Arrive at the Museum of Islamic Arts as it opens at 10:30. This is the quietest time to see the permanent exhibition on the 2nd and 3rd floors without the midday rush.

Walk 15 minutes to Fabric Souq. Browse the exotic fabrics and have a tailor measure you for a custom garment. The air-conditioned souqs offer a cool respite.
05:21
Head to Shay Al Shoomos for a late breakfast. This is one of the few places serving traditional Qatari cuisine, perfect for fueling up before the afternoon heat.
06:06
Take a short 5-minute walk to Museum of Islamic Art Park. Relax in the shade and enjoy the views of the museum architecture before the sun gets high.
Local tip
