Culture & sights
in Doha and Lusail.

Jean Nouvel’s desert-rose building, Qatar’s history and a small collection of remarkable cars.

Getting there

Take the Gold Line to National Museum station, then follow signed pedestrian access to the museum. From the Red Line, change at Msheireb. A taxi can use the museum’s designated arrival area.

Around 400 classic vehicles within Sheikh Faisal’s much wider collection at Al Samriya.

Getting there

Book a car to Sheikh Faisal Bin Qassim Al Thani Museum, Al Samriya Estate, off Dukhan Road in Al Shahaniya. Agree the museum entrance and waiting arrangement with your driver; there is no Metro stop at the estate.

Schumacher’s Ferrari, an Olympic collection and a family motorsport trail at Khalifa International Stadium.

Getting there

Take the Gold Line to Sport City and follow the stadium and museum pedestrian signs. Change at Msheireb if arriving on the Red Line. A taxi to the museum entrance avoids the station-to-stadium approach.

Islamic art, I. M. Pei’s waterfront architecture and a park with views back across Doha.

Getting there

A taxi can use the museum arrival and parking area. For a Metro-based city day, travel to Souq Waqif on the Gold Line and continue by a separate local taxi or a suitable pedestrian route to the waterfront; the station is not at the museum door.

Four restored houses tell stories of family life, oil, slavery and the changing streets of Doha.

Getting there

Use Msheireb station, served by Red, Gold and Green lines, then walk through the district to Bin Jelmood House reception, Building 10, Street 830, Zone 3. A taxi can drop you near the museum cluster.

A 1938 fort introduces the history of Qatar’s northern trading and pearling town.

Getting there

Book a driver to Al Zubarah Fort in north-west Qatar, agreeing the visitor entrance and a waiting or collection arrangement. There is no city Metro connection to the fort.

Modern and contemporary Arab art in a former school in Education City.

Getting there

Take the Green Line to Education City and follow Mathaf signs for the museum’s stated 15-minute walk. Change at Msheireb or Al Bidda as appropriate for your origin. A taxi can take you to the entrance directly.

Cook chicken majboos and share the meal, or book a shorter Arabic coffee ceremony in an Al Wakrah majlis.

Getting there

Book the session, then use its House 157 arrival instructions. Take a taxi to Souq Al Wakrah parking or the named road entrance and walk through Zone 4 to the cultural house. Allow roughly 35–50 minutes by road from central Doha or 45–70 from West Bay/Pearl/Lusail, plus 10–15 minutes to find the house and arrive before the session. For rail, take the Red Line train marked Al Wakra, not Hamad Intl Airport T1, then a separate local taxi to the souq. Visit Qatar lists bus 127 as a connection; use its current route and timetable only if it serves your session. The Metro does not reach the house.

A hosted two-hour tasting walk through Souq Waqif, meeting at Arumaila Boutique Hotel.

Getting there

Use the operator’s current booking message for the exact Arumaila Boutique Hotel meeting door; the pin identifies the hotel drop-off, not a generic souq centre. Arrive 15 minutes before the agreed start. From Souq or Msheireb hotels use the public lanes and marked crossings or a short taxi. From West Bay/Pearl/Lusail, use the Red Line to Msheireb and change to the Gold Line for Souq Waqif, then follow the pedestrian route to the named hotel; include the internal souq walk. A direct taxi needs an agreed road drop-off because the covered lanes are pedestrian areas.

Spice stalls, falcon traders and restaurant streets in Doha’s restored market.

Getting there

Take the Gold Line to Souq Waqif. From a Red Line base, change at Msheireb. Follow signs into the market; use a perimeter road pickup if arriving by taxi, as the lanes are pedestrian spaces.

Tiled mosques, an open-air amphitheatre, galleries and places to eat beside the beach.

Getting there

Take the Red Line to Katara station and follow district pedestrian signs. Choose a taxi to the specific venue if the outdoor walk is unsuitable; Katara covers more than one building.

Pastel streets, harbour views and a café stop at Old Doha Port.

Getting there

Take a taxi to Mina District at Old Doha Port. If using the Gold Line to National Museum station, continue by a separate local car; the station does not serve the port streets directly.
