The oud is the cornerstone of Arab music and throughout its long history oud music has been praised for its healing powers. Its ability to calm and revive human hearts and spirits is inarguable.
The use of mehndi has its origins in the ancient Middle East and usually used for ceremonies, but recently became one of the must-do things while visiting Gulf countries.
Music is the language of the soul and this is the only language that creates no language barriers.

Can you imagine that Camel Racing is so popular in Qatar that there is a TV channel dedicated only to the transmission of races. A visit to the Al-Shahaniya camel racetrack is a unique opportunity to admire the best groomed and some of the most expensive camels on the planet, some of which are worth as much as one million Qatari riyals. On the way back our guests will have an opportunity to visit one of the world’s largest private museums through Sheikh Faisal Bin Qassim Al Thani’s lens.

Remote-controlled, toddler-sized robot jockeys, clothed in colourful racing silks delight locals and tourists, as they ride the lanky mammals across the sandy track. Racing camels can run at speeds of up to 40 mph in short sprints and may continue at 30 mph for as long as an hour. The operator applies the whip antenna, commands the jockey to pull on the reins, and shouts encouragement to the camel via a built-in speaker.
Located outside the city in a traditional style fort at Al Samriya Farm, the Sheikh Faisal Bin Qassim Al Thani Museum houses the Sheikh’s personal collection, with a body of works including Islamic art, Qatari heritage, vehicles, handmade carpets, and coins & currency, from over four continents. These diverse and eclectic objects tell the story of the museum’s founder, Sheikh Faisal bin Qassim, as well as of humanity in general.

The flagship initiative of Qatar Foundation, Education City, is unlike any other place in Qatar. Here, students and visitors will surely find something they like or enjoy thanks to the various facilities and fields across the city.
Education City Mosque
Qatar National Library
Al Shaqab Stands
Oxygen Park
It’s located in the Minaretein building, which rests on five large columns representing the five pillars of Islam, with each featuring a verse drawn from the Holy Qur’an.
QNL's building is an architectural wonder designed by Dutch architect Rem Koolhaas. Heritage section includes rare books, manuscripts, and other materials related to Arab-Islamic civilization.
It is an enduring tribute to the Arabian horse and the tradition of equestrian excellence that has co-evolved with this breed in Qatar. Al Shaqab ensures that the cultural legacy and appreciation of the Arabian breed are lovingly handed down in Qatar from generation to generation.
The idea of the 130,000-square-meter Oxygen Park is to introduce a green lung in Education City, inviting students and visitors alike to refresh their mind, body, and spirit through active exercise and to explore the symbiotic relationships between oxygen, plants, and healthy purified living.
