A lot of photographers have tried to capture the beauty of Qatar, but this time lapse film produced by British filmmaker, Richard Bentley is exceptionally amazing.

Bentley managed to visually capture the beauty of both the silence of the desert and the bustle of the Qatar's capital, Doha.

This time-lapse film starts in the desert near Zekreet and shows the huge, awe-inspiring works of sculptor Richard Serra. His work can also be found in the gardens of the Museum of Islamic Art, also featured in the time-lapse film.

"It [MIA] has always fascinated me, ever since I first visited Qatar several years ago," says Bentley, who has been living in Qatar since January 2014.

The film also features Qatar's State Mosque as well as several iconic buildings located in West Bay.

Amazing work, well done Richard... However you should notice the still cranes in different scenes, they explain the situation in Qatar.
