Doha, Qatar: With a stirring performance by one of the Arab world’s leading singers and musicians, Hamza Namira, and the resonant sound of Arabic Fusha songs, Qatar Foundation’s Al Ghorrah for Literature and Arts concluded after five days of celebrating creativity and cultural heritage with the community of Qatar and its visitors.

“Al Ghorrah is an attempt to seek refuge in the cultural constant against the various existential calamities of our time,” said H E Sheikha Hind bint Hamad Al Thani, Vice Chairperson and CEO of Qatar Foundation.

Al Ghorrah was sponsored by the Social & Sport Contribution Fund (DAAM). Abdulrahman bin Abdullatif Al-Mannai, Chief Executive Officer of DAAM, said: “Al Ghorrah for Literature and Arts served as an important platform for celebrating Arab-Islamic heritage and fostering cultural understanding among diverse communities. Supporting initiatives like these aligns with DAAM’s ongoing commitment to enhancing cultural exchange and preserving cultural identity for future generations in line with Qatar National Vision 2030.”

The event highlighted the vital role of culture in providing a sense of grounding amid challenges, with creativity and heritage seen not as relics of the past but as enduring beacons of identity and resilience.
