Qatar Railways Company (Qatar Rail), in collaboration with several leading school supplies providers in Qatar, launched the ‘Back to School’ event at Sport City Station on the Doha Metro, from August 25 to September 3, 2024.
This event is part of the ongoing ‘Metro Events’ series, which Qatar Rail organises throughout the year at various metro stations. The initiative aligns with the company’s long-term strategic plan to transform metro stations into vibrant destinations and living communities through active public engagement.
The ‘Back to School’ event, hosted at the Sport City Station on the metro’s Gold Line, is open daily from 2 pm to 10 pm. It offers the public and metro customers a unique opportunity to explore exclusive deals from bookstores and retailers specializing in school supplies, just in time for the new academic year.
Several retail spaces within Sport City Station have been allocated to prominent bookstores to display their various promotional products amongst other retailers offering school supplies and related items.
The public can easily access the event through the metro’s three lines by heading to Sport City Station on the Gold Line or directly through the station entrance adjacent to the parking facilities around Khalifa International Stadium.
During the event, several activities will be held for the public, which can be followed along with updates on the event through Qatar Rail’s social media channels. Activities dedicated to children are held in cooperation with the Panda House of the Ministry of Municipality, as well as KidZMondo Doha.
Qatar Rail launched the ‘Metro Events’ series in 2023 with the ‘Sport? This way!’ and ‘Journey toward Health’. Additionally, numerous successful events have been organised as part of this series within the metro network.
