(MENAFN- Gulf Times) Visitors from Kuwait and Oman have praised the various entertainment activities organised by Katara-the Cultural Village Foundation to celebrate Eid al-Fitr, its attention to Arab heritage and the attractive presentation, the official Qatar News Agency (QNA) reports.
Kuwaiti national Nasser al-Ajamai said Katara, which he is visiting for the second time, is a "cultural, touristic and social project that reflects Qatar's civilisational vision and its keenness regarding the welfare of its citizens and visitors," adding that the project "has become widely famous across the Gulf region because it provides visitors with all kinds of entertainment and fun in an intimate family atmosphere."
Abdullah Karam, also from Kuwait, described Katara as a "comprehensive cultural and touristic city in the region that reflects the cultural and urban renaissance in Qatar." "What I saw during my first visit to Katara was more than wonderful. It deserves this leading status as an ideal destination for Gulf citizens on holidays," Karam said, expressing delight over Katara's offerings of "entertaining performances and interesting cultural segments".
Omani visitors echoed similar views about Katara. Naji Haidar al-Balushi said he was visiting Katara for the first time with his family after hearing about it from friends and media. "I was surprised about the various cultural and entertainment programmes it offers, which entertain families in a warm atmosphere. It really deserves to be visited several times and I'll put it on top of my destinations during my future visits to Qatar," he noted.
Although Ali al-Hamadani, another Omani visitor, is in Katara for the sixth time, he says every time he finds different entertainment activities, adding that the Cultural Village is "the most beautiful place to spend Eid and the holidays" as it features "culture, entertainment and knowledge and has the necessary facilities for any tourist in terms of restaurants and cafes that offer the best in world cuisine".
Adnan al-Buraiki, also from Oman, highlighted Katara's attention to heritage, noting that it brings together all forms of heritage in the same place as the different activities "take you on an entertaining journey through our Arab heritage treasures and delve into the depths of the past."
Khaled Abdulraheem al-Sayyed, head of the festival's organising committee, said they were keen on presenting new and innovative concepts that "combine our original Arab heritage with its interesting tales and sophisticated modern technology", adding that the performances are drawing a wide audience from several nationalities, especially Gulf visitors who have chosen Qatar as their Eid holiday destination.
Al-Sayyed said Katara has provided all services and facilities for visitors, such as transportation to and from parking areas, drinking water, special cars for persons with disability, an information centre, restaurants and cafes, and ATMs.
