“The festival forms a flagship platform for livestock breeders to learn about the best practices in this profession and exchange expertise”, Khalid bin Ibrahim Al Sulaiti, General Manager of Katara said.
The festival, one of the largest in Qatar and the region specialised in the field of livestock heritage aims to reflect the authentic atmosphere of the life of the ancestors in the GCC and to educate the young generations on this significant part of their life. The festival also features a livestock auction on the best breeds of goats and sheep which also brings in more verities for breeders to improve their production.

The festival also consists of traditional handicrafts performed by professionals who explain to visitors how these handicrafts were important in the old days in a bid to revive this abandoned type of art.
Camel and horse rides and a playground are among the other features at the festival.
