The campaign embodies the values of Qatari hospitality and the spirit of unity during the holy month. Embracing the theme “Ramadan is better with you,” the initiative highlights Qatar’s rich cultural heritage through a series of events and activities.

The campaign features a rich calendar of events, including the second edition of the Throwback Food Festival, offering a unique Ramadan experience with traditional food, interactive activities, and cultural competitions.
