          Fabulous city tour.
          We used this service in august for a city tour guide. Landmarks were magnificent, beautiful nature, polite citizens. We really enjoyed this experience. Our tour guide,Mohammed was really helpful and he explained the history of Qatar. He took professional pictures of us so now we have perfect pictures to display in our home. Overall this package was totally worth it we really connected to the heart of Qatar.

          Tax free refunds process tips
          I have had a terrible expirience to get the tax refunds in the Madrid airport. So I would like to share how does it work in order to help all those people that need to do this while leaving the country. First step: before check-in your luggage scan all your receipts on the self-service machine. Second step: after check-in and after security control, before you go to the gate, look for the "tax free refunds" or "global exchange" office. They have to approve your apply. During the shoping while in the store you can choose to get your tax refund in cash or credit card. If you choosed cash - you get your money right away, otherwise you'll get it sometime in the future on your credit card. This office is open just from 7 am till 11 pm!

          Could Easily Spend a Few Days Here
          The collections here are fascinating and displayed beautifully. The building itself is a work of art and the views from the terraces, Instagram favorites. A world class museum!

          Cultural Village Katara
          Interesting photo opportunities although the village was closed. Maybe it would be better if you could enter some of the buildings

          Qatar is Ready for FIFA 2022
          Amazed by the Brilliant changes I have witnessed within such a short span of time. I am confident that Qatar will host the best FIFA WORLD CUP ever. I visited the new Cities; Lusail, Katara etc. Just simply astonishing! Even the Stadiums are Mind Blowing! So creative! I am sure all the Football Fan's are going to be surprised with the Stadium, Malls, Infrastructure, Food & Beverage Options etc.

          Like in a movie set!
          I love visiting historical places, travelling to this Souq, it is also travelling in time. It has many different stores with fantastic bargains. Many different clothes and artifacts from other times, amazing souvenirs. There are different places where you can find local food, as well as international food, all this is walking distance. Visiting the Souq was part of the highlights of my day.

          Beautiful Islamic Art for the World to See.
          I am making a double review (copy and paste) since TA has allowed a double publication of this place and it is fair to allow readers to understand that these two places are intrinsically the same. Meaning: Museum of Islamic Art in Qatar and Museum of Islamic Art. Two names; same place. Now let's go ahead with the review. This is by far one of the most beautiful museums in the world that I have visited. Don't get me wrong, I love Louvre, The Vatican, El Prado, etc. All filled with outstanding pieces and the places themselves pieces of history as well. The Museum of Islamic Art in Qatar or Museum of Islamic Art, is a modern place, recently made, but designed in a way that allows the peaceful Islamic ways to flow with architecture that regardless of being modern, feels from centuries ago. Located in la Corniche, the main Gulf road that flows along the promenade of Qatar, it was designed by Leoh Ming Pei, FAIA, RIBA a Chinese-American architect. Born in Guangzhou but raised in Hong Kong and Shanghai and who died just last year on the 16 May 2019 at the impressive age of 102 years. Not too bad!!! The museum hosts the restaurant IDAM led by the head chef and French culinary genius Alain Ducasse. He is not there of course, but his team is definitely keeping up the good training. The museum is by far huge internally and externally, occupying an area of some 45,000 m2 (480,000 sq ft), and its architecture as I mentioned before, is influenced by ancient Islamic architecture yet has a uniquely modern design involving geometric patterns. It is worth mentioning that it is the first of its kind to feature over 14 centuries of Islamic art in the Arab States of the Persian Gulf. Absolutely breathtaking. You need to come here with time. Time to walk, to appreciate, to inform yourself, to make beautiful inner and outer pictures of this place that is art itself. You need time to understand here the true peaceful ways of Islam and the beauty that deserves a special place in our world. Please enjoy the pictures we have divided strategically among the two copied and pasted reviews and be mesmerized of this wonder of history, art and architecture.

          Impressive journey trough history
          An impressive journey through the history of Islamic art. From calligraphy to science such as astronomy and mathematics, from carpets made of silk to ceramics, jewelry and utensils, carved wood and marble, gold to glass, and specific geometric shapes and patterns for Islamic footprints in manny countries, Dont miss this unique place.

        More than any expectations cultural city tour in Doha Qatar with Sharif Massouh was extraordinary expirience. High level professionalism and knowledge about Doha most important landmark, in the same time friendly and hostility Sharif show me most interresting places and people in some of cultural places. Beautiful mosque and Islamic center and especially traditional tea with people in those places was unique expirience. I will for sure back with my friends because they all enjoy in my stories. It was the best guiding tour in my manny visit to Doha.
