Shop Qatar
Qatar’s biggest shopping festival, Shop Qatar, makes its return this month. Ten of the country’s most popular shopping malls, including City Center Doha, Doha Festival City, Place Vendôme and Lagoona Mall, will be participating in this month-long celebration of Qatar’s retail and leisure industry.
There will be exciting events throughout the month:
- Sephora will host Sephora Saturdays with masterclasses at Place Vendôme open to all and Sephora Ladies Night on Wednesdays, which will see private masterclasses, complete with luscious giveaways.
- Men need not feel excluded and can look forward to a Men’s Only event on Saturday, 4 March.
- Another highly anticipated event is the grand fashion show that will be taking place at Harvey Nichols in Doha Festival City, on 14 March featuring the best of local designers.
Spectacular roaming performances will also be on offer for shoppers, which will rotate between participating malls during the month-long shopping festival. Acts range from dazzling winter circus and heliosphere aerial performances to a captivating trip to the enchanted fairy forest for the little ones.
Shoppers can also participate in a range of competitions and promotions, such as the Shop and Sweep event at Virgin Megastore branches across the country. For every QAR200 spent, shoppers are eligible to enter a draw for mega prizes worth over QAR2 million! This year’s grand prize – the biggest in Shop Qatar’s long-running history – is the chance to win a brand-new studio apartment at The Pearl Qatar.
Also part of Shop Qatar is the Paw Patrol Festival taking place at Place Vendôme from 2 to 18 March.
