Mohammed Bin Jassim House - Msheireb Museums

This guide to the Mohammed bin Jassim House in Doha's Msheireb district follows the son of Qatar's founding sheikh, who served as young mayor of Doha, and the house he left behind after moving on from it. You'll hear how the house kept working long after he was gone, as a doctor's clinic and later a shelter for the poor, while the sikka alleyways around it filled with Qatar's first hotel, bank, pharmacy and cafes. It also traces Msheireb's near-erasure when Doha modernized and the district was slated for demolition.
