Museum of Islamic Art: Architectural Gem

The Museum of Islamic Art, located in the MIA Park on the Doha waterfront, is an architectural marvel and one of the most well-known places to visit in Doha. The Museum of Islamic Art, designed by world-renowned architect I.M. Pei, houses the world's largest collection of Islamic art. While the paintings were collected over a 1400 year period from three continents, the interiors are breathtaking with spectacular geometric patterns of the Islamic world, making it one of the many places to visit in Doha at night. It is, indeed, one of Doha's most well-known tourist attractions

Throughout the year, the museum hosts a variety of cultural events, such as performances by the Qatar Philharmonic Orchestra, film screenings, and community art and calligraphy classes. The lush MIA park adjacent to the museum overlooks the Arabian Sea and is popular for family picnics, walking, running, and outdoor yoga classes. During the cooler months, a weekend bazaar with over a hundred stalls selling everything from food and drinks to handicrafts, clothing, and jewelry is held.
