Along the way to the stadium, it will be carried by present and former Qatar Asian Games athletes and travel on a race car, bicycle and Harley Davidson motorcycle.

The flame has traveled 50,000 kilometers (30,000 miles) through 15 countries in Asia over two months. It arrived in Qatar last Saturday, and has spent the past four days traveling through the small Persian Gulf country's less well-known cities of Al Zubara, Durkhan, Al Wakra and Al Khor, and the Inland Sea.

On Thursday, the torch will leave Barzan Castle at sunrise, then through to the Doha Golf Club, the exclusive Diplomatic Club and the Qatar Sports Centre. The torch will spend the eve of the opening ceremonies at Corniche Park in the city, a popular seaside gathering point and tourism attraction.

Torchbearers on the final day will include Nada Zeidan, Qatar's first female rally driver and a member of the country's archery team, and Khalifa Al Hitmi, a former Qatari sailor and rower who competed at the 1994 Asian Games in Hiroshima, Japan.
