Several months ago we visited Museum of Islamic Arts in Doha. It possesses a beautiful collection of Islamic artifacts from different parts of the Muslim world, particularly from Turkey( Ottoman Empire), Iran, Central Asia and India. The collection ranges from different copies of Koran that were written during rulings of various halifs, beautiful mosaic and tiles, armor to household items and fine jewelry.

| In my opinion the construction of the museum itself is a piece of art. |
