From the 3-2-1 Qatar Olympic and Sports Museum to the National Museum of Qatar
It can quickly become uncomfortable when friends come to visit when they seem to know more about the city than you do.
Oh, I see, you haven’t visited Qatar’s National Museum. Furthermore, you were unaware that the Khalifa International Stadium is home to a brand-new museum. You don’t reside here.
At these outstanding museums in Doha, brush up on your knowledge of Qatar.
3-2-1 Qatar Olympic and Sports Museum
The 3-2-1 Qatar Olympic and Sports Museum, which just just debuted in late March, is the biggest museum of its kind in the entire globe and unquestionably among Doha’s top attractions. There are seven galleries inside, with topics ranging from the Olympics and history to topics much closer to home, such sporting events hosted by Qatar (so far) and the growth of sports in the nation.
Currently airing: At 3-2-1, the World of Football began. Start of October saw the opening of the Qatar Olympic and Sports Museum. A two-part book, The Road to Doha will take you on a journey from the first FIFA World Cup matches in 1930 through the final at the Lusail Stadium on December 18, 2022.

There are historical artifacts like hand lenses and telescopes that demonstrate the development of scientific tools on exhibit, as well as interactive screens where you can learn about notable Arab astronomers like Al-Battani.
The movie screenings in the dome are without a doubt the primary reason to visit this museum in Doha. You may see the complete schedule by visiting althuraya.katara.net. There are a variety of shows, including ones that are dedicated to the stars, the universe, and the milky way. The shows are first-come, first-served, and registration is required in advance.
Free. Open every day from 8 am to 8 pm. katara.net/althuraya, Katara Cultural Village (4408 2067).
Mathaf: Arab Museum of Modern Art
More than 9,000 pieces of art make up the collection at Mathaf, and the permanent exhibitions rotate frequently to give each work its turn in the spotlight (and every visit is different). The permanent collection is spread out over five different galleries in the upper floors, each one devoted to a different theme. These themes include women in society, portraits of changing societies, witnessing and reading histories, new vocabularies in post-independence contexts, mathematics, mosaics, and universal systems of perception, and the re-invention of materials. You can visit the magnificent Education City Mosque or the Qatar National Library while you’re there, both of which are in Education City.
There has never been a better time to visit this museum in Doha with four brand-new exhibitions currently on view. One Tiger or Another examines history as the result of both fact and fiction with a contemporary video installation from Singaporean artist Ho Tzu Nyen and 18th century paintings and artifacts related to the legend of Tipu Sultan. Majaz: Contemporary Art Qatar features the work of former Fire Station artists-in-residence.

Msheireb Museums
Visit Msheireb Museums, which are really four museums in one, to make the most of your time. You can learn about slavery at Bin Jelmood House, the history of oil in Qatar at Company House, the metamorphosis of Msheireb at Mohammed Bin Jassim House, and traditional Qatari living at Radwani House. These lessons are spread among a number of heritage homes, each with a particular topic.
The intriguing exhibition DNA: Journey to the Heart of Life is also located at Bin Jelmood House. You can discover more about Qatar’s diverse ancestry through the exhibits by looking at its genetic heritage, prehistoric human migration, and the evolution of individualized treatment.
The Museum of Islamic Art last year closed for repairs, but on October 5 it reopened. The stunning museum in Doha stands alone on reclaimed ground and is equally iconic as the National Museum of Qatar (more on that in a bit). With the MIA appearing in the upcoming Jason Statham film Operation Fortune: Ruse de Guerre, the building will certainly wow you, but the newly redesigned galleries will also enhance the tourist experience.
The ground floor of the museum in Doha now features a new exhibit that takes the place of the Majlis, where you can learn more about I.M. Pei and his design for the building.
Free, adult-only QR100 (kids under 16, One Pass holders). Fri. 1.30pm–7pm; Sat. 9am–7pm. Corniche de Doha, mia.org.qa (4422 4444).
National Museum of Qatar
The National Museum of Qatar must be your sole stop this winter if you only have time for one museum in Doha. Seeing the building, which was built by Jean Nouvel and resembles a desert rose, while traveling along the Corniche should be sufficient justification for you to want to stop inside. If not, the National Museum of Qatar provides you with a thorough overview of the history of the nation, including its geology, animals, and life in the desert and at sea. The original palace of Sheikh Abdullah bin Jassim Al Thani, which has been renovated, is also located in the center of the museum.
Here are two amazing current temporary exhibitions for you to see. Motorheads should check out Three historic automobiles are on show in A Sneak Peek at Qatar Auto Museum, which is pretty much what it says on the tin and will get a new home when the aforementioned museum opens. And Your Brain to Me, My Brain to You by Pipilotti Rist is an immersive light installation with 12,000 LED lights that will be housed in the Children’s Museum of Qatar when it opens.
Free, adult-only QR100 (kids under 16, One Pass holders). Fri. 1.30pm–7pm; Sat. 9am–7pm. Nmoq.org.qa, Al Salata (4452 5555).
Sheikh Faisal Bin Qassim Al Thani Museum
The Sheikh Faisal Bin Qassim Al Thani Museum, which houses the Sheikh Faisal own collection, is a true museum of wonders. There are more than 30,000 pieces on show at this Doha museum, so you could spend all day exploring it and yet not have enough time. From the Jurassic period to the present, there are 11 rooms dedicated to various subjects, including weapons, fossils, and carpets. In addition, there is a full Syrian home that was transported from Damascus in 2014 brick by brick.
Keep an eye on @fbqmuseum for the upcoming event. The museum frequently hosts special events like kid-friendly treasure hunts. For QR25 per person, you can also reserve tours to make the most of your trip.
Free, QR30 for students, and QR50 for adults (kids under 12). Mon–Thu, 9 am–5 pm; Fri, 2 pm–7 pm; and Sat, 10 am–6 pm. Alsamriyaestate.com, Al Samriya Estate, Al Shahaniya (4486 1444).

However, before you rush to Ceremonial Court, note that the Torba Farmers Market is shifting to a new location next to Oxygen Park and Multaqa (Student Centre).

Hellas
Authentic slice of Greece in Katara Cultural Village
The Katara Amphitheatre is unquestionably the most breathtaking feature of Katara Cultural Village and a must-see for both visitors and locals. But the next time you’re in the region, we believe you should head straight for Hellas, an almost-as-impressive (albeit somewhat smaller) ode to Greek culture.
At September 2020, Hellas opened its doors for business in Katara’s South Plaza, joining a small number of other Greek eateries already operating there. The decor, which features whitewashed walls, blue accents, and rattan finishings, will serve to some extent to transfer you to one of the Greek islands—without nearly as many tourists—and the outside terrace’s accessibility to the water is undoubtedly beneficial.
A brief glance at the menu makes our tummies growl as we settle into a cozy nook at the restaurant’s far end. Before going on to heavier courses like the eggplant rolls and bougiourdi, a bread basket and dips like tzatziki and melitzana are a must. Cheese enthusiasts will be in their element, and seafood aficionados will enjoy the grilled octopus with Santorinian fava or the calamari very much.
The succulent and flavorful chicken souvlaki offered as a main course is presented on a skewer, while vegetarians will love the filling mushroom giouvetsi. Make sure to visit on a Sunday or a Monday if you’re going here for gyros (which, of course, you are). Otherwise, you won’t be able to place an order order it during the rest of the week.
Choose the galaktoboureko, which is served with a scoop of ice cream and is topped in syrup, for an authentic treat. Even after our last huge feast, we still find ourselves squabbling over the last few bites.
On our most recent visit, we had no trouble finding a seat, but we anticipate that the outdoor seats will be in high demand now that the weather is cooling off. Service is prompt and courteous, and service members are always eager to suggest food (and to forgive us for our terrible pronunciation).
This restaurant’s dedication to authenticity and delicious food will serve it well after a slew of new Greek eateries launch throughout the city.
Greek flavors in Katara? Only Hellas could explain it.
daily from noon to 11 p.m. Qatar’s Katara Cultural Village (4408 0810).
B-lounge
Stunning pan-Asian spot overlooking The Ritz-Carlton’s marina is a must-visit for sushi lovers
B-Lounge unquestionably deserves an A rating for everything from the amazing ambiance to the delectable food, but as our most recent visit shows, service still needs improvement before it reaches that level.
The environment will be the first thing to impress you, so let’s start there. The patio, which views out over the marina, will make a wonderful backdrop for any photograph, especially at dusk. Both spaces, which are divided into a restaurant on the ground floor and a lounge on the second floor that puts the lounge in B-Lounge, are chic and contemporary with copper tones, patterned wall tiles, and cloth that hangs from the ceiling to resemble sails.
We start our meal with the sushi that B-Lounge is famous for after shooting a gazillion pictures. Although the veggie rolls with asparagus and mushrooms and the spicy and crunchy tuna rolls live up to their names, those who want to overindulge can order a plate of either 20 or 36 pieces. Fans of dim sum should choose the tom yum-sauced lobster dumplings, which are also a great choice, and edamame is always a good choice.
With entrees like ceviche, miso black cod, and chicken kung pao, you can explore all of Asia. For those who have already overindulged on sushi, a smaller dish from the robata grill would be a terrific way to end the evening, especially if you choose the avocado flame. The Thai red shrimp curry is also excellent. Of course, you may always end the meal with a sweet treat like the miso cheesecake or mochi.
The B-Lounge is renowned for its cocktails as well. It has a wide selection of mixed drinks, some of which are unusual tea-infused drinks. We would have wanted to sample more mocktails, but the service is consistently exceedingly slow. We might tolerate a staff shortage, but unfortunately our server appears to forget about our table, so we end up waiting far longer than we would have wanted.
We believe B-Lounge will lead the pack if the service is raised to the customary five-star Ritz-Carlton level.
Sat. through Thurs. noon to midnight; Fri. 1pm to midnight. West Bay Lagoon, The Ritz-Carlton Doha, and loungedoha.com (5080 4421).
Parks, cafés and restaurants with incredible views
The West Bay skyline must rank among the most gorgeous in the entire world, even if we are undoubtedly biased (cough).
No matter how often we utilize the same route, the renowned skyscrapers never cease to amaze us and make journeys along the Corniche feel special.
These parks, coffee shops, and restaurants should do the trick if you’re seeking for the greatest spots in Doha to take in the West Bay skylin
Aqua Lounge
Aqua Lounge is located on the seventh floor of the Marriott Marquis, tucked away among West Bay’s tall structures. Standard Arabic fare like kebabs, hot and cold mezze, and pitas are available on the menu. This restaurant is particularly well-known for its shisha.
5 p.m. to midnight every day. West Bay Marriott Marquis City Center Doha (4419 5510).
Hotel Park
The park next door is a great place to see the West Bay skyline because the Sheraton Grand Doha has been there before it rose. There are several cafés and restaurants to choose from, and the park’s modest hills are a well-liked location for picnics (and picture shoots).
An absolute must-visit is the restaurant located on the fourth floor of the National Museum of Qatar. From above, you can see the skyscraper that was designed to resemble a desert rose as well as the West Bay skyline behind it. Visit this location for afternoon tea and the sunset.
Open Mon–Thu, Sat 12–9 p.m.; Fri, 1–9 p.m. Al Salata, National Museum of Qatar, jiwan.qa (4452 5725).
Infinity Rooftop Lounge
The Souq Waqif and the West Bay skyline are both visible from the 20th floor of the Alwadi Hotel in Msheireb Downtown Doha. On Wednesdays, the Latino night offers two hours of unlimited Mexican mixed drinks for QR150. Don’t miss it!
Mon-Sat 6 p.m. to 2 a.m. MGallery, Msheireb Downtown Doha’s Alwadi Hotel
(4009 9999).
MIA Park Coffee Shop
The MIA Park Coffee Shop may be our favorite place in the city to watch the West Bay skyline while we wait for the Museum of Islamic Art to reopen. It is impossible to describe the vision accurately.
4 p.m. to 11 p.m. every day. Doha’s Corniche, MIA Park.
Nobu
The outstanding cuisine at Nobu, a multiple-time winner of our best restaurant award, ought to entice you. The largest Nobu in the world also has a spectacular perspective of the West Bay skyline from its location on a private island, which will have you going back time and time again.
Mon-Sat 6 p.m. to midnight hours. Doha, Qatar’s Four Seasons Hotel, The Corniche (4494 8500).
Sky View
The West Bay skyline may be seen in the distance from Sky View’s terrace, which is located on the 15th level of the La Cigale Hotel. From Friday through Wednesday, there is a happy hour from 5 to 8 p.m. Fans of Cuban rock won’t want to miss the Saturday Havana nights too.
Open 5pm–midnight, Monday–Saturday. Inn in La Cigale, Fereej Bin Mahmoud (4428 8204).
Sora
Sora is located in Msheireb Downtown Doha and offers a fantastic view of the West Bay skyline from the Park Hyatt’s 21st level. Don’t miss the sora san setto menu, which is available from Monday through Saturday from 4 pm to 6 pm and offers house beverages starting at QR25 and discounted dishes.
Open Monday through Thursday, 4 p.m. to 11 p.m. on Saturday, and 12 p.m. to 11 p.m. on Friday. Msheireb Downtown Doha and the Park Hyatt Doha (4009 4330).
Vertigo
All of the restaurants at the Banyan Tree Doha offer up fantastic views of the West Bay skyline, but it’s the rooftop lounge Vertigo that has stolen our hearts. The pan-Asian lounge is super stylish, and will serve as a perfect background for some Instagram snaps.
Open Tue-Thu 5pm-2am; Fri-Sat 4pm-2am. Banyan Tree Doha, Mushaireb (4410 3338).
Doha offers so much to do that we frequently spend our weekends taking in the city’s top attractions.
However, there are many good reasons to leave the city, so we’ve gathered some of our top day trips from Doha for you to try.
As usual, we ask that you behave properly by cleaning up after yourself and taking your trash with you so that these locations can continue to be as stunning for future visitors.
Must try trips in Doha
Al Karaana Lagoon
Al Karaana Lagoon was formerly used for wastewater, but a restoration project finished in 2019 by the Public Works Authority of Qatar (Ashgal) totally altered it. Red foxes, desert hares, snakes, and other species of birds are among the wildlife that now calls the three man-made lagoons home. If you enjoy the outdoors, doing this day excursion from Doha is certainly recommended.
The West Bay skyline is beautifully visible from this manta ray-shaped island close to The Pearl-Qatar, especially around sunset. Although there are no facilities on the island, it makes for a great day excursion from Doha to unwind on the sand. A tour company like National Cruise or 365 Adventures can help you arrange a boat journey, or skilled paddleboarders can join Blue Pearl Experience and paddle across.
One of our favorite pieces of public art in Qatar has to be Richard Serra’s East-West/West-East. The sculpture, which spans a kilometer in the desert, is made up of four 14 m-high steel plates. When juxtaposed to the barren environment in Zekreet, they are precisely aligned and appear magnificent. For the full effect, depart from Doha for this day trip at either sunrise or sunset.
Brouq Nature Reserve, Zekreet.
Galactic Core Bay
Stargazers, this one’s for you: due to the lack of light pollution in the area, this bay on Qatar’s northwest coast is ideal for snapping pictures of the night sky. But be warned—the road to this location isn’t ideal, so you’ll need a 44 to visit it. Anything is fair game for the ‘gram.
You should visit the Inland Sea right away if you haven’t already. It will steal your breath away since it is one of the few locations in the world where the sea meets the desert dunes. You may reserve a spot with a tour operator like 365 Adventures for an overnight camping trip or a day excursion from Doha, or you can drive your own vehicle. If it’s your first time there, be careful to travel with a club, like the Qatar 4Wheelers or the Dune Riders Club, both of which frequently organize trips to the location.
Al Khor Island, commonly referred to as Purple Island, is where you should go if you’re in the mood for some vegetation. Though it was the first area in the world to create purple mussel dye, don’t anticipate to be greeted by a sea of purple. Getting back to the present, 365 Adventures and Blue Pearl Experience both offer tours to Purple Island where you may kayak through the mangroves that surround it. If kayaking isn’t your thing, there’s also a promenade where you can take in the view from dry land.
Our list of must-do day trips from Doha already includes Olafur Eliasson’s installation Shadows traveling on the sea of the day (2022), which was unveiled in October 2022. The piece is intended to be “an invitation to resync with the globe” and is made up of 20 mirrored circular shelters, three single rings, and two double rings. Resynchronize, unwind, and shoot a photo on Instagram.
