Qatar proudly celebrates its National Day on December 18. Each year, different institutions in the country organise various events to celebrate it in style.

This year, Qatar’s Ministry of Commerce and Industry (MoCI) has announced a similar initiative for the first time — the National Day Trade Festival — in association with the National Tourism Council, reported Gulf Times.

The Festival, which will run from December 15 to 20, will see the participation from shop owners, retail sector professionals, private sector companies and other organisations.

It will allow Qatar’s citizens and residents to enjoy National Day through massive and unprecedented discounts. 

Private sector companies and organisations participating in the festival will include shopping malls, restaurants, retail outlets, beauty salons, hospitality service providers, hotels, sports clubs, health and beauty centres and institutes, and entertainment centres, reported Qatar Tribune.

Front windows of all participating outlets will bear the National Day Trade Festival logo that has been specifically designed for the event.

“This initiative is a part of the ministry’s efforts to organise events that reflect pride in National Day celebrations, and contribute to cementing the values of loyalty and a sense of belonging to our country and the wise leadership,” said MoCI Media Officer Mohamed Ahmed Al Ansari. 

“The ministry also sought to bolster trade activity across all markets by providing retail outlets with the opportunity to offer outstanding promotions, thus enabling citizens and residents to benefit from great discounts throughout this period,” he added.

Over 14 shopping malls across Qatar, as well as other shops and retail outlets, will participate in the festival.
