Doha: The Ooredoo Village, an integral part of the company’s celebrations to mark Qatar National Day, received exceptional support with over 70,000 people from across the country visiting the event and taking part in activities.
The exhibition in the Cultural Village at Katara Corniche, was part of Katara National Day events sponsored by Ooredoo.
The Ooredoo Village was open on December 18 and 19 and included activities for all ages, such as demonstrations, traditional music (Al Ardah), live cooking, technology and crafts.
As an educational point for children and expats, the company exhibited traditional swords and other items, including a ‘dala’ (traditional coffee pot) to showcase Qatar’s strong historic background. To entertain families, Ooredoo created an immersive desert experience with free camel rides and falcon handling, and a Qatari majlis serving drinks such as Arabic coffee, kahwa and tea.
To highlight Ooredoo’s contributions to the growth of the national economy, the event featured an exhibition including the company’s all SIM cards produced from the first day of operations and old models of telephones. Ooredoo also held an art display attended by artists to create a piece that captures the company. The Ooredoo Village was launched as part of the #WeAreAllQatar campaign which included an inspirational song and video for the National Day, and free local calling for Hala and Shahry Smart customers.
