Katara Cultural Center


On Friday we visited the Katara Cultural Center again to see the art exhibits there and to have dinner at an Armenian and Lebanese restaurant. Katara is by the sea so it is very beautiful. The beach is interesting in its arrangement of out door furniture, but each time we have been there it has been on a Friday and the Sabbath, so the beach is empty of people.

It rains here so infrequently that this furniture can stay dry. There is not much of a tide here either.

Though there is no one on shore, the sailboats are numerous

And just like every space in Doha, there is more construction underway

Katara has a couple mosques on the site. This one is striking in all of its golden splendor
This is the formal entry to the amphitheater

The green panels are glass. The door is bronze.
