Qatar has a wealth of beauty and culture to offer people visiting from all over the world. Here is our list of beautiful places in Qatar so you can spend your time wisely while you visit.
Al- Zubarah Fortress
In the middle of nowhere, sand stretches ahead of you for miles before this ferocious fortress comes into sight. The fortress’ beauty lies in its lonesomeness, and you can approach it on camel-back at a leisurely pace. As you stand beneath this fortress, you will feel a sense of being connected to an exciting and influential history. To help you understand the history of the fortress better, Al-Zubarah often holds exhibitions of the site. This fortress will have you feeling humbled; you will feel that there is something wonderful about realizing your own insignificance.
The Doha desert
The Doha desert lies mostly untouched, and should be a part of your visit to Qatar. Very little is as stunning as miles and miles of pristine, smooth sand. The beauty of the desert views will leave you feeling small and in awe of the vastness of this unfamiliar landscape. The sand is flawless, the dunes are rolling, and this gorgeous desert landscape can be enjoyed on any desert safari day. Rev your engines and stir up the dust to experience the allure of the desert firsthand.
Doha Fort
This military fortress is located in the heart of Doha and was built in 1927. This fortress was eventually converted into a museum, and now has exhibitions that feature wooden ornaments, old fishing equipment, oil paintings, and old photographs. The fort will make for a pleasant day out if you are looking to understand Qatar’s history and the lifestyles of its occupants a little better. But the most striking element of this fort is its exterior. It is grand and formidable and creates a sense of being surrounded by something eerily powerful. This makes for quite the experience. You will love the sight of this beautifully intimidating building.
The Museum of Islamic Art
The Museum of Islamic Art is located in the heart of a body of still, clear water. As you approach you will cross a bridge across the water and feel yourself being drawn in by the striking appearance of the museum. The white building has sharp, boxed edges, and stands alone on the water. In the sunlight, the museum seems to glow with brightness and its compelling ambiance is enhanced. When you step inside, you will be struck by the intricacies of its interior, which sharply contrasts with the simplicity of its exterior.
Barzan Towers
The Barzan Towers feature brilliant architecture, but to fully experience their beauty, you will have to make your way to the top. Once there, feast your eyes on the views. The building itself is quite formidable and beautiful in its own way. Be sure to take a camera; the spot is renowned for being a good place for photography.
The National Museum of Qatar
The National Museum of Qatar is so complicated in its design that it could almost be mistaken for an origami masterpiece. The white building has sharp and curving edges and, on an architectural level, seems almost impossible. The building is currently under construction and is gradually making the architect’s jaw-dropping design a reality. The museum’s design is inspired by the desert rose, a natural phenomenon formed by crystals in certain climates. The architect believed that the desert rose represented the passage of time, and wanted to embody this idea in the design of the building.
Al Jassasiya Carvings
Al Jassasiya is one of the most intriguing sites in Qatar. Its mystery lies in its petroglyphs – intricate and incomprehensible carvings in the stone that are incredibly rare. It is believed that these carvings are signs of some sort, and they feature shapes that represent animals, boats, and daisies. Many of the patterns and signs are not recognizable, and their meanings remain indecipherable. It is believed that these markings are hundreds of years old, making their preservation truly remarkable.
Enjoy for they are nice people.#QATAR
