Arrival in Doha

Google knows I’m here

Ancient and modern

Later, on our first day, a visit to the Museum of Islamic Arts followed by a visit to The Pearl, made me wonder how we juxtapose such radical divergent notions of ancient and modern/futuristic.

On the one hand we witness glorious 10th century tiles and artifacts, and then are whisked down The Corniche to visit the showroom for the yet-to-be-constructed Pearl.

 

 

 

 

How do we make sense of both?
