Doha, Qatar: On the occasion of the upcoming Eid Al Adha, Qatar Central Bank (QCB) announced it was expanding the 'Eidiah ATM' service.

The Eidiah ATM service allows users to withdraw Qatari riyals in QR5, QR10, and QR50-100 denominations.

The service will be available starting June 22 and ATMs have been placed at 10 different locations: Place Vandome Mall, Al Mirqab Mall, Mall of Qatar, Al Wakrah Old Souq, Doha Festival City, Al Hazm Mall, Al Khor Mall, Al Meera (Thumama and Muaither) and Doha West Walk.  

Last April, QCB launched the Eidiah ATM service on the occasion of Eid Al Fitr in an effort to revive Qatari culture and traditions, particularly the traditional practice of Eidi, which is usually money or gift, given to children.
