Qataris are very proud of their maritime heritage and traditions. All occasions are good to celebrate them. Traditional boats used for pearl harvesting and trading goods on the high seas, long before the discovery of oil and gas, are locally known as Dhows. These boats were displayed during an annual festival at Katara Cultural Village. Aadel Haleem sailed through the stands, celebrating Qatar’s maritime history.
The Qatari peninsula has expanded its leisure and entertainment offerings, a boon for international visitors. Laila Humairah was treated to a special tour of the Lusail Winter Wonderland theme park to experience its family-friendly activities and thrilling attractions.
