The Sealine Camp organised by the Ministry of Culture, Arts and Heritage (MCAH) continued for the second day with a large number of visitors, including children and youth, thronging the venue yesterday.
“Talking of youth these days has a great importance because we are living at a pivotal stage in our Arab history where the power of youth is taking the lead in building society,” HE the Minister of Culture, Arts and Heritage Dr Hamad bin Abdulaziz al-Kuwari pointed out.
Children were seen enjoying a variety of activities with the performers of the theatrical troupes actively engaging them in the show with competitions and offering prizes to the winners.
For those who preferred to enjoy a relaxed atmosphere, the traditional folk café made up of dry palm fronds and leaves offered them strong flavour of Arabic coffee.
Folk sword dance with its traditional Gulf rhythms was appealing to those willing to sway as the watched performers giving life to past traditions.
Visitors were able to watch craftsmen as they made samples of what used to be the hub of life in the country. They were mainly making model fishing trawlers, baskets of palm fronds and bird traps used in hunting.
Falconers with their prized birds had their special traditional Arabic tent, where they were very willing to inform visitors on related issues of hunting with falcons. Visitors could also pose with falcons on their hands for photos.
Short rides on horses were also available. Some preferred only to mount a horse for a photo. However, for children pony ride was a major attraction.
Looking up, one could see a motorised glider hovering around the venue.
Special Qatari food items could be enjoyed hot and fresh with some women displaying the preparation of particular dishes on demand.
Girls and young women had their hands painted with henna, showing off beautiful and exquisite designs.
The camp’s activities were not limited to showing visitors glimpses from the past.
The thrill of the loud humming engines of wireless remote controlled mini-cars could be felt with every contestant getting ready as he was called on for his turn to give the best expected from him with his car. Amateur painters were able to try their hand at a big mural in a collaborative spirit as all were painting simultaneously.
Children who did not prefer to sit on for the shows or wait for a pony ride could exhaust their energy at the latex park bouncers.
The activities are scheduled to conclude on February 24.
