Baghdad
Doha

Answer: Doha
Also known as the Aspire Tower, the Torch is located next to the Villagio Mall on Al-Wabb street. The tower was built for the Asian Games in 2006 and has remained a landmark since then, with motorists using the illuminated structure as a navigating point to find their way around the city.
The tower also offers exciting dining options, with the famously revolving 360. It makes a complete round at a slow pace allowing diners to take in a leisurely but stunning view of Doha while enjoying their meals.
The tower has 17 floors and 167 rooms and suites. There is also a walkway connecting the Torch to the Villagio. It is currently the tallest structure in Doha but is likely to be surpassed when the Dubai Towers Doha and the Barwa Tower projects are completed.
In 2022, the Asian Games will take place in September, starting on the 10th and going up to the 25th. It is slated to be held in Hangzhou, China, but the nation which hosted the Winter Olympics might be forced to push off the Asian Games amid rising COVID-19 cases.
While countries like the US are claiming that the pandemic phase is over for them and preparing for a shift to the endemic stages, China is grappling with COVID outbreaks after two years of trying to keep the virus spread in control. Currently, the nation has kept to its zero-COVID policy and is ramping up testing to stymy the case numbers.
