We were lucky enough to arrive moments before a free guided tour was starting. This made a huge difference in our experience! We had a wonderful guide (I’m sorry I don’t know her name). She took us through a few of the galleries highlighting several items and giving us lots of information. The building itself is beautiful and the exhibits are fascinating. A must-see in Doha!

Marvellous architecture and marvellous collection, well presented. An absolute must- see. The gift shop is full of ice souvenirs, but a bit weak on books. I am sure they are working on that, though.

Really interesting museum with enough pieces to keep you interested but not overwhelming. Good information provided in English and Arabic, lots of artefacts from around 1st-2nd century until 18th-19th century. The children also found it interesting and lots of items of jewellery, clothing and weapons to look at. We bought the silver pass which gives you 5 museums in 5 days for 99QR each the kids we’re free otherwise it’s 50QR per adult. Took us about 2 hours to walk round. The building itself is also beautiful

Such a fantastic place to learn about Islamic art and culture. The building is impressive, the collection is diverse, and they focus on teaching visitors. Whether you love art, history, or just exploring, this museum is a must-see. It helps you understand the rich heritage of Islamic civilization and shows how art and culture can bring people together.

The first impression is a lot of space and few exhibits. But they turn out to be of very high quality. I appreciated the organization of the exposition - chronological and geographical - is very convenient. I recommend a terrace with a wonderful view. Great gift shop

On my last day in Doha, I went to this museum after visiting the Qatar National Museum. For me, I prefer this one between the two. There are more floors of exhibits at this museum. I started on the 5th Floor and ended at the Ground Floor. The beautiful exhibits are on the 2nd and 3rd Floors where items on display include jewelries, tapestries, rugs, Pots, manuscripts, crowns, clothings, etc. Countries represented include Iran, Turkey and Southeast Asian countries where Islam is the major religion. There are places to sit down and eat here. Outside views from this museum are beautiful: boats and the Persian Gulf. Entrance fee for foreigners is 50 Qatar Rial. Staff are helpful, helped me called a taxi.

This was my second visit to the museum, I was very impressed with the history of Islam in the different countries and how religion was based on different cultures around the world. I would highly recommend if anyone is visiting Doha. Excellent, time well spent but you need quite few hours in order to view the entire museum.

Centrally located on an island with a beautiful Park. There is a shop on the ground floor where you can buy souvenirs. When you walk past the shop towards the back of the building and go through the doors, you can view the Doha skyline across the water and take beautiful photos. Didn’t get a chance to view the Islamic collection of wood work, jewellery, ceramics etc as got there just before the closing time so will need to visit it again on my next visit to Doha!

A very good introduction to Islam by the Qatar Government. They have various exhibits aging back from the Ottoman Empire. You can find the oldest copies of the Quran. A heavenly experience for those who are interested in the Islamic history. However, having a guide who can explain the history of each section would make the experience more exciting and informative.

The walk to the very modern museum passes dhows moored and sailing in the bay along a steady rising slope to the entrance. Entry is 50 QAR and the museum is laid out over three floors with beautiful artefacts, including early scripts from the Koran, pottery, tiles and carpets. Visit the courtyards and see the fountains, very relaxing and look across the bay to the Qatar skyline.
