The exhibition will be held until February 17.
The event also marked the formal launch of the Doha Exhibition Centre.
The current edition of the Doha Jewellery & Watches Exhibition will be much larger in size, covering over 11,000sq m of exhibition space, about 73% of the total exhibition area of 15,000sq m. The stands had been designed by the occupants themselves based on the Qatar Tourism and Exhibition Authority (QTEA) specifications.
Earlier QTEA chairman Ahmed A al-Nuaimi said the exhibitors had done a “wonderful job”.
“They (exhibitors) have invested millions on their stands. Considering the scale and investments and the quality of work we have allowed them to retain the facilities for three years,” the QTEA chairman said.
He said exquisite collection of watches and jewellery from world renowned manufacturers would be on display at the event. Visitors can also buy them.
The exhibition will be open from 11am till 10pm on all days except Friday. On Friday visitors will be allowed between 4pm and 10pm.
There would not be any specific time dedicated to women this time because such an arrangement had caused inconvenience to exhibitors in the previous years. Also children under 16 will not be allowed.
Ample car parking space has been provided at the new Doha Exhibition Centre, QTEA said. It can accommodate up to 500 cars in the front side and 1,000 cars behind the building.
HE the Minister of Finance, Yousef Hussein Kamal, senior officials and prominent businessmen including Hussein Alfardan and Sheikh Nawaf Nasser bin Khalid al-Thani were among those present.
