(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.

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.
