Doha: The Ministry of Culture is organising this year’s ‘Al Razji’ at the Darb Al Saai from February 25 to March 3. The initiative, organised during Ramadan, is aimed at reviving Qatar’s cultural heritage and celebrating its traditions through an impactful experience in a unique Ramadan atmosphere.
According to a post on the official X account of the ministry yesterday, the seven-day event will take place from 8 pm to 1 am daily, and it will feature a variety of activities and side attractions.
Al Razji, rooted in cultural symbolism associated with reflection and heritage, offers a platform for traditional performances, including poetry recitations, storytelling sessions, and live demonstrations of time-honoured crafts.
Visitors will be presented with interactive experiences that highlight local customs.
The initiative aligns with the broader cultural agenda of Qatar, where Ramadan is observed not only as a period of fasting but also as a time for strengthening social bonds and cultural continuity.
The event is designed intentionally balance entertainment with educational enrichment, encouraging participants to engage with heritage in accessible and contemporary formats.
Families attending the event in the past have praised its atmosphere, noting that the carefully curated activities provide both recreation and reflection.
One notable feature of previous editions is the children’s segments featuring creative workshops and cultural games, which have proven particularly popular, allowing younger attendees to connect with traditions in engaging ways.
Beyond performances and exhibitions, Al Razji serves as a communal gathering space, reinforcing the social essence of Ramadan.
The event environment, characterised by traditional décor and ambient lighting, complements the spiritual tone of the month while offering a welcoming setting for shared experiences.
Cultural observers note that such initiatives play a significant role in sustaining public interest in heritage, particularly among younger generations. By integrating cultural narratives with interactive elements, the Ministry of Culture continues to modernise the presentation of traditions without diluting their authenticity.
Al Razji is expected to remain a focal point on the cultural calendar, reflecting the enduring importance of heritage-centred programming.
The event underscores the Ministry of Culture’s commitment to nurturing cultural awareness and providing inclusive spaces that celebrate identity, creativity, and community during one of the most significant periods of the year.
