Sheikh Faisal Museum - The best museum in Qatar

13 March 2011 - Sheikh Faisal Al Thani Museum

We went there with Mr Hasmin family. I wanted to go long time before but had no chance and I'm happy I managed to bring my family there. Its worth the time spent there.

Absolutely Sheikh Faisal museum is the best museum in Qatar after Islamic Museum.

Everybody should go there if had chance.

Caves of Qatar - Musfer Sinkhole and Fuwairit Beach

Even though Qatar is a desert country with almost plain elevation but there were caves in Qatar. At first it was surprised me but after a few reading than we can understood how this caves formed.

Musfer Sinkhole located 35km from Doha and the way to it was easy and smooth by taking Salwa Road and newly built highway to Bu Samra and Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.

The cave or Sink Hole as it was formed, have the depth of approx. 100mtrs. Yes, it was very deep. From out side nobody will expected the hole was big and deep and it also very hard to find from far without a GPS.

Way back, Ayang drives the car. She obtain the driving license after passed driving test in the early morning (they gave the license on the spot, after that). I know she can drives, she had 13 years experience and 3 times accident.... at least better than me 15 yrs experience with more than 15 or more accident, i dont remember ... hahaha ... but most of it by motosikal.

Fuwairit Beach

Crocodile Rock








A day before that I take a chance after night shift to went to Al Fuwairit to survey the place for camping or picnic. At Fuwairit there were a rocky hill lays along the beach and people have to drive up across the hill to reach the beach. I was impressed with my Santa Fe, that did the job very well.

The Fuwairit is good for people looking for privacy, but for family with little child, those rocks cliff is dangerous. For me its not in my list ...
