Mandarin Oriental, Doha is an intimate and stylish urban retreat that's perfectly located in the centre of Msheireb Downtown Doha, and overlooks the Barahat Msheireb town square which is the new lifestyle and cultural heart of the city. The hotel blends chic and contemporary design with elegant and subtle touches of Qatari heritage and traditions, bringing new levels of luxury to Qatar. In other words, it's the perfect place to celebrate Qatar National Day 2020!

Qatar National Day, also known as Founder’s Day, is celebrated in Qatar every year on 18 December to commemorate the country’s unification in 1878, and this year is no different. The reason to celebrate is the same, but the concept is different at Mandarin Oriental, Doha.
