The 10th Local Dates Festival, which will showcase several date varieties from nearby farms, is due to take place in Souq Waqif.
The festival, which will be organized by the Ministry of Municipality and the Souq Waqif Management, will begin today in Souq Waqif's Eastern Square and run until August 7. With the exception of Friday and Saturday, when the event is open until 10 p.m., it will be open from 4 p.m. to 9 p.m.
All Qatari date varieties, such as Al Khalas, Al Khenaizi, Al Shishi, Al Barhi, Al Saqai, Al Razizi, Nabt Saif, and Al Lulu, are featured at the yearly dates festival.
In addition to helping local farmers promote their goods, the project aims to raise awareness of Qatar's abundant date production among tourists.
