About this business
Perched on the fourth floor of the National Museum of Qatar, Jiwan is a contemporary restaurant created under the culinary direction of chef Alain Ducasse. Its name is the Qatari word for a perfect pearl, and the dining room plays on that theme with pod-style seating inspired by the Khor Al Adaid dunes and millions of crystal beads suspended from the ceiling. An outdoor terrace looks over the museum's desert-rose architecture and the historic palace of Sheikh Abdullah bin Jassim Al Thani.
The kitchen reinterprets classic dishes from the Arab world, North Africa, the Levant and South Asia, using local produce and serving plates family-style for sharing. Jiwan appears in the MICHELIN Guide for Doha and suits museum visitors, business lunches and special occasions alike. It is typically closed on Tuesdays, in line with the museum, and reservations can be made through its website.
