Colourful Eid Al Adha festivities dazzled visitors at Souq Waqif, Souq al Wakrah, and Katara Cultural Village through Eid. Families enjoyed games and shows across these cultural hubs, as well as at the city’s beaches, where conditions were perfect for soaking up the last of the summer holidays. Malls participating in Summer in Qatar kept families busy with special entertainment shows for children of all ages.
Qatar National Tourism Council (QNTC) Chief Marketing Officer, Mr. Rashed Al Qurese, said: “Eid is a time for celebrating with family and friends, we at QNTC are pleased to bring people together for the holiday, as we wind down our largest summer program. With the collaboration of over 30 public and private sector partners in hospitality, retail and entertainment, Summer in Qatar has demonstrated the commitment across sectors to further evolve our offerings and build a sustainable tourism sector.”
