Katara: The Amalgamation of the Past and the Future



Katara, the cultural beacon in the city of Doha is a lighthouse of art, radiating in the Middle East through theater, literature, music, visual art, conventions and exhibitions.

The Katara Cultural Village Foundation is an exceptional project made possible by HH Sheikh Tamim Bin Hamad Al Thani, Emir of the State of Qatar.

Katara is Qatar’s ancient name that has been used for centuries in geographical and historical maps. With the name Katara, we want to signal to our rich historic culture and heritage.


"Katara was a truly unforgettable place! A lovely beach area, traditional tents, wide-ranging eateries, plenty of tea shops serving hot tea and parothas, an amphitheater and much more. This place has plenty on offer not just for tourists but also for Qatari residents."KanchM

Our vision for Katara is for it to be the Princess of all cities, the dream of the learned. We are very proud to present to the world, the futuristic designs and aspirations that Katara offers: the sprawling amphitheatre, the golf carts that transport you within the city, the beautiful art gallery.

The buildings in Katara play host to a range of cultural, literary and art societies throughout the year. Our objective is that every person that visits Katara experience culture and enlightenment. We want to facilitate and promote the potential of our visitors through the spirit of fair competition. For this, there are a number of societies in Katara that host exhibitions, seminars and competitions for both adults and children. These societies include: Qatar Photographic Society, Childhood Cultural Centre, Theaters & Dramatist, Sout Al Khaleej Broadcasting, Al-Gannas Society, etc.

You can learn more about these societies and their events here.

Katara is where the grace of the past meets the splendor of the future. Welcome to Katara.


It is the perfect get away for the weekends. The events that the organizers bring in every now and then has made this place a frequent weekend spot for our family. L’wzaar Seafood Market, the beach, and the Amphitheater and are just a few of the various attractions that await one there.  GimmyVadayattukunnel
