Visit Live Archaeological Excavations during the Ain Mohammed & Mesaika Guided Tour
Due to the current situation in the country and in line with the precautionary measures being observed across Qatar, we regret to inform you that the this upcoming program have been cancelled.
For a limited time, Qatar Creates Membership and Qatar Museum Archaeology department invites the public to explore the active excavation sites at Ain Mohammed and Mesaika as part of the Landscapes of Faith series. Meet the archaeologists, see real discoveries as they happen, and experience how the past is uncovered piece by piece.
Led by the project director of Landscapes of Faith, Dr Robert Carter, this guided tour offers a rare look at the tools, methods, and technologies used to understand everyday life in early Islamic Qatar. Participants will learn how researchers uncover stories of craft production, trade, and community, and be among the first to view new finds from Abbasid-period textile workshops.
The experience includes guided visits to both the Mesaika and Ain Mohammed sites. Suitable for adults aged 16 and above.
A truly unique experience designed for Qatar Creates Members seeking deeper cultural connection and discovery – book your place before it’s gone.
