Imam Muhammad Bin Abdul Wahab Mosque also called National/ State Grand mosque of Qatar, located in Al Muhandissen street Doha. IMPORTANT TO KNOW:- If you find the location of Grand Mosque of Doha from Google they will take you to other Mosque name "Al Shouyoukh Mosque" which is located near Souq Waqif. So if you want to visit Grand Mosque always search "Imam Muhammad Bin Abdul Wahab Mosque" than you will get the right location. The distance of National Mosque is 3.7 km from West Bay and 8.1 km from Old Doha/ Souq Waqif. The Mosque was opened in 2011, having 90 domes and 1 Minaret with total capacity of 30,000 peoples. The National Mosque is the largest Mosque of Qatar. This is one of the beautiful Mosque i have ever seen with eye catching architecture that have several entrance gates for gents, ladies, disabled person and have large parking area. The best time to visit Mosque is Evening or blue hours to enjoy the lighting of the mosque. The security persons will allow you only to take pictures from mobile they won't allow you to take pictures with Professional Camera (DSLR) without prior approval from qatar authorities that was very disappointed for me because i walked too long just to take pictures with my camera. Muslims and non-Muslims both can visit the Mosque any time with proper dress code, ladies must wear Abaya and cover their heads. If you take a taxi to the mosque either you can ask driver to wait for you or you can walk around 300 to 500 meters to reach at Main street from where you can get another taxi. If you are in Qatar must visit this place.

During our recent stay in Doha we decided to attend the Total Ladies Open. We purchased tickets for the opening day of the tournament with access to the VIP village. The facilities are wonderful and we spent most of the day watching variious games on centre court and then heading down to the VIP Village to sample some of the amazing food that was laid on. This was an added bonus for us as we are not huge tennis fans, but thanks to our experience at Khalifa Tennis Complex that may change. It was great to do something different on holiday.

As others have said it is a great facility and we really enjoyed the track and field events - sound is a challenge at the ends. Better in the middle..... Beautiful and the light show is amazing. It was a lot of walking. It was strange we could not get in sooner from Villagio.

Staying at a hotel in Souq Wakif I regularly passed by this conspicuous building, especially attractive in the changing daylight. Besides the rows of square windows in different patterns the most eye-catching feature is the minaret, with its exterior spiraling staircase. A design, which is known from the famous 9th century Great Mosque of Samarra, north of Baghdad, again probably inspired by the old Mesopotamian ziqqurat. It can also be seen at the Ibn Tulun Mosque in Cairo and at the four minarets of the new Sheikh Khalifa Bin Zayed Al Nahyan Mosque in the UAE's Al Ain. Doha's Fanar, an old name, is a mosque, a library and a center for various religious activities, also for lessons in Arabic and Islam, open to non-Muslims as well. Its official name is now Abdulla Bin Zaid Al Mahmoud Islamic Cultural Center, thus named after a Qatari scholar in law and supreme judge.
