Doha: The various cultural and artistic events accompanying the ongoing 11-day Katara International Arabian Horse Festival (KIAHF-2023) continue to regale visitors to the Cultural Village Katara.

Besides, the many events being held on the sidelines of KIAHF-2023, Katara has also put up a lane of floral delight with 15 florists having put up attractive displays of roses and other decorative flowers through the street near the Katara Amphitheater and leading to the main arena of the Katara International Arabian Horse Festival.

Two outlets of these also have perfumes on offer, extracted from natural roses with wafting fragrance attracting visitors of all ages and groups.

The flower shops, which take place on Ibn Al Rayeb Cultural Street in Katara, compete in providing everything related to the world of flower arrangements with high artistic and aesthetic touches with various charming colours, beauty and attractiveness.

KIAHF organising committee has also prepared many artistic segments for visitors to enjoy at the weekend during the prestigious KIAHF Title Show, such as watching giant puppet shows and acrobatics that take many forms of garden roses in a scene that gives the audience more joy. There is also a segment for live and direct drawing and colouring. It has been specially prepared for children with the aim of creating an atmosphere of entertainment and pleasure and introducing them to various types of roses through the various drawings on the walls of the wooden house set up by the organizing committee.

The event (The Roses) is also full of an artistic paragraph that mixes music and singing. A singer and a player on the Oud instrument perform and sing songs that are famous in our Arab heritage and reveal the amazing beauty of flowers and roses. 

Among the other many activities is the pavilion that displays approximately 28 books on roses and the art of cultivating and gardening, and the aesthetic of roses and creative effects.
