Doha: Qatar Museums has announced a wide-ranging program of cultural and community events to mark the holy month of Ramadan, featuring heritage workshops, photography walks, family activities and wellness initiatives across multiple venues in Doha.

In a statement on Thursday, the organisation said the line-up blends tradition, creativity and wellbeing, with activities aimed at engaging all age groups throughout the month.

The Tasweer Photo Festival will host a series of Ramadan photowalks, including the "Colours of Garangao" event at Bayt Al Wakrah on March 3. Photographers will capture children in traditional dress, festive decorations and the vibrant atmosphere of Garangao celebrations.

A second photowalk, led by photographer Hamad Al Mohannadi, will take place on March 13 along Lusail Boulevard, documenting a Ramadan car parade and the firing of the sunset cannon marking the breaking of the fast.

The 3-2-1 Qatar Olympic and Sports Museum will stage "Ramadan Wellness" on March 2 and 4, offering visitors nutrition advice, light movement activities and live cooking demonstrations designed to encourage healthy habits during the fasting month.
