Msheireb Downtown Doha (MDD) received more than 60,000 visitors, especially from Saudi Arabia, Kuwait and Oman, who came to Doha by land to spend their holidays and enjoy the celebrations of Eid al-Adha over the course of seven days.
In a statement Friday, Maryam al-Jassim, director of Public Relations and Communications at Msheireb Properties, described MDD as "the neighbourhood of the future par excellence, given that it is the preferred destination for various groups of families, visitors to Qatar and businessmen, with its pleasant atmosphere and ease of access."
"The most prominent characteristic of the city is its interconnected design, its digital development, and the many benefits it offers as a smart city to tenants in commercial or residential places."
During the Eid period, MDD organised a series of fun activities for all family members, including: distributing gifts through competitions, magic shows, photo booths, electronic game rooms, electric car racing, interactive drawing sessions, and handicraft activities for children at Msheireb Galleria.
MDD can be reached via the metro, and the city has many parking lots for those wishing to go there by car, the statement added.
