Qatar is inviting visitors from across the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) to celebrate Eid al-Adha with a rich blend of entertainment, cultural experiences, and family-friendly activities. The festivities coincide with Visit Qatar’s ‘Hala Summer’ season, offering a diverse array of events that make it an ideal time to explore the country.

Visitors can enjoy exclusive ‘Hala Summer’ offers at over 100 hotels and resorts, with initiatives like ‘Kids Go Free’ allowing up to two children under 12 to stay and dine at no extra cost. This campaign, running until September 2026, provides exceptional value across accommodation, dining, and leisure, enhancing the travel experience for families.

Qatar's coastline offers a variety of water-based activities, from Desert Falls Water & Adventure Park to the serene Fuwairit Kite Beach. Public beaches like Katara Beach and West Bay Beach provide unique seaside experiences, complete with watersports and beachfront dining.

Live entertainment will feature prominently during Eid, with the Qatar Philharmonic Orchestra performing on 23 May and the Fontana Circus continuing at Hyatt Plaza until 31 May. The Qatar National Convention Centre will host the children's musical Jamal Jamal during the first three days of Eid al-Adha, alongside other performances across Doha.

Cultural enthusiasts can explore exhibitions such as Sneaker Con Doha and displays at the Museum of Islamic Art and Mathaf Arab Museum of Modern Art. These events highlight Qatar's cultural and creative scene, reinforcing its status as a leading destination for GCC travellers.
