Doha Festival City presents unique ‘Dates Museum’ to celebrate Ramadan

Doha: Following the pandemic-induced restrictions, various establishments resolved to propose adapted cultural activities to accompany the month of Ramadan in place of this period’s usual festivities. 

Doha Festival City (DFC) joined in on the cause, producing what it refers to as its own ‘Dates Museum’. Native to the Middle East region, dates have historically been an essential part of the Ramadan diet due to their cultural significance and health benefits. Therefore, the ‘museum’ presents the different fruit types, highlighting their nutritional values and origins — Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Jordan, Oman, and Kuwait.
