What to Expect at the Exhibition

This year marks the fourth edition of the exhibition, and it’s sticking to what works: quality, variety, and atmosphere.

Visitors can browse and buy a wide selection of dates, including popular favorites like Medjool, Khudri, Halawy, and more. It’s a chance to compare flavors, textures, and origins—all in one place.

Opening Times and Dates

The exhibition runs daily until February 16, 2026, with two visiting windows each day:

  • 9:00 am to 12:00 pm

  • 4:00 pm to 9:00 pm

That split schedule makes it easy to drop by before work, after errands, or during an evening stroll through Souq Waqif.

A Crowd Favorite Event

Past editions have been a hit with both locals and tourists, turning the exhibition into a must-visit stop during its run. Between the range of dates on offer and the heritage setting, it’s become a low-key crowd favorite on Qatar’s events calendar.
