Qatar is set to host a vibrant array of events this May as part of the 'Hala Summer' campaign, which runs from April to September 2026. The initiative, aimed at enhancing Qatar's appeal as a family-friendly destination, includes the 'Kids Go Free' promotion, offering complimentary access for children to various attractions. This move is expected to attract families from the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) region, with Qatar positioned as an accessible destination via air and land.
The May edition of the Qatar Calendar promises a diverse schedule, featuring major international exhibitions like the Doha International Book Fair 2026 and sporting events such as the Amir Cup Final 2026. Entertainment highlights include the Fontana Circus at Hyatt Plaza, the interactive musical Jamal Jamal at the Qatar National Convention Centre, and a comedy show, Wagef!, at Abdulaziz Nasser Theatre.
Music lovers can enjoy Candlelight concerts at the Four Seasons Hotel Doha and performances by the Qatar Philharmonic Orchestra at Katara Opera House. For cultural enthusiasts, the Museum of Islamic Art will host Family Day: Hajj – Traditions, Art and Legacy, alongside various art workshops.
Sporting events will be led by the Amir Cup Final on 9 May at Khalifa International Stadium, with the 4th GCC Games taking place from 11 to 22 May. The month also features cultural exhibitions, including the Doha International Book Fair and Sneaker Con Doha.
These events underscore Qatar's commitment to offering a well-curated calendar of experiences, reinforcing its status as a premier summer destination for GCC visitors
