This year’s edition of Turtle Encounters is focused on giving children the opportunity to enjoy the annual hatching phase of the hawksbill turtle - classified as an endangered species by the International Union for Conservation of Nature in 1982 - along Qatar’s coastline. The hatching phase takes place each year from the beginning of June until the end of July.

Culture Pass Family members can sign up for the Turtle Encounters taking place from 8 pm to 9 pm on 16, 21, 23, 28, 30 June, and 5, 7, and 12 July. For the safety of participants and marine life, spaces are limited for each visit. Culture Pass Family members will receive the registration link for Turtle Encounters through the member's newsletter.
