One of the latest entertainment options to open in Qatar for World Cup visitors is the Arabian Nights at Lusail. Situated adjacent to the Crescent Tower, the place offers its visitors a glimpse into the Qatari traditional culture.   

The venue will recreate a desert-like atmosphere with Arabic seating and carpeted floors. Groups of football fans can book tents at the venue depending on the number of people from small to large. 

The venue opened recently with a soft launch that will see its gates open from 6 pm until midnight. The timings will change from 12 pm to 2 am, starting Thursday, November 17, 2022, when the grand opening happens. The fan zone will charge an entry fee of QR20 per person. 

Stalls at the Arabian Nights will sell souvenirs, and Arabic sweets apart from Arabic food and beverages. The venue will also offer various games and entertainment options for its visitors.
