The Public Works Authority (Ashghal), along with Qatar Tourism and Qatar Museums, in cooperation with Doha Expo 2023 Organising Committee, are hosting Doha Festive Lightings 2023 with the slogan ‘Qatar between Past and Present’, from December 8 to 31 at the Al Masrah Park and Corniche Pedestrian Tunnel Plaza near Qatar National Museum.
The festival is characterised by its unique location that is close to the location of Doha Expo 2023, which allows visitors of the global event to learn about Qatar’s culture and customs.
The location of Al Masrah Park was chosen because of its convenient access by metro and its connectivity to Doha Corniche, as well as the park’s spectacular view that ensures the visitors an exceptional experience within a special family-oriented environment.
A joint statement of the organizing committee of the Doha Festive Lightings 2023 outlined that the festival includes several interactive lightings, and a series of activities that celebrate Qatari culture, Qatar’s marine life and wildlife and highlight technological development.
These activities include the Dancing Fountain in Corniche Plaza, Path of Pearls in the pedestrian tunnel linking Doha Corniche to Al Masrah Park, which includes Tales of The Sea tunnel, The Maze, Dome of Nomadic Skies, Dome of Pearl Wonders, and the Digital Journey (Hologram).
The organizers affirmed that Doha is a vibrant destination and adding more than 40 new public art installations will further transform the city into a dynamic urban canvas that serves to spark conversations and provide sources of inspiration for all.
They stated that this cooperation offers distinguished experiences for residents and visitors that reflect the culture of the State of Qatar, pointing out that the event will add to the beauty of the surrounding area which is already marked by some of Qatar’s most prominent tourism attractions, as Qatar continues to offer a diverse and distinct tourism to its residents as well as international visitors.
They reiterated their keenness to offer innovative designs that provide visitors with the experience of enjoying amazing shows and making this edition unique with new elements where the designs that are inspired by the Qatari environment shed light on Qatar’s wildlife and marine life through technological development.
