Things to do this Weekend in Doha (03 - 05 September 2026)

Another weekend is here, and Doha has something a little different lined up this time. Fancy testing your strategy skills? There's a beginners chess competition waiting for you. Curious about finance and AI? A brand-new skills session has you covered. If art and culture are more your speed, a handful of exhibitions this week dive into heritage, identity, and photography in ways that are genuinely worth exploring. And if you're after something a little more adventurous, sunset kayaking at The Pearl is calling your name. Add in a trade fair and a fashion exhibition for some retail therapy, and this weekend's got a great mix waiting to be discovered.

It might be a quieter week on the surface, but there's plenty of good stuff hiding in the details. Check out this weekend's events below and see what catches your eye.
