Doha: As part of Qatar National Day celebrations, 300 drones will take to the sky to put up a unique air show on December 17 and 19. 

The two airshows will be held at the waterfront of Katara at 7pm and 9pm. 

As per a video put by the cultural centre on its twitter account, the showcase will include breathtaking formations of national icons - including Qatar map, Qatar flag, national animal Oryx and even the face of HH the Emir. 

Katara, last week, had announced 60 events including workshops, art exhibition. and other reacreational shows as part of its eight day celebrations. A dancing fountain show accompanied by national songs was said to be highlight of the celebrations, that takes place every 20 minutes  from 4pm each day.

Apart from this the cultural centre will also showcase parachute parades and spectacular fireworks as part of QND 2017. 

Seems like Katara is the place to be during this Qatar National Day.
