About Fanar — Qatar Islamic Cultural Center

Fanar, the Qatar Islamic Cultural Center, is known for its spiral minaret near Souq Waqif and the Doha Corniche, a design echoing the historic minaret of the Great Mosque of Samarra. Beyond its role as a working mosque holding all five daily prayers and Friday Jumu'ah, Fanar runs public tours, Arabic language classes and interfaith visitor programs introducing Islam to non-Muslim residents and tourists. Its central, walkable location near Doha's old town makes it one of the more visited mosques in the city. Fanar's visitor centre is a distinct part of the complex from its prayer halls, and opening hours for each can differ.
