The biggest Summer in Qatar programme wrapped up on 16 August after a week of colourful Eid Al Adha celebrations in Souq Waqif, Al Wakra, Katara and all the partner shopping malls as well as a lineup of multicultural music, comedy, theatre and movie award shows. The third and final raffle draw at the Mall of Qatar announced the winners of the final raffle draw, marking the end of the summer programme.
During Eid holidays, residents and visitors enjoyed a Kuwaiti play “Khutuat AlShaytan” at Qatar National Theatre. Blue Man Group enthralled young and old with their novel visual arts performance. Omid Djalili, Nemr Abou Nassar and Hamad Al-Amari had audiences in fits at the Doha Comedy Festival while Kadim Al Saher mesmerised the audiences with his magical singing for two nights.

Adding to the Eid joy and excitement, Qatar’s first-ever indoor snow-themed park Snow Dunes opened at Doha Festival City on the second day of Eid, where families enjoyed the ice-cold temperature and a variety of activities and rides spread over 9,500 square metres.
