Speaking of Doha 2010 events, the only event that represented the local heritage was the Qatar marine festival . Which have featured last week the pearl diving event

Still, how many of the local public ( whether qataris or expats) have Attended those events?
Other countries cultural weeks (in particular the Egyptian or Moroccan weeks) were a success among the local community( in particular Arab intellects)
I do agree with you that so far many elements are missing from those event as a whole. Such events takes place all year round in major arab cities like Cairo or beirut.
In my opinion, the cultural festival conducted every march the past few years were more organized & diverse culturally.
Doha 2010 seems to appeal to certain audience only , many Qatari writers have highlighted that in their columns.
Yet, none of the organizers seems to pay attention. And they keep repeating that events are stretched on yearly quarter bases, and the best cultural events are yet to come in the last quarter(OCT-DEC)
