Qatar residents are taking full advantage of the Eid Al Adha holidays this week by going out and celebrating at several venues around town.

Popular hotspots included local malls and parks, Katara Cultural Village, the Pearl-Qatar and Souq Waqif.

Many of these places offered organized entertainment in the form of shows, games for kids and even fireworks:

Katara continues its nightly firework shows – as well as “Sinbad the Sailor” performances – for another three days.

Meanwhile, family shows and activities will continue at the Pearl through Wednesday, and Souq Waqif’s fun fair will be on until Saturday, Sept. 17.

Mall shows will also continue through the weekend. For a full breakdown on what’s on and when, see our guide:
