The Pearl-Qatar, United Development Company's (UDC) flagship project and one of the largest urban developments in the country, has prepared a line-up of entertainment activities during the Eid Al-Fitr holiday, set to run from July 6 to 8.

UDC announced that the festive activities, in addition to an Eid shopping bazaar dubbed as 'Al Maqtoora,' will give residents and visitors the opportunity to spend memorable times with their families from 4pm to 9pm.

The Pearl-Qatar will host a rich entertainment programme in Medina Centrale’s indoor arena of Souq Al Medina, featuring a range of recreational activities for families and children that will appeal to all ages and interests.

These will include game booths, a drawing and coloring station, stilt walkers, face painting, clowns, balloon twisting and decorations, and mascots, among others. Popcorn, cotton candy and ice-cream will also be distributed at the venue.

'Al Maqtoora' Market Bazaar, which will also be located in Souq Al Medina side by side with the main event, is one of several ways UDC and The Pearl-Qatar are partnering with local entrepreneurs by giving them a platform to promote their businesses.

Organised by Bedaya Centre, which supports Qatari start-ups, 'Al Maqtoora' is set to exhibit food, fashion items, perfumes, jewellery, accessories, drawings and creative designs.

The carefully-planned Eid activities build on a successful track record of previous family events which have witnessed a huge turnout and many happy faces catering fun to the community while reflecting Qatar’s genuine heritage and deep rooted culture.

Also, as an iconic site of Qatar, The Pearl-Qatar offers residents and visitors unmatched shopping, dining and leisure experiences, making the Island a unique retail and entertainment hub in the country that plays a key role in driving tourism to the country especially during Eid holidays.
