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.
As the masterpiece of Master I.M. Pei, the Art Museum is a must-visit place in Doha.
The interior makes full use of light and shadow design to give a visual impact, while the tough lines on the outside blend in with the surroundings.

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.
Souq Waqif is the Arabic version of "Along the River During the Qingming Festival"! The maze-like alleys are filled with spice stalls, falconry shops and gold shops, and the air is filled with the aroma of barbecue and saffron. It is the busiest in the evening, with locals smoking hookahs, tourists taking photos and camels strolling all crowded together, like a never-ending desert carnival. Remember to bargain in half!

The night view of Doha Corniche is absolutely beautiful! The lights of the high-rise buildings are bright, and the breeze from the Persian Gulf is blowing on your face. It's super comfortable~ You can see the iconic Museum of Islamic Art and Pearl Island along the way, which is perfect for taking photos and checking in! There is also a musical fountain show at night, which is super shocking! Walking and cycling are great, and it is a must-go place to experience the modernity and romance of Doha! 🌟 #夜游首选 #多哈必玩

MIA Park in Doha is perfect for relaxation! 🌿 Right next to the Museum of Islamic Art, the seaside promenade is super beautiful, especially romantic at sunset~ The lawn is wide, great for picnics and strolling with your kids, and you can also overlook the West Bay skyline! The park is clean and tidy, with a leisurely atmosphere, and both locals and tourists love to come here. It's perfect to take a walk here after visiting the museum! 💯 #多哈绿洲 #休閒去地方

beautiful atmosphere must visit if u are in qatar with family u can chill , for exercise and all its good
This is my most favourite place in Qatar ❤️My favourite time is either early morning or evening sunset time. Evening sunset time is best for capturing photos during the golden hour.It’s filled with luscious greenery & landscaping, variety of trees, birds, ponds with Swans, ducks & other birds who love swimming. Synthetic track for cyclists & walking/running. It’s full of people especially families… it’s a picnic spot… ppl come with food… toys… balls etc & while the kids enjoy their freedom… adults engage in conversation with friends/family over coffee. Fitness enthusiasts can enjoy the open gym equipments like cycling machines, pull up bars, abs workout etc. Kids can enjoy their time with roller skates, skate boards, scooters, cycles, football, they love this place. Kids can play with RC (Radio/Remote Controlled boats in the pond.The pond is 3 metres deep… Obviously Swimming is not allowed.A big coffee shop is situated in the middle, with other small take away stalls near by.Overall the best place to connect with nature for people of all ages.I love this place.

At the Lusail Stadium, a golden bowl in the desert, more than 90,000 spectators witnessed the birth of the 2022 Qatar World Cup champion.
After 180 minutes of fierce battle, twists and turns, and exciting moments, the Panbos Eagles-Argentina won the World Cup for the third time, and it was well deserved.
Messi smiled, Di Maria cried, and the fans were excited~
