Ideal Indian School recently organised an educational tour for the students of the Evening Session to Msheireb Museums, aimed at enhancing their understanding of Qatar’s rich heritage, social transformation and cultural evolution through an immersive learning experience. Msheireb Museums consist of four heritage houses located in Msheireb Downtown Doha, showcasing Qatar’s history, culture and transformation from its early days to the present. A total of 36 students from Grade 8 participated in this educational tour. The students were warmly welcomed by the museum staff, who provided an overview of Msheireb Museums and their historical significance. The visit included guided tours of the four heritage houses—Bin Jelmood House, Company House, Mohammed Bin Jassim House and Radwani House—each offering unique insights into different aspects of Qatar’s past and present. The tour began at Mohammed Bin Jassim House, where students explored the transformation of Msheireb from a traditional neighborhood into a model of sustainable urban development. They learned about Qatar’s vision for heritage conservation and modern city planning. At Bin Jelmood House, which highlights the history of slavery in the region and promotes awareness of human rights and social justice, students engaged in discussions on the importance of freedom, equality, and the impact of historical events on modern society. Next, students visited Company House, which narrates the story of Qatar’s oil industry and the workers who contributed to its development. Through interactive displays and archival materials, they gained a deeper appreciation for the struggles and achievements of the early workforce in shaping Qatar’s economy. The visit concluded at Radwani House, where students gained insights into traditional Qatari family life and social customs. They observed artifacts and exhibits showcasing the evolution of domestic life over the decades. The educational tour to Msheireb Museums was a memorable and insightful experience for IIS students. It not only broadened their historical perspectives but also inspired them to reflect on the importance of cultural preservation and societal progress. The school extends its gratitude to Msheireb Museums for their hospitality and commitment to education.
