Doha: The Museum of Islamic Art (MIA), in cooperation with the Internal Security Force (Lekhwiya), will organise a summer camp for children from August 2 to 13.
Targeting Qatari boys and girls between the ages of 9 and 13, the camp will introduce them to the Islamic civilization through a programme that combines art, science, and innovation.
