Katara Cultural Village Beach
Katara Traditional Dhow Festival
Dates to be announced
Held along Katara's beach, this festival lines up traditional dhow races against a working display of the crafts that used to define the coastline — pearl diving demonstrations, rope and net work, and boatbuilders showing the joinery techniques by hand. Quieter and more hands-on than the bigger citywide events.
