Katara new Fath Al Khair Cruise to promote World Cup

The Cultural Village Foundation (Katara) on Wednesday announced the launch of the fifth Fath Al Khair Cruise on July 4, as part of a cruise starting from Malta and including ports in Italy, France and Spain.

Director-General of the Cultural Village Foundation Dr Khalid bin Ibrahim Al Sulaiti said that the fifth Fath Al Khair Cruise comes within the framework of Katara’s continuous efforts in promoting cultural exchanges between Qatar and the Arab Gulf region on one hand, and the Mediterranean countries on the other.

This is to raise awareness on the Qatari heritage - especially the maritime culture, as a bridge of communication between peoples.

The cruise also aims to promote the FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022, present Doha’s preparation to host this championship to the audience from European countries, as well as the huge sports facilities the Qatar has built for this global championship.
