Msheireb Downtown Doha

Msheireb Museums

One house covers the region's history with the slave trade directly and unflinchingly, another the rise of the petroleum industry, a third the city's early urban development, and the fourth traditional Qatari family life. Together they're a more honest, layered introduction to modern Qatar than any single museum manages alone.

Opening hours: Closed Sun; Mon–Thu 9am–5pm, Fri 3pm–9pm, Sat 9am–5pm — last admission 30 min before closing
Admission: Free
