Doha, Qatar

This unused postcard features The Dallah Coffee Pot Monument & Tornado Tower and was given to me in 2018.

In the Arabic world a dallah is considered a welcoming gesture, so the Dallah Coffee Pot Monument is a symbol of hospitality.

The Tornado Tower stands at a height of 640 feet (195 m) tall with 52 floors.  Construction began in 2006 and it was completed in 2008.   Due to the hour glass shape of the building, the total rentable office space available on each floor varies from 13,560–25,800 square feet.
