Doha Corniche
National Museum of Qatar
Hundreds of interlocking sand-toned discs form a building modeled on a mineral formation you'll actually see out in the desert. Inside that shell sits the restored 19th-century Amiri Palace, and eleven galleries trace Qatar's story from geology to statehood. Budget more time than you think — the disc corridors alone are a half-day wander.
