Qatar's Ramadan Bazaars and Night Marketplaces

We are approaching the end of Ramadan 2022, and there's been no shortage of events for families and children so far. So far, the Holy Month has been a whirlwind of religious and cultural festivities. Apart from several hotels reopening their famed Ramadan tents, shopping has become a favorite activity.

Most malls and shops are now open until later in the day due to the modified work hours and timetables based on the Ramadan daily calendar. Ramadan's bazaars and night markets have sprung up throughout the city to provide shoppers with the ideal Ramadan shopping experience.
