notfromhere - Yep, it still has the blurb about Qatar National Museum, which "recently underwent an award winning 3 year restoration".
EG - don't be ridiculous.
Xena - Totally agree. It's such a shame they moved them. I heard that when I.M Pei was approached to design the Museum of Islamic Art he said he would only do it if it had no other buildings directly around it, so it could be seen properly. Hence why it's built on a bit of land jutting into the bay, and I expect that's why Al Bandar was knocked down.
baldrick - They should know by doing a bit of research themselves!
And another thing I noticed from the same article - where is the "Olympic-size" ice rink in City Center? I've only seen the piddly-little one in the middle of the mall.
To be fair, we probably shouldn't take an article that recommends going to Qube ("Doha's club du jour") too seriously.
