We have been following all precautionary measures put in place by the State of Qatar and World Health Organization to keep our tenants, staff and customers safe and we hope this contribution willhelp pave way for business continuity in this difficult environment.” 

He added: “At Doha Festival City, we truly consider our tenants to be our partners, and this has never been more relevant than now as we face this challenging time together. We believe it is our responsibility to support them as much as we can as we face a future of uncertainty. All tenants will be contacted in the coming days by dedicated mall teams to discuss and outline process for relief.”
