Katara Cultural Village in Qatar

If you, like me, enjoy photographing architecture, I believe you would also love the Katara Cultural Village in Doha, Qatar – it's also a signature attraction of Doha, and you can see its promotional posters at the airport. This place is actually a newly built seaside cultural and creative park, with a Greek-style open-air theater at its core, surrounded by earth-toned buildings in local style, mainly used as dining, hotel, and other consumer areas. There was a night market during the World Cup, but it seems to be closed now. The iconic building in the first picture is actually a pigeon tower, with many white pigeons poking their heads out of the small holes, so it's best to bring a telephoto lens for a good shot. Additionally, there's a dazzling golden mosque 🕌 in the village that stands out, basking in the intoxicating golden light of the setting sun. In fact, not all the buildings in the cultural village are golden, but due to the unified design style and luxurious and exquisite layout, the opulence is immediately apparent. Almost every building is surrounded by shallow water, with various green plants and flowers decorating each courtyard, making it look less like the Middle Eastern desert and more like North Africa. Because the cultural village is right next to Qatar's most luxurious mall, and across the bay from the Pearl Island, which is popular with the wealthy, this place is where the rich gather for meals, dates, and emotional affairs. The luxury sports cars at the entrance confirm this. On the seaside of the cultural village, there are water activities such as sailing, but of course, the prices are also very luxurious. The famous Little Prince of Qatar has many pictures taken here. Transportation: The metro red line goes directly there. The dining near this area is quite expensive, averaging over 300 RMB per person, and several of Doha's top Middle Eastern-style restaurants are located here. There is a CHEDI hotel inside the cultural village, which you can consider if money is not an issue.
