Doha, Qatar: Qatar-Morocco 2024 Year of Culture yesterday announced the public opening of The Dar Al Maghreb Pavilion, a temporary cultural space in MIA Park that celebrates rich heritage and creativity of Morocco. The 1,300sqm Pavilion is inspired by Ksar Aït Benhaddou, a Unesco World Heritage site in Morocco that embodies the essence of traditional earthen construction techniques. The Pavilion is part of the Qatar-Morocco 2024 Year of Culture programmes.

Free to the public, the Dar Al Maghreb Pavilion will allow visitors to learn about Moroccan culture and heritage through informative displays and onsite cultural activations. The Pavilion will feature a gift shop and tearoom, where guests can purchase unique Moroccan creations and enjoy traditional mint tea and sweet delights.

The Pavilion is divided into four distinct thematic zones that offer a unique insight into Morocco’s history, culture, and vision for the future:

Land of Confluence: This section of the Pavilion showcases Morocco as a crossroads of continents and civilizations, where dialogue and exchange between the North and the South, the East and the West are celebrated. From the earliest human settlements to the country’s vision for a sustainable future, visitors can learn about Morocco’s commitment to sustainable development.
