Doha: Mall of Qatar is marking Qatar National Day with a series of cultural and entertainment activities that celebrate the spirit of the nation and its people, all while taking precautionary measures to maintain visitors' safety.

The mall will shine bright with its spectacular decorations and artistic light displays. Its façade will carry projections celebrating Qatar with the flag colors. At the same time, the mall's oasis and hallways will have stunning decorations reflecting various aspects of the Qatari culture, including camels, dhows, pigeon towers, and much more.

Starting December 17, the Mall of Qatar will present the "Flag Museum," which documents Qatar's Flag progression from its birth until its current state. Screens accompanied by sound and visual effects will educate and entertain visitors about the flag's history and the country it represents. Visitors can visit the Flag Museum on the ground floor next to Pari Gallery. It will be part of the mall's community initiatives to raise awareness of Qatar history to educate the country's new generation.

Appreciating arts and culture, Mall of Qatar organized the annual School Art Competition under the theme "How Does Qatar 2022 Look Like to You?" to encourage students to creatively show their talent. A total of 16 schools have participated and will present 20 pieces of art, with the winners to be announced on December 21 by a dedicated judging panel that includes Qatari artists. 

On December 18, fans will gather onsite to watch the final match of Amir's Cup taking place at the adjacent Al Rayyan Stadium - one of FIFA 2022 stadiums. 

For those who don't have the chance to watch the match in the stadium, Mall of Qatar will broadcast the match live on the giant screens at the Oasis Stage. 

Moreover, visitors can enjoy delicious meals in the surrounding restaurants.

While the weekly raffle draw of the "Pick and Choose" shopping festival will take place on Thursday evening on a BMW 320 car, the raffle draw for the second grand prize will be held Friday at 4:00 pm on December 18, with one lucky winner will drive away with a luxury BMW X7. 

Emile Sarkis, General Manager, Mall of Qatar, stated: "We extend our warm congratulations and greetings to the wise leadership and people of Qatar and wish them a glorious National Day. On this special occasion, the Mall of Qatar is proud to organize exciting activations such as the Flag Museum that reflect the day's theme and spread knowledge of Qatar's history excitingly.
