The five-day activities of the Eid Al Fitr Festival kicked off Saturday evening in Souq Waqif and Souq Al Wakra, which is organized by the celebrations committee of the Private Engineering Office.

On the first day of the festival, the two venues witnessed a large turnout of Qatari and resident families and citizens of the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) countries, who came to these two heritage spaces to bring joy and happiness to their children on Eid Al Fitr.

A large crowd participated in the events and activities prepared by the celebrations committee of the Private Engineering Office, including skill games for all age groups and infantry teams' performances, especially since the moderate weather helped everyone to go out into public spaces.

The celebrations committee stated that the Eid Al Fitr Festival in Souq Waqif has always been a special occasion due to its presence in Doha downtown, adding that the Souq includes all the vital facilities needed by the visitor and restaurants of all kinds and tastes, eastern and western as well as traditional Qatari dishes.

Also, Souq Al Wakra hosts the Eid Al Fitr Festival after the successes it achieved on such an occasion and in other festivals over the past years. The Souq is distinguished by its unique heritage on the Al Wakra beachfront.

The show teams spread joy and pleasure in the hearts of visitors in each of Souq Waqif and Souq Al Wakra with their luminous and lacy clothes, while they beat the drums in an enthusiastic musical atmosphere.
