The spiral mosque of the Fanar Qatar Islamic Cultural Center is a recent construction. In a few years it has become one of Doha's most famous landmarks. This is not a traditional Qatari mosque but a replica of the Great Mosque of Al-Mutawwakil in Samarra in Iraq. It is located in the Souqs area (Close to Souq Waqif) a stone throw from the Corniche Street. The spiral minaret dominating the old city is illuminated at night. It is also known as The Sheikh Abdulla Bin Zaid Al Mahmoud Islamic Cultural Center.

الوحده
تقتل الوحدة بعد فرقى الأحباب
ينزف لها دمعـي والجـرح ماطـاب
يشتكي قلبي الوجع بعـد ماغـاب

Bin Zaid
(known previously as Fanar or Qatar Islamic Culture Center and Spiral Mosque) is a cultural organization in Doha, the capital of Qatar. It is a prominent landmark in the city.
The center's most distinguished feature is its mosque, which has a unique minaret design inspired by the 9th-century Great Mosque of Samarra. It remains the tallest mosque in Qatar.
In the foreground is Souq Waqif, a market in the center of Doha. It sells traditional clothing, spices, handicrafts, and souvenirs. The market also houses restaurants and hookah bars. The market building, built in the mid-20th century, is designed in the traditional Qatari architectural style and was renovated in 2008.
Souq Waqif originally served as a place for trade between Bedouins and locals, primarily goods for livestock. However, the market fell into disrepair in the 1990s, and in 2003, much of it was destroyed by fire. This prompted a government restoration program to preserve the market’s architectural and historical identity. Buildings dating from the 1950s were demolished, and older structures were renovated.
Nationalbibliothek von Qatar
"Im Bücher-Palast" - eine Hommage an das Wort, sei es das geschriebene, gedruckte oder das digitale.
Wer den schmalen Eingang unter dem weit auskragenden Dreieck des schwebenden Dachs passiert, dem verschlägt es den Atem. Der Besucher betritt einen lichten, hellen Palast für Bücher, getragen von Glaswänden und wenigen schlanken, hohen Säulen. Die Regale gruppieren sich auf ansteigenden Rängen, wie Zuschauer in einem römischen Theater.
