Ahmed Mohamed – a Muslim teen who was arrested in the United States after his Texas teacher mistook his homemade clock for a bomb – visited the Qatar Foundation on Sunday.
According to the foundation's website, Qatar Foundation for Education, Science and Community Development is a private, non-profit organization that serves the people of Qatar by supporting and operating programs in three core mission areas: education, science and research, and community development.
His tour was documented on his official twitter account, @IstandWithAhmed.
“I am lucky that I toured the Education city in Qatar and I am very impressed with the schools.
“I was very inspired today meeting these amazing teachers and administrators who value education,” he said on Twitter.
He also shared some words of wisdom during his tour.
Meanwhile the Qatar Foundation through their official Twitter account, @QF, urged Ahmed Mohamed to “keep inventing.
Ahmed Mohamed's arrest last month took the media world by storm.
He won invitations to the White House, Google and Facebook in a surge of public support.
President Barack Obama congratulated Ahmed Mohamed, 14, on his skills in a pointed rebuke to school and police officials -- who defended his arrest -- amid accusations of Islamophobia.
