DOHA: There was an exciting party mood last night all over Corniche as thousands flocked to witness and enjoy the revelry that capped the evening edition of the National Day Celebration.
The fireworks display which lasted for 10 minutes highlighted the event, however, the festive parade of cars mostly by Qataris added merriment to the event.
Spectators murmured in chorus as they expressed in great amazement when the barrage of fireworks started to shoot up the sky with different styles and colours plus a mix of a loud boom that synchronised the glittering starry-like sparks coming from the small boats that was used as the base of the pyrotechnics.
There were blowing of horns either from cars and hand-pumped plastic toy horns just to make noise everywhere as another way of showing of fun and enjoyment regardless of nationality or race.
There was heavy traffic last night when everybody went home after the fireworks display that vehicle movements were at a snail’s pace.
