The Museum of Islamic Art (MIA) Bazaar returns to the MIA Park starting this Friday, 24 February, offering a wealth of shopping options from delicacies, arts and crafts, unique gifts, clothing and a lot more to residents of Qatar. The bazaar will run during weekends until 18 March, every Friday from 2 pm to 10 pm and on Saturdays from 10 am to 8 pm.  

The MIA Park Bazaar is reminiscent of the Old Souq tradition, a great place to spend the weekend with family and friends, with unique local shops and the possibility of exciting finds as you stroll around the verdant surroundings.

Inviting seaside food kiosks operators

To add to the facilities available at MIA Park, IN-Q Enterprises (IN-Q), the commercial arm and wholly owned subsidiary of Qatar Museums has also launched an open call to invite food and beverage operators of seaside food kiosks.

The kiosk’s location at MIA Park is filled with family-friendly activities, immersive public art spaces and a magnificent sea view. Interested operators are encouraged to propose a seaside kiosk café concept with rapid service takeaway and simple outdoor dining options.

Participating bidding operators for the seaside food kiosks will be evaluated according to the strength of their concept in terms of, but not limited to, menu, prices and creativity. The winning bid will be based on design and setup, product quality, social media presence, and experience in running F&B outlets. An audited financial statement for the past year will also be considered as part of the deliberation.

For detailed requirements, interested parties may send their enquiries by email to [email protected] or by calling 3106 0040. Applications may be submitted at qm.org.qa on or before 12 March.

Meanwhile, eight weekends of shopping and fun gathering for the entire family await at MIA Bazaar. Be part of the vibrant community.
