FreeFreeGood for GroupsWeekend FavoriteAl Thuraya Planetarium
Tucked into Katara Cultural Village, this 200-seat dome runs digital planetarium shows on the Digistar system, covering everything from the solar system to deep space, presented in both English and Arabic. Entry is free and it's first-come first-served, though show tickets are released online the day before. It's a reliable rainy-day (or brutally hot-day) stop that works equally well for a family afternoon or killing an hour before dinner at Katara.
