03-02-2026

The Museum of Islamic Art (MIA), in collaboration with the Aga Khan Trust for Culture (AKTC), presents Empire of Light: Visions and Voices of Afghanistan, a landmark exhibition celebrating Afghanistan’s rich history, art, and architectural heritage. Running from 2 February to 30 May 2026 at MIA, the exhibition traces Afghanistan’s journey from pre-Islamic times to the present day, highlighting its historic role as a crossroads of cultures, religions, ideas, and peoples. Curated by Nicoletta Fazio and Thomas W. Lentz, the exhibition features nearly 150 rare objects and immersive displays, offering visitors a comprehensive cultural and artistic narrative of the region. Officially inaugurated by the Chairperson of Qatar Museums, Her Excellency Sheikha Al Mayassa bint Hamad bin Khalifa Al Thani, in the presence of Prince Aly Muhammad Aga Khan and other distinguished guests, the exhibition also underscores the importance of heritage conservation. Large-scale wooden architectural models—crafted at the AKTC Jangalak Vocational Training Centre in Kabul—depict Afghanistan’s iconic monuments and reflect AKTC’s ongoing restoration efforts since 2002. Empire of Light forms part of Evolution Nation, a cultural initiative curated by Qatar Creates to mark 50 years since the founding of the National Museum of Qatar, reinforcing Qatar’s position as a global hub for art, culture, and creativity.

Invest in Silver in Qatar – A Smart Wealth Move

Finance & Investment | Last updated : 03-02-2026

Investing in silver in Qatar is gaining popularity among investors looking for stability, affordability, and long-term growth. As a precious metal, silver acts as a hedge against inflation and currency fluctuations, making it a reliable option in uncertain economic conditions. With Qatar’s strong financial ecosystem and easy access to bullion and trading platforms, silver investment is both practical and secure.

Why Silver Is Attractive for Investors

Silver stands out because it combines investment value and industrial demand. It is widely used in electronics, renewable energy, and medical applications, which supports consistent demand. Compared to gold, silver has a lower entry cost, allowing new and mid-level investors in Qatar to diversify their portfolios without heavy capital requirements.

Silver Price Trends and Market Performance

Recent silver price charts show cyclical growth with strong recovery potential during global market volatility. Historically, silver tends to outperform during economic rebounds, making it ideal for long-term holding. Silver prices have shown strong upward momentum over the past five years, rising from around $17.77 per ounce to highs above $118.45 (a growth of over 300%). Historical price data highlights how silver has transitioned from cyclical lows to sustained bullish phases.

In early 2026, silver reached a new all-time nominal high near $121.64 per ounce before pulling back due to market corrections and profit-taking — a sign of both extreme demand and volatility

Price Highlights (2025–2026):
  • All-time peak: ~$121.64/oz (Jan 2026) 
  • 52-week trading range: ~$28–$121/oz

How to Invest in Silver in Qatar

In Qatar, you can invest in silver through physical silver bars and coins, commodity trading platforms, or silver-backed financial instruments. Each option suits different risk profiles and investment goals. Whether you are planning short-term trading or long-term wealth preservation, silver remains a smart and flexible investment choice in Qatar’s growing market.
