The palace is one of Doha's most famous heritage landmarks, which refers to the ancient lifestyle in the State of Qatar. It is an amazing heritage landmark that celebrates the history and heritage of Qatar and at the same time reflects the progress and rapid development of the state. The palace has unique historical importance for the State of Qatar, as it was built by Sheikh Abdullah bin Jassim. Bin Mohammed Al Thani, the ruler of Qatar at the time in the early twentieth century, and he used it at that time as a headquarters for both residence and government. The palace remained inhabited for more than 15 years, and then it was completely abandoned after that. His Highness the Father Emir Sheikh Khalifa assumed power in February 1972. He issued his generous orders to restore and rehabilitate the palace to become a state museum. In 1975, after its rehabilitation, the palace was transformed into the headquarters of the former Qatar National Museum, and at that time it included a group of artifacts and exhibits that celebrated the Qatari heritage, culture, and environment. In 2013 The restoration and rehabilitation of the palace began for the second time, as it constitutes an important part and section within the design of the modern National Museum.. Currently, the palace occupies a distinguished place in the heart of the new National Museum, and is considered an amazing architectural icon that celebrates the past and embraces the future..
