Doha, Qatar – August 5, 2024 – Msheireb Properties today announced the addition of new activities to
its successful summer programme at Msheireb Downtown Doha (MDD), as well as a host of additional
Msheireb Museums workshops. As August unfolds, Msheireb Downtown Doha remains the city's
premier summer destination. Whether seeking family entertainment, cultural experiences, or a cool
retreat from the heat, MDD offers a diverse and enriching atmosphere for all.
Opened on August 1st at the Msheireb Galleria Roof Terrace, the new Splash Zone offers a refreshing
escape from the summer heat. This exciting attraction features four water inflatables suitable for all
ages, complemented by outlets selling ice cream and retail items. Open to both residents and visitors at
a nominative fee.
Checklist Version 2
From August 15th to 31st, Msheireb Galleria will host Checklist Version 2, a unique back-to-school-
themed event. The experience will transport visitors decades back to historic Qatari school days with
displays of vintage school items. Participants can join spelling bee competitions, enjoy face painting, and
explore arts and crafts stations. A special reading nook will host storytelling sessions, adding to the
immersive experience. To help families prepare for the new academic year, retail booths will offer a
selection of school supplies.
These additions complement the ongoing summer activities at MDD, which have been running since July
15th and will continue through August 31st. Residents and visitors can still enjoy popular attractions
such as the Skill Fest Zone, featuring an exhibition by wildlife photographer Azzam Al Mannai, the
creative Play Zone for children, and the immersive Maze Zone with its dynamic lighting and sound
effects.
New Msheireb Museums Hands-On Workshops
Msheireb Museums will also expand its summer programme with new workshops in August. Visitors can
now explore resin art, 3D printing, solar-powered miniatures, and embroidery, in addition to ongoing
favourites such as Lego Printmaking, Arabic Calligraphy, and Gypsum Crafts. These diverse activities,
catering to various age groups, offer hands-on learning experiences within the museums' historic
buildings. While a nominal fee applies, pre-registration is required due to limited spaces.
