Half Day

Doha past, present and future

Explore the architecture of Qatar, with a look around four restored heritage homes; visit the world’s first sustainable downtown regeneration project; and take a tour of Doha’s oldest market.
 
Your journey begins with a visit to the Msheireb Museums, a series of four historic houses in the oldest part of Doha. Each one showcases different aspects of Qatar’s culture and history, covering the story of slavery, the era of oil exploration, traditional Qatari family life, and the future development of Doha.
 
Following this, we’ll walk the streets of Doha’s old commercial district, which are part of the world’s first sustainable downtown regeneration project. Here you’ll see how sustainable design is meeting commercial objectives to shape the city of the future.
 
Our final stop is the Souq Waqif. As Doha’s oldest market place, masterfully redeveloped to maintain its original 19th-century look, it offers a unique shopping experience. You’ll explore the vibrant alleys with an expert local guide to find the best vendors and deals, while learning about Qatari culture and history along the way.
