One of the best ways to really experience a place, is to dive in deep to culture rich experiences. On my recent visit to Qatar, Falcon Tours took us to the three best ways get your culture on in Doha.MUSEUM OF ISLAMIC ART : This place is actually an architectural masterpiece with some of the most amazing views of the city! But peel your eyes away from the gorgeous scenery and dig into the exhibits. The featured showcase right now is Imperial Threads, highlighting the artistic carpets of Turkey, Iran and India. After a thorough wander through the museum, save time for a lunch at the stunning IDAM restaurant on the top floor. With sprawling views of the city, IDAM serves delicious Mediterranean dishes with an Arabic flair. KATARA CULTURAL VILLAGE : The cultural village was one of my favorite stops in Doha! It is a such a great place to experience the heritage of the country. The open air amphitheater is incredible and this beautiful, colorful traditional mosque is breathtaking!  FIRESTATION MUSEUM : The form Fire Station now serves as a museum with rotating exhibits as well as an artist residence for up and coming creators! While we visited, the Picasso Giacometti exhibit was on, bringing together 120 pieces from both artists comparing their unique artistic relationship. This feature is at the museum until mid-May. The residence program offers not only a creative space but living quarters for new talent to really hone their skill and passion! Such a great concept! After the tour, we dined at the Cafe 999 — go for the camel kofta wrap! 

It is important to practice conservative dressing while visiting some of these places in Qatar. My guide for packing for travel in the Middle East is here!
