A Quick Guide to Museums in Qatar, Doha, Qatar
After my latest (and only till now) post about Qatar I have received quite a few messages from you saying that you have never considered or you had many doubts whether Qatar is worth visiting. I am glad I could dispel some of your hesitations regarding that matter. I know there is an opinion going around that Qatar (or maybe only Doha even) is just a smaller and more modest version of UAE and its famous Dubai with all the skyscrapers and cool things to do.

This is an unbeatable number one museum that just needs to be seen. I’m quite sure that you’ve seen photos of this museum from the moment you started place a trip to Qatar.

Reserve at least a couple of hours for the museum (or more) as the surrounding park is a lovely place for a stroll. From there you will have a view of the business area of Doha (Westbay) with all the skyscrapers. If you can try to see it during the day and after sunset when all the buildings are lit up. It will give you an excellent opportunity to take tons of beautiful photos and see how the city transforms. ...... (follow the instructions below for accessing the rest of this article).
