Day Out Doha

This is the Museum of Islamic Arts in Doha,Qatar.First thing I noticed was the beautiful Islamic architecture of the building.The beautiful landscape of modern day Doha skyscrapers and the scenic clear blue ocean around it gives it a complete paradise look.

Me and my 2 good friends, Afiq and Wan posing in front of the entrance.

One of the thousands of interesting artifacts in the Museum, a page of the Quran page from over 700 years ago...how it can survive time,I really wonder.

Coins from the past, with some as old as 900years old...amazing...collected from around Iran/Iraq.

This is an incense burner made in the shape of a lion,its as big as my palm and is also about 900years old...but there is one thing here that doesn't make sense here, does that look like a lion?

Me and my monkey friend from the past...hahaha,this is as an incense burner as well..in a shape of a monkey holding both its knees....hahaha,damn that monkey!

Thats Syura explaining something to Afiq (those 2 fight all the time..hahaha) while I look on. and erm,thats the lembu the bhai used to jaga from 800years ago...LOL

This is an interesting and a comical one.It depicts a picture from an ancient book of the human anatomy.

That "going to shit" pose drawn really cracked us up.

This was one of the coolest, this is the real life preserved helmet of Iranian soldiers in the past..the sharp tip on top of the helmet could kill a man on its own.Incredible stuff.

Us posing in front of a mock up soldier on a horse with all his equipment's and guards,its amazing how much of 

steel wear they used to have on their body when they go to war..that itself would have made moving around hard and they would ride horses into battlefields.Real man, compared to the sissies we have thse days,complaining about the latest i-phone release.

This was the most incredible thing I saw that day.The real life sword of Indian Emperor,Shahjahan.

Enough said.

Me and syura looking at something really interesting.Well,more like me posing while she is really interested. Haha.

War mask worn by soldiers.Looks damn cool right?

Mask level: Like a Boss.

Jewellery from ancient times.Cool.

This is a typical women's robe from the past.The weird thing here is the robe is damn bloody big,

I mean 4of me could fit into one,were the women back then really that huge?

Beautiful view of the modern day Doha taken from across the bay.

Majestic view of the museum.

Hahahaha, this mid-air shot is priceless! :)

All in all, had a great time with this guys at the Museum and later on went over to Souq Waqif, where I finally had my sheesha. Was a really nice trip with wonderful people,many more of them coming I hope :)
