Doha: Qatar Museums (QM) has highlighted the importance of protecting Qatar's archaeological heritage through a dedicated awareness campaign at the S'hail 2026 exhibition, taking place from September 8-12 at Katara Cultural Village.
According to Qatar News Agency, led by QM's Archaeology and Heritage Department, the Qatar Museums pavilion [B34- B35], will invite visitors to discover the rich archaeological heritage found across the country and learn more about the collective responsibility to protect these important sites for future generations.
Informational and visual materials, alongside dedicated awareness activities, will highlight the work undertaken to document, study, and safeguard archaeological sites, while raising awareness of the actions that can put them at risk.
The campaign forms part of QM's Archaeology Department's wider efforts to safeguard Qatar's cultural heritage, preserve national identity, and protect historical sites for future generations.
QM's Director of Archaeology, Faisal Abdulla Al Naimi, emphasized the significance of the exhibition by saying, "Our participation in the S'hail Exhibition offers a valuable opportunity to engage directly with the public and raise awareness that safeguarding our heritage is a responsibility we all share."
Al Naimi further stated, "Archaeological sites are not merely witnesses to the past, they are an integral part of our national identity and collective memory, and preserving them ensures they are passed down to future generations."
