The Screening Room invites global passengers to discover local storytelling, reflecting Qatar’s vibrant art and heritage. Hamad International Airport (HIA), in collaboration with Doha Film Institute (DFI), has launched the ‘Made in Qatar’ Screening Room in Concourse D. Open from 08 November to 27 December 2026, the experience presents a selection of short films by Qatari Directors and Filmmakers, offering departing and transiting passengers a window into the country’s people, traditions and contemporary perspectives. The Screening Room forms part of HIA’s collaboration with DFI, Qatar’s leading cultural organisation that presents Doha Film Festival, for which HIA serves as official “Airport Partner”. The partnership brings together DFI’s support for homegrown cinema and HIA’s global reach to give Qatar-based Filmmakers a global platform. For many international passengers, HIA is their first introduction to Qatar and, for those in transit, may be their only experience of the country. As a global gateway, the airport plays an important cultural role in presenting Qatar’s identity, heritage and creativity to the world. Through film, the Screening Room offers travellers a more personal connection with the nation and its creative community. Fatma Hassan Alremaihi, Chief Operating Officer of Doha Film Institute, said: ““Every country has voices that deserve to be heard, and cinema amplifies these voices far beyond the places where they begin. This partnership with Hamad International Airport is particularly meaningful as we are bringing Qatar’s stories into a space where the world connects not only in travel but to explore artistic masterpieces for memorable immersive experiences. We look forward to welcoming travellers from every corner of the world to discover the people, perspectives and creative spirit that shape our nation through these films.” The Screening Room offers a welcoming walk-in retreat where travellers can explore the programme at their own pace that includes award-recognised works such as Smicha by Amal Al-Muftah, winner of the Best Narrative Award in the Made in Qatar competition, and Gubgub by Nouf Al Sulaiti, whose lead performer received the Abdulaziz Jassim Award for Best Performance. The selection also features A Simple Cut by Maha Al-Jefairi, Above The Tamarind Tree by Buthyna Al-Mohammadi, Hope by Abdulla Al-Janahi, Nasser & The Ticket by Tony El Ghazal, Emsahar by Hassan Al-Jahni, The Unlucky Hamster by Abdulaziz Khashabi, Aljohara by Nora Al-Subai and Land Of Pearls by Mohammed Al Ibrahim. Together, the curated short films explore family, identity, tradition, imagination and everyday life in Qatar. By placing these filmmakers and their stories within the passenger journey, the ‘Made in Qatar’ Screening Room connects international audiences with Qatar’s creative voices while extending the reach of locally rooted cinema beyond the country. #HamadInternationalAirport #DohaFilmInstitute

Msheireb Properties, Qatar’s leading sustainable real estate developer, has won Gold in two categories at the Smart Built Environment Awards 2026, alongside an Award of Excellence from the Council on Vertical Urbanism (CVU) that placed Msheireb Downtown Doha among the finalists in its Urban Habitat category. At the Smart Built Environment Awards, Msheireb Museums took the Innovation in Architecture award, while Eng. Faisal Al Malki, Chief Operating Officer of Msheireb Properties, was named Net-Zero Champion of the Year. The win marks a second consecutive year for Msheireb Properties in the Innovation in Architecture category, after last year’s award recognised Msheireb Downtown Doha’s “Seven Principles”, the architectural language that brings the spirit of Qatari architecture together with sustainable design and modern technology. This year’s award recognises Msheireb Museums, four heritage houses in Doha’s oldest quarter: Bin Jelmood House, Company House, Mohammed Bin Jassim House, and Radwani House. Restored to international conservation standards using carefully sourced materials that preserve the spirit and building techniques of the original structures, the houses now tell Qatar’s social history from the heart of a modern city. The Net-Zero Champion of the Year award recognises Eng. Faisal Al Malki’s leadership of Msheireb Properties’ portfolio-wide decarbonisation strategy, the first of its kind at this scale in Qatar. Covering more than 100 buildings, 800 residential units, and 300 retail spaces, the strategy targets emissions across all three GHG Protocol scopes and is aligned with the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi). The awards were presented on 15 October at Palazzo Versace Dubai in a ceremony organised by Built Environment Middle East, with winners across 31 categories selected by an independent jury of industry experts. Eng. Faisal Al Malki, Chief Operating Officer of Msheireb Properties, said: “This achievement reflects the dedication of the teams who bring Msheireb Downtown Doha to life every day. Sustainability is not defined by design alone, but by the decisions, actions and continuous improvements that shape daily operations. Our decarbonization journey relies on using data to drive measurable outcomes across our buildings while working closely with our tenants. The recognition of Msheireb Museums alongside this award highlights how innovation and heritage continue to work hand in hand to define our vision for the future.” The CVU, formerly known as the Council on Tall Buildings and Urban Habitat, honoured Msheireb Downtown Doha with an Award of Excellence and shortlisted the city as one of six finalists for its Urban Habitat category award, alongside projects from the United Kingdom, Canada, Thailand, Singapore and China. The recognition took place this week at the 2026 VU Summit in London, where the city was presented to the jury. This year’s Awards of Excellence went to 73 projects, concepts and initiatives from 20 countries. #MsheirebProperties

Dr. Safwan Masri has been appointed Senior Advisor and Executive Director of Cultural Diplomacy at the Office of Her Excellency Sheikha Al Mayassa bint Hamad bin Khalifa Al Thani, Chairperson of Qatar Museums and Founder of Qatar’s cultural exchange initiative, Years of Culture. In this role, he will build on Her Excellency’s strategic vision, helping shape and advance the broader cultural diplomacy agenda and the global partnerships built through the Years of Culture programme. Drawing on more than three decades of experience in international education, institutional leadership, and public programming, he will provide strategic direction to programmes that connect Qatar with partners around the world. Qatar has long recognized that its international relationships are strengthened not only through diplomacy and trade, but also through culture. Qatar has made cultural diplomacy a pillar of its international engagement, creating platforms for Qatari and regional voices to contribute to global cultural conversations while engaging with the experiences and perspectives of people and societies around the world. In an era of uncertainty and division, these connections offer vital avenues for sustained dialogue and mutual understanding. Qatar’s investment in culture and international exchange reflects a long-term commitment to bringing people together and building relationships that endure. Dr. Masri’s portfolio will include overseeing Years of Culture and related efforts such as the Qatar-China Friendship Association and the Qatar-Africa Business Forum. Together, these initiatives engage diverse partners and communities through cultural exchange, institutional collaboration, and dialogue among cultural, academic, and business leaders. “Cultural diplomacy grows through relationships that are built with care and sustained over time,” said Dr. Masri. “I am honoured to be working with Her Excellency Sheikha Al Mayassa bint Hamad bin Khalifa Al Thani and I look forward to engaging with partners in Qatar and around the world to create new connections between academia and the arts, deepen existing partnerships, and give the work we begin together room to grow.” Dr. Masri most recently served as Dean of Georgetown University in Qatar. Previously, as Executive Vice President for Global Centers and Global Development at Columbia University, he led a network of nine centres across four continents that connected faculty, students, and partners through research and educational programmes. He also served for 13 years as Vice Dean of Columbia Business School. Beyond his university leadership roles, Dr. Masri led the establishment of King’s Academy and the Queen Rania Teacher Academy in Jordan, expanding opportunities for students and educators. His appointment brings that experience in building lasting institutional partnerships to Qatar’s cultural diplomacy agenda #YearsofCulture

Visit Qatar, in partnership with the Professional Triathletes Organisation (PTO), celebrated 50 days to go until the 2026 Qatar T100 Triathlon World Championship Final, with the local triathlon community coming together this week for the first of two free 5km community runs in Lusail. Taking place from December 10–12 in Lusail, the Qatar T100 Triathlon World Championship Final marks the culmination of the 2026 T100 Triathlon World Tour, where the women’s and men’s professional fields come together to decide the season’s world championship titles. Switzerland’s Julie Derron and New Zealand’s Hayden Wilde currently lead the women’s and men’s T100 Race to Qatar standings. Last year’s inaugural edition sold out, with more than 5,000 amateurs taking part across three days. Registration for this year’s amateur races is proving very popular, so people are encouraged to sign up now at https://t100triathlon.com/qatar/participate/ to avoid disappointment. Sam Renouf, CEO of the PTO, said: “Lusail is where this year’s T100 World Champions will be crowned, but the professional race is only part of the story. Whether it’s a first Sprint, a relay with friends or the full 100km, there’s a race for everyone, and the community runs are a great way for anyone thinking about signing up to meet the people they could be racing alongside in December.” Hosted by Qatar T100 Community Captain Dani Sposi, the first run took place in Lusail earlier this week, with the second scheduled for Wednesday, November 11. Runners will meet at 17:45 for a warm-up before splitting into pace groups for an 18:00 start. The run is free, with places capped at 50 and registration required at https://forms.gle/rHFm6VtFeQ6Yuy5L9 Everyone who takes part goes into a prize draw for one of two Kick Off Run tickets, and the plan is for the route to follow part of the 100km run course, giving runners a taste of race day. Sposi said: “Triathlon is more than a sport for me. It’s about challenging myself, inspiring others and being part of an amazing community that supports and grows together.” Among those counting down to December is Qatari triathlete Alia Al-Hamad, who will be back on the start line in Lusail. “In 2022, I discovered triathlon,” she said. “It was something completely new to me, and since I’ve always loved challenging myself, I felt drawn to give it a try. However, I had one major obstacle: I didn’t know how to swim, and I was afraid of deep water and swimming in open water. So, before I could even begin my triathlon journey, I had to overcome that fear and learn how to swim.” She took her first steps in the sport in 2023 and has since represented Qatar as the country’s first ever female triathlete. Last December she lined up at the first Qatar T100. “When I think about completing a 2,000m swim, especially considering my fear of open water and how long it took me to learn how to swim, it feels like an incredible achievement,” she said. “The experience showed me that I’m capable of much more than I sometimes give myself credit for.” Her message to anyone thinking about doing their first triathlon: “Sometimes, we underestimate what we’re capable of simply because we’ve never tried it before. You don’t have to be good at everything from the beginning; you just have to be willing to start, learn, and keep going.” The three-day programme opens on Thursday, December 10 with the 1km and 5km Kick Off Run on Lusail Boulevard, starting at 17:45 and 18:30. Friday, December 11 brings the Qatar T100 Triathlon World Championship Final and the Sprint triathlon (750m swim, 20km bike, 5km run). The open 100km (2km swim in the Arabian Gulf, 80km bike, 18km run) and the T100 Age-Group World Championships follow on Saturday, December 12. Relay options are available across both triathlon distances for the first time. Now in its second edition and held in partnership with World Triathlon, the T100 Age-Group World Championships give qualified amateurs the chance to race in their nation’s colours for a world title. Last year’s inaugural championships drew more than 250 athletes from 45 countries across 13 age groups. The event further strengthens Qatar’s position as a leading destination for international sporting events, adding another world-class competition to the country’s sporting calendar.

The all-new ET9 will make its debut, joined by the updated right-hand-drive ES GT, the brand’s first MPV Concept, the first right-hand-drive ET FL and the futuristic X-CONCEPT. Together, the models showcase EXEED’s evolving approach to premium design, flagship presence and technology. The Summit will also bring EXEED’s performance capabilities into focus at Zhejiang International Circuit. Between 2025 and 2026, the brand has conducted dynamic testing across 11 international race tracks, using these environments to validate powertrain response, chassis calibration, braking performance and safety limits. At the Track Experience Day, the ES, ET FL, RX FL and RX MY will demonstrate acceleration, handling, braking, stability and EXEED Super Intelligent Valet Parking (SIVP) technology. For the ET FL, RX FL and RX MY, the event will mark their track experience debut in front of more than 100 users and partners from global markets. Each model brings a distinct focus. The ET FL is designed around family travel, with enhanced cabin comfort and smarter interaction. The RX FL builds on the RX’s performance DNA with upgrades in design, intelligence, luxury and comfort, while the RX MY joins the experience as a flagship model adaptable to diverse scenarios. The track program will include straight-line acceleration, cornering, gymkhana challenges and circuit laps, alongside demonstrations such as brake drifting and extreme obstacle slalom. Beyond showcasing performance, the experience will give users the opportunity to provide direct feedback, helping EXEED further refine its products. Building on the 2025 Summit, which introduced new technology, products and design, this year’s event brings those themes forward through a stronger focus on user co-creation, premium design and real-world performance. “The Pulse Lives on” represents more than a theme; it reflects an ongoing relationship between EXEED and its global users, shaping the next car, the next journey and the next chapter of the brand. Customers can explore the EXEED lineup by visiting the flagship showrooms in West Walk, a symbol of sophistication and elegance.

True luxury is often found in the details. The ones that make life feel just that little bit better. In the INFINITI QX60, thoughtful technology turns into true luxury, working tirelessly in the background to make everyday drives more comfortable. Here are three features you may quickly wonder how you lived without. 1. Turn your seat into a place to unwind Zero Gravity isn’t just for outer space. Zero Gravity front seats with added massage function in the QX60 have been designed to help reduce fatigue, while providing added comfort for both the driver and front passenger. Whether it is the morning commute or the journey home after a busy day, a massage on the go is a little luxury you can enjoy every time you get behind the wheel. 2. Your audio, without interrupting theirs Sharing a car doesn’t mean everyone has to share the same experience. Individual Audio can help put an end to debates over phone calls interrupting the car playlist. This feature can direct phone calls, messages and navigation guidance through the speakers in the driver’s headrest, while music or podcasts continue playing for everyone else on the 16-speaker Klipsch Premium Audio system. That means you can follow directions without pausing in the middle of a favourite song, or take a call without taking over the entire cabin. It is a thoughtful detail that gives everyone a little more space to enjoy the journey in their own way. 3. A cabin that takes care of you Luxury isn’t only about what you can see or touch; it’s also about what you can feel. The QX60’s Advanced Climate Control System is designed to help maintain a comfortable cabin environment, while helping to collect and neutralise dirt, pollen and dust. Working quietly in the background, the system helps keep the cabin air feeling fresh. It’s an everyday luxury that’s easy to overlook, but one you’re likely to appreciate every time you step inside. Luxury made for every day The features that define luxury are the ones that integrate seamlessly into everyday life - a massage after a long day, an audio experience that feels personal, or a cabin designed to feel more pleasant from the moment you step inside. In the INFINITI QX60, these thoughtful details turn everyday journeys into something to look forward to. #INFINITI #QX60
