Qatar
HIA, QDF celebrate Ramadan with immersive moments of hospitality, heritage and reflection
Hamad International Airport (HIA) and Qatar Duty Free (QDF) look forward to hosting over 4mn passengers from around the world during the month of Ramadan. The award-winning terminal will feature a variety of unique experiences, designed to create moments of reflection and connection throughout the holy month.
This year's highlight is The Orchard, the indoor garden that serves as the centerpiece of the airport's Ramadan transformation.
In-store, passengers can also discover curated Ramadan collections and giftsets across fashion, beauty, and confectionary -- a perfect treat for oneself or gift for loved ones. On 14th night of Ramadan, the airport will host traditional Qatari Garangao festivities, celebrating community and marking the halfway point of the month of fasting.
In Souq Al Matar and across the terminal, passengers can discover cultural activations including Sadu weaving, bisht tailoring, henna artistry, and falconry. Children will fill the space with traditional Garangao songs while sweets are distributed by airport staff, reflecting the night's spirit of generosity and joy.
This moment of pause extends into the airport and retailer's Ramadan campaign, 'For Moments Like These'. Capturing the journey of an intrepid young boy who sets out from home, bag in hand, to meet his father at the airport just in time to sit down and break their fast together -- the campaign speaks to the values of intention and togetherness during the Holy Month. Hamad International Airport welcomes passengers throughout the holy month with spaces to break fast, gather in prayer and spend time together before departure.
All passengers journeying through Hamad International Airport are encouraged to arrive early and experience The Orchard during Ramadan before their flight.
