The citizens and residents of Qatar are celebrating Eid Al Adha along millions of Muslims from across the globe with a message of understanding the importance of sacrifice for attaining universal peace, justice and prosperity.

On the occasion of Eid Al Adha, Amir H H Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani said in a tweet: “I congratulate citizens and residents, may Allah Almighty return it to us and to our Arab and Islamic nations fulfilling their aspirations to more peaceful and prosperous future.”

Qatar no doubt has always played its positive and constructive role in the region and beyond to bring a peaceful and prosperous future for all nations. On this Eid, Muslims from across the globe and Islamic countries need to end their differences with a new resolve to sacrifice their small, temporary interests for the greater good of maintaining peace and a long-lasting brotherhood.

At the domestic level, Qatar government has provided expatriate communities particularly migrant workers with complete facilitation so that they can celebrate Eid Al Adha with full fervor away from their homes and relatives.

The Public Relations Department of the Ministry of Interior (MoI) organises ‘Mega Eid Al Adha Cultural Celebration for Expat Communities’ at the Asian Town and Asian Accommodation City (Labour City) in Doha Industrial Area.

The Eid celebrations included musical and traditional thematic shows and cultural performances by community orchestra teams and school students, magic shows and safety and security related awareness programmes by different departments of the MoI such as Traffic, Al Fazaa Police, Civil Defence, Community Policing Department, Search and Follow up Department, Drugs Enforcement Department and Human Rights Department. 

Popular Asian orchestra teams presented musical shows in multiple languages including Hindi, Urdu, Sinhalese, Nepali, Malayalam, Tamil and Bangladeshi languages in Asian Town and Asian Accommodation City.

The celebrations are organised in various locations of Qatar by the MoI with the aim of providing a safer environment in a closer location for the members of the expatriate communities residing in Qatar including the employees and workers of the companies to celebrate Eid Al Adha and to enhance and strengthen cooperation and communication between the MoI and expatriates in Qatar by providing safety and security tips during these events.  

In the same manner, the Ministry of Municipality and Environment prepared a number of beaches across the country for visitors of all categories, including labourers, during Eid Al Adha holidays.

Al Kharij beach has been allocated to singles and labourers during the Eid holidays as part of the keenness of the entities concerned in the country on providing good services to such an important category of people and the services they offer the country.
