DFC to host community-focused activities in celebration of Qatar National Day
In celebration of this year’s Qatar National Day, Doha Festival City (DFC) had announced the launch of fun and engaging activities for families and shoppers from December 14 till 18, between 2 pm and 10 pm.
To mark this special occasion, messages of gratitude will be placed throughout the Mall, while shoppers will get the opportunity to participate in a series of unique festivities and enjoy the celebratory atmosphere of the Mall.
A giant declaration of love for Qatar will be displayed at the Atrium Node on the ground floor through a 3D ‘I Love Qatar’ interactive display, available for guests to take pictures whilst enjoying the art piece and relishing in memorable moments.
Mall visitors are also encouraged to share their appreciation for Qatar by placing messages on their ‘Message Wall’, which is installed at the Market Corridor on the ground floor.
To limit the touching of surfaces and provide a contactless and safe experience, DFC will invite Qatar residents to share their congratulations messages and wishes on the Mall’s website.
Show your love for the country. 🇶🇦 Share your National Day wishes with us and we will publish it on our Message Wall at the Marketplace Corridor, Ground Floor.#QND2020 #QNDatFestivalCity

In an effort to provide engaging experiences for their customers, DFC will also feature an augmented reality ‘Selfie Mirror’, placed at the Centre Court on the first floor on 14, 15, and 16 December.
The installation composed of a photo booth with a sensor placed on top of the screen will allow guests to take pictures automatically with no touching involved and in line with the safety measures implemented by the Mall.
To give a taste of Qatar’s unique culture, participants will also be offered the opportunity to try traditional Qatari attire for their photos and change the background virtually by waving with their hands from afar.
Guests’ photos will be shared with them via email, and the best picture will enjoy an Apple iPhone 12 prize from the Mall, which will be announced on the Doha Festival City Instagram page on 18th December 2020.
Mall visitors can also collect miniature Qatari National Flags which will be available at DFC’s entrances and customer service desks throughout the five-day festival.
To offer a truly festive atmosphere, the Mall will be decorated with Qatar flags throughout the nodes, along with hanging banners and special lighting; guests will also enjoy special décor lighting and 3D animated projections on the Mall’s entrance façade as well as Oryx shape installations.
DFC will be following stringent safety protocols during this period to ensure the safety of all guests and visitors, including Ehteraz and temperature checkpoints, installation of social distancing stickers, limitation of seating and dining spaces, and much more.
Doha Festival City opening hours are Saturday to Wednesday from 10 am to 10 pm, and Thursday to Friday from 10 am to 11 pm. Children of all ages are now allowed to enter the mall.
