The Lusail Boulevard has added some heritage themes to its Ramadan outlook while adding colours to the festive evening atmosphere. The traditional tents alongside the grand Al Sa’ad Plaza are adding charms to the streets while featuring Qatar’s expansive fondness towards tradition and heritage.
The tents lend the visitors opportunity to taste traditional Qatari beverages, coffee and Karak tea while some are allocated for traditional clothes. Yet, some tents have handcrafts that feature Qatari artists. These are all set up at Lusail Boulevard to promote Qatari entrepreneurs and artists while giving them spaces in the prime tourist spot in Doha.
“Lusail Boulevard is an ideal place to showcase our products while reaching out to the locals and foreigners alike. People come and visit our tents and buy our products,” one of the sellers told Gulf Times.
Waleed al-Mannai, a Qatari artist, displays and sells his brand wooden handicraft products at one of the tents here. His tent offers wooden products made of olive, litchi and almond trees and bamboo. The Lihan brand has products which range from vessels to beautifully handmade tables. “The Ramadan nights here are also an opportunity for artists to showcase their products. Many come here and see our products while praising them,” al-Mannai said.
