Doha: Visitors to Darb Al Saai in Doha are being offered a window into Qatar's maritime past through a series of specialized sea-heritage museums displaying traditional tools, boats, and pearl-diving equipment. Among the highlights is the Al Qallaf Museum, dedicated to traditional boat-building, featuring models of historic vessels, once used for fishing, trade, and pearl diving. Exhibits also include marine life native to the region and species now endangered.

According to Qatar News Agency, the maritime heritage museum is also taking part, presenting visual and model-based displays of traditional fishing methods, pearl diving, and tools used by sailors, alongside information on local oyster beds. Cultural events have accompanied the exhibitions, including poetry evenings celebrating national identity, with performances by winners of the Nabati poetry competition.

The festival also hosts a blood-donation campaign led by Hamad Medical Corporation, drawing strong public participation and promoting social solidarity. Darb Al Saai events continue until Saturday, welcoming visitors daily from 3pm to 11pm as part of Qatar's National Day celebrations.
