There will also be various activities in malls across Qatar including commercial sales and raffle draw and generous prizes and a Disney On Ice show at the Qatar National Convention Center.
The festival is part of the Qatar National Tourism Sector Strategy 2030, which was launched by QTA in cooperation with stakeholders in the public and private sectors.
