Qatar | There's more to it than just the World Cup

🌐 The richest country in the world, many people think it's Dubai, but in fact, Qatar is even richer. This tiny nation is the wealthiest in the Middle East💰. As the first World Cup in history to be held in a Middle Eastern country, the host has spent $220 billion, introducing Qatar to the whole world🌐 🏰 The best season to visit Doha, the capital of Qatar, is from November to March of the following year. During this period, it is cooler and more comfortable, which is also the reason why this World Cup is held in winter for the first time. 👑 Although it is smaller than Beijing, the scenery here is no less impressive. ① Qatar National Museum Modeled after the 'Desert Rose'🌹, from afar it looks like a rose blooming in the desert. Walking through the museum, you can learn about the ancestors of Qatar and the early formation of cities. ② Katara Cultural Village 🌇 Doha has a series of stunning cultural venues, including museums, galleries, and public art. In Katara Cultural Village, tradition and modernism are powerfully combined. ③ Souq Waqif Traditional Market🏛️ Coming to Qatar, of course, you want to experience the local oldest traditional market, which is also a portrayal of 'One Thousand and One Nights'🏜️. Its labyrinth-like alleys contain all kinds of wonders, such as Middle Eastern goods, traditional music and arts, cultural performances, and unique coffee shops☕. ④ Museum of Islamic Art🖼 At the art museum, you can witness the miracle of the sea view and unique architecture merging into one, and learn about the museum's internationally renowned collections. The MIA Park next to the museum is a great place for family picnics, walks, and outdoor yoga. ⑤ Doha Corniche🛣️ A 7-kilometer long magnificent promenade, overlooking the tranquil waterfront, walking through it is like stepping into the world of tomorrow, especially intoxicating during sunrise and sunset. ⑥ Banana Island🍌 Also known as 'Qatar's Maldives'. Viewed from the sky, the island's semi-curved shape resembles a banana, hence the name. ⑦ Lusail Stadium🏟️ This can be said to be a city specially built for the World Cup. Lusail Stadium is the largest stadium in Qatar and the core venue for the 2022 FIFA World Cup🏆. Qatar·Asia
