    This museum designed by I.M. Pei is like a geometric pearl floating in the desert! The exhibits, from Persian carpets to Koran manuscripts, are breathtakingly beautiful, but the most amazing thing is the atrium - the sunlight shines through the hollow dome, and you can instantly get the true meaning of "sacred geometry". The rooftop cafe overlooks the Doha skyline, where modern and ancient meet perfectly.

    The old Waqif market is built on the site of a century-old trade fair in Doha, the oldest Arab traditional market in Doha. It has a typical Arab-style building community, and hundreds of shops filled with a wide array of Middle Eastern specialties. A giant gold thumb sculpture is now the symbol of the old market. I saw desert roses for the first time here and saw eagles as pets for the first time. Free to visit.

    This is the Islamic Cultural Center as well as a mosque and very distinctive and recognizable from the outside. There are culture and language classes available as well as the chance to ask any questions you have about Islam. Additionally, you can set up tours through them to other mosques of note in the city. Very helpful. Great experience.

    Each house in the Mshereib Museums is built in a traditional Qatari style, with colonnaded courtyards, typical since the early 19th century.  A restored family home, Radwani House best illustrates this, with rooms structured around a central open space.  The house allows visitors to look at traditional family life in Qatar, and the changing norms in domestic life.
