I thought I’d better go and check out the national museum because for one, the architecture of the museum itself is impressive. I enjoy going to museums and have been to many over the last few weeks and you can learn more about the country you are in.

However the price tag to get into this museum nearly knocked me over, 99 Qatari Rials… I think this is criminal for such a wealthy country, mind you they said that this will allow you access to another two museums….. what if I don’t want to visit the other two… The museum is modern and vast although I feel that it was bit sparse when it came to exhibits of a tangible nature. So many of the walls were being used to project images of Qatari life over the years and you can sit down and soak up these images and listen to locals recanting life as they knew it…if I want to watch a movie I’ll do it at home, I’m not interested in going to a museum where around 60% is digital content, very disappointed and not worth the money.

Before I went here I went to the Marine Promenade to see some crazy buildings. The new Fairmont Hotel is stunning, I might have to stay here next time.
