Qatar Tourism Circular No. 1/2024

Extension of operating hours for commercial complexes during the Asia Cup Championship

Dear respected Managers and Owners of Commercial Complexes,

As State of Qatar is hosting the 2024 Asia Cup from January 12th, 2024 to February 10th, 2024, and in light of the expected influx of tourists and fans during this period, we kindly request all restaurants and retail stores to extend their operating hours during this period as follows:

  • Restaurants and coffee shops should extend their operating hours until 1 AM.

  • Retail stores should extend their operating hours until midnight

This measure will contribute to meeting the needs of visitors and providing them with an enjoyable experience during their stay in Qatar.

Accordingly, we kindly request your cooperation in taking the necessary steps to implement this extension during the 2024 Asia Cup period.

Thank you for your continuous cooperation.
