UNITED ARAB EMIRATES LIMERICK

There was a Bedouin from the UAE
who never in his life had seen a tree.
Walking through lands
of endless sands,
he had nothing to hide behind to take a pee.

The Msheireb Museums consist of four heritage houses that each have a different theme. The Company House (a.k.a. House 2) shows visitors what life was life for those who worked in the early days of oil and gas in Qatar.

The others are:

Mohammed Bin Jassim House (#1): Shows the historical development of the Msheireb District.

Radwani House (#3): Shows what a Qatari household was like back in the 1920’s.

Bin Jelmood House (#4): Describes the past and present of slavery, globally, and advocates for an end to the practice.
