Qatar culture is a matter of immense pride and glory for the people of Qatar. The Qatari people are culturally very active and love to exhibit their rich cultural heritage. Since the country is Arabic in origin, there are many Arabic elements in the culture of Qatar. From the very beginning of the establishment of the country, Qatar has developed a deep traditional and cultural value. There are certain customs and traditions in Qatar, which are typical to the country and without, which the cultural heritage of Qatar seems incomplete.
Qatar culture has combined several cultural heritages in itself. There are many people who have migrated from various parts of the world and brought in their own customs and traditions to Qatar. These have been well-amalgamated with the original Arabic culture of the Qatari people. Predominantly, the country follows Islam. Almost 90% of the people belong to Islam, but they are tolerant towards other religions too. As a result, there are people who follow both Hinduism and Christianity in Qatar.
The cultural heritage of Qatar is evident in several cultural events that are put up by several organizations. The cultural events depict the various cultural aspects of the country like the customs and traditions that are typical of the country. There are traces of Bedouin culture that are found in the Qatar culture. The National Council for Culture, Arts and Heritage in Qatar is provided with the responsibility of preserving the rich cultural heritage of Qatar.
