4 Things To Do In Doha This Weekend (September 24-26)

Make the most out of this weekend in Doha by checking below our recommendations.

1. Are you looking to update your athletic wardrobe? Sports Corner Qatar is running a special promotion on selected items until October 2. Our personal favorites are the Adidas shoes, which can be found with a 50% discount!

2. The sports enthusiasts will be thrilled to know that 27 Olympic medallists will star at the Wanda Doha Diamond League on Friday, September 25, 2020.

Ten Olympic medallists from Rio 2016 and 17 World Championship medallists from Doha 2019 will compete in sprint hurdles, long jump, and pole vault. However, due to Covid-19, the 2020 Wanda Doha Diamond League will not form a structured series of events leading to a final, and athletes will not earn Diamond League points this season.

A total of six meetings is scheduled for September 25, at Qatar Sports Club. The competition will take place without an audience, in compliance with Qatar’s precautionary measures, but you can stay up-to-date here or on Al Kass Instagram account.

3. Did you know that meditation can decrease stress and improve your concentration? Join a 3-hour meditation group on Friday, September 25, via Zoom delivered to you by meetup.com. For more information, check this link: https://www.meetup.com/Qatar-Meditation-group/events/gmcjxrybcmbgc/.

4. Are you interested in learning Arabic? We think it’s a great idea and also on our list! Doha Institute for Graduate Studies offers courses in Arabic language at different levels following the guidelines of the American Council on the Teaching of Foreign Languages Proficiency Guidelines (ACTFL) and the Common European Framework for Languages (CEFR).

One more suggestion is the Islamic Cultural Centre, also known as Fanar. This is a great place to learn Arabic in Doha, from the basic alphabets to reading and writing.
