Doha, Qatar: The hour and hour programme organised the ‘Tourist Destinations’ activity as part of the Qatar Heritage Festival. This was supported by Qatar Museums, Ain Mohammed Village, and in cooperation with the Youth Apparatus of Al Sailiya Sports Club.
The activity was held in the historic Ain Mohammed Village, aiming to highlight the richness and diversity of the Qatari experience in terms of culture, heritage, nature, and authentic hospitality.
Organising this third edition of the activity by the hour and hour programme came to enhance Qatar’s position as a leading regional and global tourist destination. The programme provided a significant opportunity for senior citizens to explore the most important tourist and cultural landmarks within Qatar, connecting them with the country’s geography, history, and civilisational heritage.
Tamani Al-Yafie, CEO of the hour and hour programme, expressed her great pleasure in organising this activity, which is directed towards senior citizens. It comes after the program organized two previous editions; the first launched last August targeting primary and preparatory school students and people with special needs, while the second edition targeted secondary and university students during last November. She stated that the third edition of the activity gained special importance as it reflected Qatari heritage and authenticity, especially at the event’s location, Ain Mohammed Village, this archaeological village that highlights the originality of Qatari heritage.
Tamani Al-Yafie added that organising the ‘Tourist Destinations’ activity by hour and hour included an integrated interactive program combining various educational activities. Its objectives centered around introducing senior citizens to the most prominent tourist, cultural, and historical landmarks in Qatar. She noted that the program aims to support the tourism economy by stimulating domestic tourism and attracting visitors, in addition to enhancing partnership with the private sector and cultural, tourism, and sports institutions to develop local tourism content.
