As part of the ongoing Eid celebrations, several malls in the country are witnessing action-packed events. 

Shopping plazas including the City Centre, Place Vendôme, Lagoona Mall, Landmark Mall, Al Khor Mall, Hyatt Plaza, Mall of Qatar, Gulf Mall, Al Hazm, and Doha Festival City continue to host activities and shows enthralling the customers.

Many people came to the Mall of Qatar yesterday to see the spectacular Eid activities including The Outer Space Circus and shared their experience with The Peninsula. 

“I think it’s a fine choice for people like me to come here with our family and be a part of such activities,” said Christine Joseph. The show, which was nearly 15 to 20 minutes long, mesmerised the gathered crowd and attracted the public in huge numbers.

“Each time we come to Mall of Qatar, there will be something or the other (events) happening, so it’s still a desired attraction whenever you come here to shop or dine,” Joseph added.

Themed under breathtaking views seen in the universe, The Outer Space Circus portrays the scenes that are witnessed by astronauts. They include astounding performances by aerial acrobats, jugglers, and unicyclists. 

The spectacular show by the performers continued to awe-inspire the people throughout the day as Mohammed, who came to witness the event said, “It was so good and I enjoyed my time here. I and my friends love coming here due to the events happening. What better way to spend our Eid.”

The Outer Space Circus that takes place in the Mall’s Oasis staging area will be performed until April 29 at 5 pm, 6 pm, and 9 pm.

Numerous other Eid events are also occurring in various malls as part of engaging and entertaining the residents, tourists, and citizens of Qatar.

Recently, Doha Festival City (DFC) conducted Eid Al Fitr activities for the community with fun-filled activities.
