It has played an instrumental role in our strategy to position Qatar as an attractive destination for authentic and bespoke experiences.

This, combined with multiple daily flight options from Qatar Airways and numerous hospitality and dining offers from hotels in and around Doha, offers a great opportunity to visitors from all over the world to go and enjoy the festival as well as other unique experiences Qatar offers.
