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.
A second photo from the Corniche looking towards the futuristic city skyline. In the foreground is what looks like protective netting that runs along the edge of the prom. All I can think is that it has been installed to prevent falls on to the beach. That seems a little overkill given the drop of no more than ten feet onto the sand.
