We encourage them to make the most of the activities we have planned for them that highlight our work and commitment to the environment and sustainability, and also learn about our special partnership with INJAZ Qatar,” said Saleh Al Mana, Vice President and Director of Public and Government Affairs for ExxonMobil Qatar.

The full-size specification racing car is available to all visitors for an interactive and realistic racing experience and the chance to compete with family and friends.
Even tennis players come by the stand to try it out and beat each other’s scores, andthose visiting may get a chance to meet their favourite tennis stars and get a signed oversized tennis ball if they’re lucky enough to be there at the same time. As in previous years, the ever popular “ExxonMobil Minute” will feature at the 2023 tournament.
After matches, the winning player randomly serve tennis balls into the audience for lucky spectators to catch and claim a valuable prize at ExxonMobil Qatar’s stand in the Public Village.
