With streets, building and vehicles draped in maroon and white; public and private organisations and institutes holding celebratory events all through the previous weeks and the citizens as well as expatriates in a festive mood, Qatar is all set to celebrate the National Day with the crowning jewel of a ceremonial parade at Doha Corniche 9am Saturday.
Held under the theme ‘Ancestral Meadows: A Matter of Trust’, the occasion aims at strengthening solidarity, loyalty and pride of Qatar national identity with the values of inspiration, participation, innovation and transparency.
