If you are in Doha, do not miss visiting the Islamic Museum. It is the most popular attraction in Doha and rightly so. The building sits in the middle of an artificial island with beautiful views of Doha skyline and the Corniche. The architecture too does not dissapoint at all. The museum contains thousands and thousands of artefacts from different time frames in muslim history. There are four or five floors covered with artefacts and all of them are very interesting to see and know about. While we were there, there was an exhibition about Syria that was super interesting. The exhibition gave a taste of Syrian history and it was captivating.
