Along the alluring Al Corniche Road, there's this bizarre structure shooting across the horizons of tall edifices in the background that will surely catches someone's eyes. The disc-like details are such an scene-stealer, taking desert rose as the structure's inspiration. This five-years-in-the-making engineering and architectural wonder, designed by the one and only Jean Nouvel, the Qatar National Museum will indeed one of the museums to keep an eye on. Tentatively December 2018 opening, in time of Qatar's National Day, this will surely a breathe of fresh air not only in Doha, but in the whole world of museums and artifacts.
Hidden on the bustling Westbay neighborhood, lies the Meliá Hotel Doha, a Spain-based chain of hospitality indulgence.

It was just another boring Friday in Doha that we decided to go someone we haven't been to, and I suggested that we should visit the Magical Festival Village. It was fifteen degrees Celsius, perfect for afternoon strolling and my niece and nephew would definitely enjoy the European-style kiosks and architecture. They also have food joints and entertainment sections that caters not only for the young customers but for all ages.
Magical Festival Village is an all-new concept that had been designed and planned by Qatari spirit in cooperation with top notch Qatari Companies and International companies specialized in the planning & development, construction and operation of Large scale entertainment and tourism projects.*
