Top 5 Things to Do in Doha - According to Local Experts
Perched on Doha's Corniche, the Museum of Islamic Art (MIA) is more than just a museum. Designed by the renowned architect I.M. Pei, the building itself is a work of art. Inside, you'll find a stunning collection of Islamic artefacts spanning 1,400 years, including textiles, ceramics, and jewellery. The views from the museum's terrace are equally breathtaking, offering a panoramic view of Doha's skyline. Local guides often suggest visiting during sunset to make the most of this picturesque spot. After a day of cultural enrichment, consider relaxing at a comfortable stay like Al Najada Doha Hotel Apartments By Oaks, which combines convenience and luxury near the city's attractions.

Letters from readers: A day at the museum, joy of volunteering and video games
Do you have something to share? Send us your letters using this form During my winter holiday, I visited the M+ museum, which had a variety of exhibitions. I was very excited to see the one featuring I.M. Pei, who was a Chinese-American architect, as I want to be an architect one day. Another exhibition I went to showcased a fashion designer's works. The outfits were neither particularly good nor bad. However, as I examined one of the dresses, I thought, 'Wow, this looks amazing!' Then my mum pointed out the back of the dress, and I was surprised to see a large bump there! Yau Ning-chan dreams of being an architect one day.

The Volunteers Club first joined 'Meal Box Hope' with the YMCA in September 2024. Since then, volunteers organised their own events to complement the hard work of YMCA Hong Kong and support the homeless individuals they have come to know. Christmas is a season of giving, and we created a gift box and distributed meals to the homeless. The Spanish School of Hong Kong organised events for students to enjoy the joy of giving during the Christmas season. Photo: Handout Ng Yan-lam (aged 13), St Teresa Secondary School I enjoy playing the video game Minecraft. One reason is that it's a sandbox game allowing players to create unique creations. My favourite build is Deep Frost Citadel from HermitCraft, a Minecraft community. I also like Creators. It is surprising how creators still dedicate hundreds or maybe thousands of hours to builds in this game. The constant updates keep the game relevant to Generation Z and Generation Alpha. We are bound to have something in common, such as bantering with our friends over who gets to keep the diamonds or peacefully enjoying the game with them.
