Good morning, friends...Reviewing photos from Qatar...I want to tell you about visiting an amazing museum...It's not just about sunbathing and swimming on the beach...The Sheikh Faisal bin Qasim Al Thani Museum is one of the largest private museums in the world, located 20 kilometers from Doha. The collection of rare exhibits is extensive: the exhibition halls feature classic cars, jewelry, coins and banknotes, art objects, archaeological artifacts, ancient manuscripts and much more. The museum covers an area of 530000 m2. The museum's 15 halls house more than 15,000 exhibits collected by Sheikh Faisal over 50 years. The museum's collection is divided into several exhibitions, each of which is guaranteed to delight visitors...The museum features 700 carpets from all over the world. Everyone can see handmade carpets here, which are unique acquisitions of Sheikh Faisal. All exhibits are in perfect condition. When creating these carpets, the best patterns, threads and dyes in the world were used, they date back more than a century and were brought from different continents.The museum's collection of cars is breathtaking. The sheer delight of seeing 600 cars on display. Incredibly, they are all in working order. Sheikh Faisal regularly allocates cars from his collection to car dealerships and exhibitions. Trucks, convertibles, limousines, and even steam cars..There is no need to talk about the impeccable care of cars that are in excellent condition. Of course, we didn't see everything, we were running..from one room to another... There is also an old well 75 meters deep on the territory of the museum...Next to the museum, a unique architectural landmark attracts attention — a mosque and an inclined minaret. The idea of the construction belongs to Sheikh Faisal. Built in 2022, the 27-meter-high minaret has a 20-degree tilt angle and looks like the Leaning Tower of Pisa...
