Magical Festival Village in Qatar postpones opening by two weeks

A new recreational area in West Bay that was supposed to open to the public today will now launch on Feb. 15. Magical Festival Village announced the change on its Instagram page, but did not explain the reason for the delay.

The area, which is adjacent to Katara Cultural Village, will include a range of exhibitions, shows, shops, restaurants, a dancing fountain and an outdoor “ice-skating” rink.
