This Ramadan, City Center Doha becomes the ultimate one-stop destination, providing more value for shoppers as well as activities and attractions for the whole family.
Doha - This year, as the crescent moon shines on the holy month, City Center Doha will welcome the residents and citizens of Qatar with festive lights spilling out from its walkways and corridors, into the lives of all visitors.
Last year's Ramadan Festival promotion at City Center Doha was an outstanding success and this year it will be an even bigger attraction for everyone in Qatar. The theme and ambience of the City Center in 2008 will embody the spirit of Ramadan and will strive to promote personal enlightenment and family togetherness.
The lighting is being organized by an indoor lighting production German company which has over two decades of experience in space enhancement, creating realistic sets and multimedia special effects.
For thirty days, customers visiting City Center Doha will be enthralled by a wide variety of entertainment activities which will include Mulawi dance, Puppet shows, Henna, Live Oud and Ramadan music. The children will also enjoy a towering castle of about 40 feet high with animated characters around it. The entire City Center will be decorated with great splendor to match the elegance of the castle.
As in previous years, City Center Doha will also host Garangao for the children, a Qatari tradition going back many generations, which is one of the most anticipated aspects of Ramadan for children of all ages. Children are invited to participate in the Garangao festivities and will receive gift bags during the ceremony. Throughout the month Qatar Television will also broadcast coverage of the various events at City Center Doha.
Ramadan is an important period for City Center Doha. It is traditionally a time of reflection and self purification, but in the eyes of many it is also a time for building stronger family and personal ties as they spend more time together and share experiences. This is the focus all year round at City Center Doha and during Ramadan it will take on new meaning.
The City Center is not just a shopping mall but also center for entertainment that houses an indoor theme park, coffee shops, movie halls and restaurants and sports centers. It serves as a meeting place for many families, both Qataris and expatriates.
Mr. Majd Machfej, Center Manager of City Center Doha says: "We are proud of having a collection of great international and local brands at City Center. We are however also mindful of how the consumer thinks and it is important to ensure a comprehensive and integrated experience for everyone. Families of all sizes, for example, want to enjoy the experience together. That means we have to provide an experience and not just the ambience. This Ramadan at City Center Doha promises to be an unforgettable experience for all its visitors."
City Center Doha is home to an eclectic collection of lifestyle brands and the largest hypermarket in Qatar. It also houses one of the largest multi-screen cinema complexes in Doha. This wide array of consumer attractions is complemented by regular themed events and a family-oriented Friday program throughout the year, aimed to help families gather, play and shop - all under one roof.
