The brand tends to promote the creativity and innovation of Arab and international artists through contemporary art in all its forms.

Qatar is not limited to art. You can also go shopping at Souq Waqif or relax on the magnificent Sealine Beach Resort, a beach located 55 km from Doha. You can relax there and even sleep in the hotel. The beaches, in general, are accessible by 4×4, an unforgettable family adventure. For those who prefer organized stays, there is the Arabian Adventures Day Tours. Camel rides and picnics in the desert are on the program!

Inside, comfort is obviously omnipresent and the equipment is very numerous. Some establishments have, for example, recreated huge decors such as the Grand Canal in Venice…
