Doha, Qatar: Old Doha Port invites the public to an unforgettable Eid Al Fitr celebration. Beginning the first day of Eid, the Port will host eight consecutive days of immersive experiences in the Mina District and across the Mina Parks, offering a vibrant showcase of Qatar’s rich heritage, musical artistry, and family entertainment. 

From 4 pm to 10 pm daily, visitors can enjoy cultural performances and activities that reflect the spirit of Eid. Guests will be welcomed by the rhythmic sounds of a traditional maritime band performing at Al Bandar, alongside live music from different artists throughout Mina District. The district will also come alive with interactive shows for children, several play areas, and a group of family-friendly activities that will enrich visitors’ experiences.

Complementing the celebrations in Mina District, the Mina Park behind The Terminal will host the family-focused Megapark Carnival from March 27 to April 6, running from 4 pm to 12 am during Ramadan and 3 pm to 11 pm after Ramadan. The carnival features live shows, giant inflatables, interactive games, street food stalls, and a bustling bazaar, making it the ultimate gathering space for families and children of all ages.

This Eid programming aligns with Old Doha Port’s mission to connect the local community and international visitors to a dynamic port where history lives, maritime tourism thrives, and culture prospers. As a landmark that celebrates Qatar’s heritage while shaping the future of regional tourism, Old Doha Port continues to foster experiences that are inclusive, memorable, and rooted in national pride.

“Our Eid celebrations embody the values of community, hospitality, and tradition that define Old Doha Port,” said Engineer Mohammed Abdulla Al Mulla, CEO of Old Doha Port.

“We are proud to offer a space where families can gather, culture can be experienced firsthand, and joyful memories can be made. As the marine gateway to Qatar, we aim to ensure that every celebration at the Port reflects the beauty of our nation’s story; past, present, and future.”

The Eid celebrations build on the momentum of a memorable Ramadan season at Old Doha Port which welcomed large crowds through a series of dynamic and culturally resonant events. 

From the action-packed Ekbes Beach Volleyball Championship to the nostalgic Throwback Food Festival in partnership with Visit Qatar, the Port offered a rich blend of tradition and entertainment. Families flocked to experience the Musaher Al Mina, Garangao festivities, the Ramadan Cannon, and the heartfelt Wada’a Ramadan farewell nights.
