Doha: A huge portrait of Emir H H Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al-Thani was made with gravel on the ground near an airfield by Qatar Remote Control Sport Center, which comes under the Ministry of Culture and Sports.
It took then two months for them to complete the Tamim Al Majd portrait made using only black gravel near their airfield in Al Shamal road exit 54. The portrait was made to celebrate the Qatar National Day.
