Arabian Nights

he growth of Qatar has been spectacular. It has developed in a few decades from a desert country of semi-nomadic Bedouins to a slick modern hub and, most recently, a centre of global events and international tourism easily accessed via Doha International Airport. Among the skyscrapers there’s culture to be found. The Museum of Islamic Art is renowned for its collection, the National Museum of Qatar is a fabulous spot, shaped like a desert rose and containing fascinating exhibits, while SouqWaqif and the museums of the Msheireb quarter provide atmosphere aplenty.
