Past Events

The Qatari family has changed in composition and size over the generations. There are several reasons that led to this change, including economic and social factors. In this lecture, held in cooperation with the Doha International Family Institute (DIFI), we will discuss the changes that have occurred in the Qatari family and their reasons.

We are sorry to inform you that due to unforeseen circumstances, the "Readings From Our Manuscript Collection: "Treatise On Classes of Al-Mujtahideen," by Ibn Kamal Pacha" event scheduled for 28 December 2020 has been canceled. We apologize for any inconvenience.

We are pleased to invite you to visit and explore Qatar National Library. Our staff are happy to give you a tour highlighting the Library’s services and resources.

Children may be at home, but that shouldn’t stop them from having hands-on fun learning. With Kitchen Science, we’ll use everyday objects from around the house to do cool science experiments. Every month, there will be a different activity highlighting a different science topic.
