Tourism concluded the activities of the eighth edition of Shop Qatar Festival. Shop
Qatar is the largest shopping festival in Qatar, with this year’s edition themed
“Your World of Shopping”. With the

Qatar 2024 ran from January 1 to 27, offering an assortment of activities
suitable for all ages, exciting raffle draws, and wins of valuable cash prizes

Shop
Qatar 2024 gained wide popularity and great traction as it coincided with the
launch of the ‘Hayakum Qatar’ campaign and the activities surrounding the AFC
Asian Cup Qatar 2023TM, which encouraged regional and international
tourists to visit Qatar.
Speaking
on the festival Sheikha Hessa Al-Thani, Head of Marketing and Planning at Qatar
Tourism, said: “Shop Qatar is an integral element in Qatar’s annual calendar,
as it attracts residents and visitors alike enhancing family tourism in the
country. This festival offers a range of activities, raffle draws, cash prizes,
competitions, discounts, promotions, and entertainment shows that suit everyone,
in addition to special activities for children.”
She
added: “Qatar Tourism works closely with all its partners in the public and
private sectors to host family- friendly events and festivals that are
well-known for their wonderful and safe atmosphere. On this occasion, we would
like to congratulate the winners of the weekly draws that took place during the
festival, and we hope that everyone that visited the shopping districts and
malls had an exceptional shopping experience.”
