      "description": "Early cars, sports models, commercial vehicles and limousines fill the car collection at Sheikh Faisal Bin Qassim Al Thani Museum. With around 400 classic vehicles to explore, there is plenty here for anyone who enjoys the history around racing as much as the racing itself.\n\nThe cars belong to a much broader private collection at Al Samriya. Objects, art and pieces of everyday life share the museum with the vehicles, so an afternoon can move between motoring and Qatar’s wider cultural history. You can spend most of your time with the cars or leave room for the other collections; the regular museum tour includes the car section.\n\nFBQ is outside central Doha, and the drive makes it a good outing for a free day before the Grand Prix. A booked return car lets you spend time in the collection without arranging another journey at the end. A guided tour is available for an additional charge, subject to availability. The museum closes on Sundays.",
