The museum structure itself is the real draw. The collection is nice, but the grounds and spectacular architecture is absolutely world-class. Park along the corniche to avoid the very busy parking lot.

Huge, impressive and a great collection. The Museum of Islamic Art is on the corniche and within walking distance to the Souq. It offers great exhibitions, such as women in 16th Islam. You can also get food and drink there (which is average) and see a great view of West Bay.

Spent a few hours here. It is a free attraction and has some amazing exhibits. Particularly enjoyed seeing some of the 'Terracotta Army' and the Emporia Ming collection.

4 reviews I'm 23 yrs old and I found this place to be boring. All the art rooms look the same. The Mohammed Ali room is a little interesting. The staff is very welcoming. Food is good. Entry is free. Very clean and tidy place.

It's a real good place to spend time if you have a day or a long layover in Doha...very. Nicely done museum....very interesting..free admission and saves you from all the heat outside.
The cafe at ground floor has good food / coffee...and the view of skyscrapers bounded by sea from the lounge is pretty amazing... All in all..a cool hangout...
