Once inside it is full of local information and Qatar history. Beautifully displayed and layout. On arrival you are greeted with Arabic tea and friendly staff. The price is very reasonable and only 30QAR if you are a teacher! Children under 12 are free. We didnt use the guide but was a tour for children and they were guided around the museum with a fun map/treasure hunt. There is so much to explore and take in that I feel the need to visit again-its too much for one trip. I particularly enjoyed the display of classic cars.

Nice place depicting Qatars history and cultural heritage.

The collection amassed by the sheikh (and his fatheris multifarious and personal in nature. Its an interesting journey through Arabian historical artefacts and a valuable insight into the history of Qatari people through the Sheikhs collection of photographs and family trees.

An awsome place to visit

This is a huge private collection of a Qatari billionaite. It is mostly islamic art, but also odd items from all over the world. The quality of items varies (some furniture pieces are gorgeous, though), the labelling is not great, but what really counts is general experience.

Brought my brother here who was visiting us in Qatar. Lovely exhibition. Our kids also really enjoyed it. Thank you.

Place has an ample parking . Nothing much to do. So many trinkets/ collections. Would love to have a guide to tell us more about it. Theres only 1 café, so better bring food and drinks in your car.

This place is must visit while in Doha. It has so many things: collection of cars, ships, dresses from different countries, antient weapons and many many more.

What an amazing personal collection! Need a lot of time to explore the huge collection. On Fridays they have a treasure hunt to keep the kids busy.

If you havent visited this place yet, you are missing a lot. This museum is like a travel in time , you will be able to see more than 30 000 items from weaponry to carpets, clothes, vases, households, cars, planes, boats and many other. And all of these items are the personal collection of cheikh Faisal himself. The place is also good for kids they can get a map and do some sort of treasure hunt. There is a coffee shop, but when I went it wasnt serving any food, only beverages. Pictures are allowed inside.

Make sure you have enough time to go through all halls. The exposition is enormous! Sheikh Faisal has done an amazing job collecting all of these artifacts.

Entrance fees Qr 50 is there for adult.Nicely arranged everything.There are lots of historic stuffs came from different parts of world and Qatar as well. Located outside the city in a traditional style fort at Al Samriya Farm, the Sheikh Faisal Bin Qassim Al Thani Museum houses the Sheikh’s personal collection, with a body of works including Islamic art, Qatari heritage, vehicles, handmade carpets, and coins & currency, from over four continents. These diverse and eclectic objects tell the story of the museum’s founder, Sheikh Faisal bin Qassim, as well as of humanity in general.

We heard this museum as Car museum. But this museum has all types of antique collections cars, jewellerys, Dresses Boats and many more. Staffs are friendly and well maintained place.. The entry fee is QR 50 per adult and child is free.

The museum has a lot to offer and there is LOADS to see. Although not everything is labeled (which is a shame when you really want to know about it), there is something for everyone from clothes, to weapons, to cars, boats, a working well, and fossils.This is a BIG collection. The staff is really helpful and the car museum is due to open soon!Definitely worth a visit

Very interesting museum, diversity is the word which comes to my mind when I think about this place. Very well sorted by interrest, when in doubt ask the personnel which is very friendly and always ready to help.

This private museum displays more than 30,000 collectables of the private collection of Sheikh Faisal bin Qassim Al Thani. The museum includes also a gift shop and a cozy cafe

Thanks to the Ambassador, suddenly visited such a great and rich on historical materials private museum. Unbelievable and so impressive exhibitions of such extremely wider range of antics

With over 30,000 objects spanning over a hundred years and ranging in size, FBQ Museum represents a modern version of a Cabinet of Curiosities. Worth to visit.You will be asked for a QID or passport at the main gate.Tickets can be purchased at the entrance for 50 riyals for adults.After your tour you can relax at the coffee shop.

Great experience to see Islamic culture i recommet this place.but i just suggesting to manger to put in order and categories the items to be easy and fast understanding for the customer

See what one man can do. Excellent collection, visit with plenty of time, entrence on payment, senior citizens obligations.

Very nice ..huge and very informative I was very amazed by the huge historical collection only thing I did not like it the organization I felt like a lot thing were going over each other felt overwhelmed very huge yet not organized I did enjoy it tho keep in mind that the place is far .. worth it would recommend going

What a diverse collection. Across 50 years, Sheikh Faisal amassed an enormous collection of artifacts and memorabilia.While it does take some driving to get to, this museum is a must see as it is also housed within a preserved fortress. From Samurai armour to classic cars, every room has something to explore.

A great collection of all of the bits and bobs that a man of such standing accumulated over the years. From ancient arrowheads to an aeroplane and everything in between. A good couple of hours spent outside the centre of Doha city. Easy to use Metro to the end of the line at Al Riffa (by Mall of Qatarthen Uber final part. (Though remote you can get a taxi for the return back to the Metro!)Only negative is that museum is currently being reorganised so many of the cars that form part of the collection are not currently on display.

The Sheikh Faisal Bin Qassim Al Thani Museum is a privately owned museum located in the municipality of Al-Shahaniya in Qatar, 20km westward of the capital. Sheikh Faisals enthusiasm for collecting initially elements of cultural heritage and ultimately share them with the public as his rapidly growing collection soon became too large to be housed in a private setting. All of the artifacts in the museum were collected by Sheikh Faisal over a span of 50 years. There are 15 halls in the museum with a total of over 15,000 artifacts grouped into four main categories: Islamic art, vehicles, coins and currency, and traditional Qatari artifacts. Impressive collection, I truly recommend ...

This is one of the biggest private museum in Qatar. This is located almost 25 Km outside the city.Pros- Can see various antique pieces which collected from across the world (mostly Asian and African countries)- For car lovers they have very good vintage car collection.- Arrangement of items is good- You can take photographsCons- They have lots of items which are just displayed, but there is no any information and descriptions about that.- Mostly all the items from 18-19th century. Very few are ancient times items available for see.- And as its private museum it has entry fee.

An amazing museum where you can clearly see the passion of reflecting upon the past and showcasing significant times of our history. The collections are amazing and cover swords, clay work, furnitures, clothings, Islamic arts, Holy Quran room, Qatari house, antique cars, Pearl diving ships, medicine room and much more. The museum is serene and rich in history. It truly reflects what they say as a journey through time and place. The place is undergoing expansion and definitely worth a visit for history lovers.

30 min drive from Doha center. A beautiful location in greens. A huge Museum with lot of personal and rich collections by Sheikh Faisal. A must visit if you are a resident of Doha.

This is one of the great museum that I ever visited in Qatar. Located outside of Doha or around 20 minutes from Education City, we can explore many kind of collection from Islamic Arts such as textile, jewelry. Moreover, we can see the weapon from Century to Century from Middle East and Asia. The most interesting as well is the car collection from year to year. In one of room section, we can see the Dinosauruss head and bones. The entrance fee for this museum is 50 QR. Happy explore.

Nice and huge museum with lots of different collections. Really interesting place, where you can spend 2-3 hours roaming around

It is a privately owned museum located in the municipality of Al-Shahaniya in Qatar.There are eight designated halls displaying Islamic artworks. Included in this category is a hall for Islamic textiles, a hall for Islamic manuscripts, a hall for Islamic paintings and a hall showcasing verses of the Quran.Several types of vehicles from varying periods are displayed in a number of halls.The coins and currency halls put on display ancient currencies, silver and gold coins used during and before the emergence of Islam in the Middle East, and contemporary currencies of several countries.

Love this place. Its s huge collection of different stuff. Theres cars, weapons, clothes, cultural items, Islamic items and so much more. Theres as nice little cafe at the end. Worth a visit anytime.

If you eagerly want to learn about the qatar tradition and some other few arab countries traditions this is the place for you.I love it for all the amazing things there

Very nice museum, lots of interesting items, although all very random. The car collection is especially interesting.

Super interesting collection of antiquities and fascinating collection. Highly recommend a visit and it’s not far - 20 minutes from central Doha. Had not problem with getting an Uber there and back. Staff were super helpful. Coffee shop and small gift shop on site also.

Kind of a drive to get out here from doha, but worth the trip because it has a huge collection of interesting things. The location looks like its under construction but its the only building that looks somewhat completed construction wise. Inside youll see lots of pottery, bowls, dishes, boats, cars, planes... so much to see. Also, the coolest part is they have a replica Syrian home that they disassembled and brought over. Definitely worth checking out!

This is a bit far from Doha. But its a brilliant place to visit. Photography without flash is allowed.Entry fees for adults is QAR 50 now and its worth every penny. Museum is so huge and filled with historical artefacts, it took 2 hrs to roam around. It was an enchanting experience to go through history many centuries back. Weapons, clothing, jewelry, furniture, cars. etc. Must visit if youre in Qatar. Highly recommended.

It was hard to locate, still some construction going on as of Nov 2019. It was a nice drive out of Doha to see the countryside. If you have time to kill it is worth going but not a must.

One of the important places to visit in Qatar. Large collection. You need to plan for a one day trip. Route is little bit tricky. Follow google maps. Entrance fee applicable. If u r die hard of automobiles u will love it.

Wear good walking shoes, this place is enormous! This museum has ample parking which is good because it’s a bit of a drive from Doha.You are greeted with a sip of Arabic coffee at the door and then allowed into room after room of.....everything you could imagine! Pottery, weapons, textiles, cars, old wells....This place can keep a person wonderfully entertained for hours. If I could improve anything I’d want to know there story behind a lot of the items....but if you’re lucky, I’m told sometimes the sheikh himself will give tours of the museum.Didn’t try the coffee shop near the exit but it’s beautifully decorated. The gift shop is small but has some interesting items.Worth the drive and the entrance fee (discounts for residents)

Great collection of Islamic art (better than in the Museum of Islamic Art in Dohaand an amazing example of a Syrian courtyard house built inside the museum! The collection includes weapons, furniture, traditional womens clothes from almost all Islamic countries, jewellery, pottery, wooden boats, carpets, old photographs depicting old ways of life in various Islamic countries and old Qatari household items, including carved wooden doors and windows, and old chariots. We can also admire other collections there, like old cars or dinosaur bones. The collection is vast and located in an old beautiful Qatari fort (which is an attraction in itself). You need minimum two hours to go through all the halls and I suggest to plan a longer visit. The ticket for foreigners not residing in Qatar costs 45 QAR, but its definitely worth it. There is a cafeteria and a gift shop located in the fort and you can try the traditional Qatari zaffron coffee with a date on complimentary basis in front of the ticket box. For those who cant rent a car to get there, the museum is also accessible by public transportation. Bus line 104 from Al Ghanim bus station in central Doha can take you there in a little over an hour time at a cost of 5 QAR each way. You need to purchase a bus smartcard at the station first. The museum is located about 1,5 km from the bus stop.

It was amazing to see millions year old fossils and centuries old real weapons used by worriors. It is a place where everyone should visit . What an amazing place. A life time collection by a dedicated collector .Sheikh Faisal Bin Qassim Al Thani

Its really a wonderful place its not just a museum its more than wonderful place you will see something you will never see it again there is also a great coffee there you need to try it and dont forget to check the gift shop

Something different, something amazing that you will see in Qatar. Do visit if you are here. A vast range of antiques, vehicles, swords, guns, items from world wars, many things to see that one cant imagine will be there.

Great place..... excellent collection.... definitely one of the worlds largest..... an aeroplane and a F1 car at the same place! Truly amazed.... huge collection of arabic, indian and many other weapons, dressing styles and almost everything.... take time.... visit and experience..... the museum is located far away from city, and also not well connected by any kind of public transport. Not even cabs

A must visit Museum in Qatar 🇶🇦.Unique collection of antiques, including medieval war weapons, jewelry, dresses, paintings, handicrafts, scripts etc. They also have a good collection of fossils.Another highlight is the huge collection of vintage cars and motorcycles.QAR 20 entry ticket is worth every penny.

The second best museum in Qatar after the Islamic Museum. In fact there are more collections and varieties here. Ticket is for 20 QAR for adults (18 and aboveand free for anyone under 18. There is also a huge farm which has dears and other animals for exhibition.

Impressive!! The entrance fee is QR20 only for adult, child is free. The place is huge! No bags are allowed and of course no water and food!It is vast with lots of varieties, from vehicles (bicycles, motor bikes, cars, boats), fossils, mineral rocks, guns, furniture, textile and jewelry and many more!!! It is like personal collection than proper museum but worth a visit!The displays arrangement could be better if work on properly. Downside of the museum is most of the displays are explained with minimum description, which is difficult for visitors to understand.
