Doha is a cosmopolitan city popular around the world not only for the business benefits that one could achieve but also for its vibrant tourism. The variety of activities that one would find in this city is capable of keeping the visitor entertained for a long period of time.

You can go on a desert safari with your loved ones and enjoy a truly Arabian touch to your vacation. Also amusement parks, museums, waterfronts and much more can be found in this amazing Arabian city.

Apart from all this Qatari oriented fun filled and education activities there are many more things that a visitor could enjoy while in Doha. It is very rarely that we find a cultural event belonging to one country taking place in another that is attended by locals and tourists alike. While in Doha, if you are lucky you will have the opportunity to witness the Ferozkoh Kite Festival. The festival serves as a great platform from which to experience Afghan culture while in Qatar.

The event itself is a colourful affair. Kites specially flown down from Afghanistan cover the Qatari skies. Different shapes of kites in vibrant colours would look like flocks of giant bird. Amidst the Afghan music the sound of laughter could be heard everywhere making it apparent that everyone is enjoying every second of the event. There would be dance troops specially flown down to add more vibe to the event.

For children, this is one of the best that they would experience during a vacation. Apart from flying kites, there are more activities such as painting and storytelling to entertain them. To add to it, there are hand puppet workshops where children could go and have some extra fun. Food, is one thing that you must try out while absorb din all this fun. The Ferozkoh Kite Festival has lines of stalls which sell an assortment of food prepared according to Afghanistan recipes which are delicious and quite simply heavenly.
