Dohan culture is Qatarian culture. The capital contains half the population and nearly all the country's monuments to itself.
An Arabic, Islamic area, relgious customs and norms dominate culture and preclude nightlife, and although largely shaped by the strictures and customs of the greater Persian Gulf region, the numerous attractions and architectural beauty pervading the capital distinguish Doha from other cities in the Middle East.
The most evident site of Qatar's sense of self would be its National Museum and Aquarium. Open seven days a week, the attraction houses artifacts of the country's past, medals of honor awarded to the nation, graphical and textual descriptions of Qatar's BC and prehistorical times, as well as an area dedicated to oil, gas, and general Gulf economics.
The best mall shopping to be done in the Middle East is localized in Doha's City Center Mall, where Western retail along with multiple eateries and coffee shops are in abundance.
Doha Fort is a Moorish museum from Ottoman times containing gypsum carvings, decorative wooden door works and arts and crafts encapsulating the past couple of centuries.
Other attractions of interest include the Doha Ethnographic Museum, the Grand Mosque, and the Corniche. As the capital of one of the most prosperous nations in the Persian Gulf, Doha's cornucopia of cultural activity and lures is expected.
