There’s more at Qatar’s Museum of Islamic Arts

The 1st big leap

Yes, that was 2006; I left my country and set off to an unknown journey in Qatar. This was my first international flight away…from home. Month after month, then year after year…till I reach a decade in this country.

This is where I started to see the world more, learn cultures and meet interesting people.

So I am backtracking my journey. I am feeling a little bit nostalgic now, of so many memories built throughout those years…

This was previously posted in Doras In Doha,  a Facebook Page that I manage together with 2 great friends.

So today, I’m taking you to MIA! Certainly not missing in action. This is the Museum of Islamic Arts.

You will find various art collections from different periods – ceramics, metal works, Islamic designs and very old manuscripts from all over the world.

The museum is located at the heart of Doha – sitting on the waterfront. A very impressive Islamic architecture with geometric patterns.

Outside the museum are a massive park and a waterfront harbor view.

On a lovely weather, it is one of the best places to go for a stroll and there are bazaars with food kiosks. Shop and have a picnic with your friends!

Here is a video from Vic Stefanu, touring you of the MIA. See, how grand it is? And indeed there’s more at Qatar’s Museum of Islamic Arts; aside from art collections, there is the massive park that hosts bazaars, a waterfront view of Doha Corniche, and a lot more!

For events and activities, you can check the schedule on MIA’s website.
