The newest part was designed by Jean Nouvel and opened in 2019, and is adjacent to the original 20th-century palace of&nbsp;Sheikh Abdullah bin Jassim Al Thani, the former emir of Qatar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The museum is a tribute to Qatari heritage and its striking allure is certainly testament to that thanks to its features reminiscent of <meta charset=\"utf-8\"><a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Desert_rose_(crystal)\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">desert roses<\/a>. It consists of three interrelated spaces, with themes ranging from the history of the Persian gulf to the Bedouin traditions, from the tribal wars to the new oil-age Qatari state; all spaces are heavy on audiovisual, lights-and-sounds immersive experiences with state-of-the-art technology and museology.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Get lost in Souq Waqif<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image is-style-default\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"875\" height=\"656\" src=\"https:\/\/www.toeuropeandbeyond.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/things-to-do-in-Doha-souk-875x656.jpg\" alt=\"things-to-do-in-Doha-souk\" class=\"wp-image-25812\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.toeuropeandbeyond.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/things-to-do-in-Doha-souk-875x656.jpg 875w, https:\/\/www.toeuropeandbeyond.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/things-to-do-in-Doha-souk-400x300.jpg 400w, https:\/\/www.toeuropeandbeyond.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/things-to-do-in-Doha-souk-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.toeuropeandbeyond.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/things-to-do-in-Doha-souk-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.toeuropeandbeyond.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/things-to-do-in-Doha-souk.jpg 2000w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 875px) 100vw, 875px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<style>.wp-block-kadence-advancedgallery .kb-gallery-type-masonry.kb-gallery-id-_09a752-3b{margin:-5px;}.kb-gallery-type-masonry.kb-gallery-id-_09a752-3b .kadence-blocks-gallery-item{padding:5px;}.kb-gallery-id-_09a752-3b .kadence-blocks-gallery-item .kb-gal-image-radius, .kb-gallery-id-_09a752-3b .kb-slide-item .kb-gal-image-radius img{border-radius:0px 0px 0px 0px;;}<\/style>\n<div class=\"wp-block-kadence-advancedgallery kb-gallery-wrap-id-_09a752-3b\"><ul class=\"kb-gallery-ul kb-gallery-type-masonry kb-masonry-init kb-gallery-id-_09a752-3b kb-gallery-caption-style-bottom-hover kb-gallery-filter-none\" data-item-selector=\".kadence-blocks-gallery-item\" data-image-filter=\"none\" data-lightbox-caption=\"true\" data-columns-xxl=\"3\" data-columns-xl=\"3\" data-columns-lg=\"3\" data-columns-md=\"2\" data-columns-sm=\"1\" data-columns-xs=\"1\"><li class=\"kadence-blocks-gallery-item\"><div class=\"kadence-blocks-gallery-item-inner\"><figure class=\"kb-gallery-figure kadence-blocks-gallery-item-hide-caption\"><div class=\"kb-gal-image-radius\"><div class=\"kb-gallery-image-contain\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/www.toeuropeandbeyond.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/things-to-do-in-Doha-souk-4-768x1024.jpg\" alt=\"2022 DOHA TRAVEL GUIDE -
