Feature: Feeding a nation from sand -- Doha exhibition highlights self-sufficiency drive


DOHA, Aug. 13 (Xinhua) -- At first glance, the ongoing exhibition at the Museum of Islamic Art in Doha appears to be a simple celebration of culinary traditions.

The artifacts on display -- drawn from across the Middle East and beyond -- span more than a thousand years. Inside the quiet galleries, dining vessels from different eras are carefully arranged, while a faint aroma of spices drifts through the air. Videos of flatbread being baked and images of pastoral life play softly on the walls, creating a sense of warmth and nostalgia.
