We put local communities, young and old, in touch with their past, reminding them of the skills, wisdom and struggles of their ancestors.
Our Cultural Heritage division covers archaeology, architectural conservation and cultural tourism. We manage, conserve, protect and enhance archaeology and archaeological practices in Qatar.
