Doha, day by day
Doha is a rebuilt souq with a falcon market, I. M. Pei's museum of Islamic art on its own island, Jean Nouvel's desert-rose national museum, a skyline across the bay and a sea inside the desert an hour to the south. Start with three days that take the old centre, the museums and the coast, then the desert, with the hours the museums publish for 2026.
