar Ladies Tour.
