See, Hear, Smell, Feel and Taste Qatar

Discover Qatari Culture

When in Rome… well, you’re in Qatar now.

Whether you're only here for a year or an expat making Qatar your new home, learning about Qatari culture adds richness and meaning to your experience.

Culture shapes how we see the world and connect with others. By taking the time to understand Qatar’s history, customs, and values, you not only show respect for the local community—you also open the door to deeper connections, greater cultural appreciation, and more authentic experiences.

From traditional hospitality and family values to local art, cuisine, and Islamic heritage, Qatari culture is both rooted in tradition and forward-looking. Embracing it can help you feel a greater sense of belonging, whether you're here for a few days or a few years.

This isn’t just about learning the do’s and don’ts—it’s about engaging with the heart of the nation.

Explore, connect, and be inspired. Welcome to Qatar.

Culture shapes our perspective and influences how we interpret the world around us. Learn how to integrate Qatari culture, history, customs and values into the curriculum to foster identity and belonging. Challenge your teachers to rethink their teaching pedagogies for innovative teaching that inspires students to embrace their roots while fostering a global perspective. When in Rome… Well, you’re in Qatar now. So let’s learn what Qataris do.

Language is the vessel through which heritage and history is preserved and passed down. Language is identity, culture and the lens through which we see the world. Therefore, we must ensure that the language and worldviews we may be teaching do not overshadow or erase the languages and worldviews that are already present in our students’ funds of knowledge. Take the time to learn more about the language your students think and dream in.

Islam is Qatar’s state religion and it's important to take the initiative to understand the beliefs and practices of the local culture. By doing so, you demonstrate respect and a genuine interest in the lives of your students, their families, and the country you’ve chosen to work in. Engage directly with authentic sources to deepen your understanding. Learn what Muslims really believe and why Islam is centered in their lives to have a deeper understanding of your students.
