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.

"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.

Would have preferred taking this with a Dslr as you don't often get clouds here, but i had my niece and a mobile shot it was
My trip to Doha was also the hottest place I have been to in over twenty years. It was sweltering around 115 degrees F (46 C). Plus it was Ramadan and Doha is predominantly Muslim / Islam. So walking the streets of a big urban city that was virtually devoid of people was an incredibly surreal experience.
Super Sunday to you my friend.
Doha, skyline from Abdul Wahhab mosque, Qatar, May 2023
Fun note: this is the biggest Wahhabi mosque on the entire planet (actually, the mosque is on my back, not visable on the photo). Definitely not my kind of people. I was told that I was not allowed inside the mosque although I told them that I was Turkish and pretended to be a Sunni muslim. Incredible how discriminating this was. Photography was also not allowed but I managed to make a few shots outside without the security guys noticing it.
