Participating hotels are also introducing “Kids Eat Free” offers, providing complimentary breakfast, lunch, and dinner for children at hotel restaurants.
Family Attractions and Tours Included
The Visit Qatar Kids Go Free campaign extends beyond hotels to include a wide range of tourism and leisure activities.
Families can access selected desert safaris, marine experiences, and cultural tours through participating partners under the “Kids Explore Free” initiative.
The campaign also includes offers at theme parks, waterparks, museums, and entertainment venues, including:
- Buy two, get one free child ticket offers
- Buy one, get one free promotions
- Complimentary child tickets with adult purchases
These promotions aim to create more value-driven family experiences during the summer season.
Dining and Entertainment Benefits Across Qatar
Dining offers under the Visit Qatar Kids Go Free campaign are available at participating restaurants and food outlets across the destination.
Children can dine free from kids’ menus when accompanied by paying adults, subject to venue-specific terms.
Additional prepaid credit bundles at selected venues will also provide bonus spending credits redeemable across retail, dining, and leisure activities.
Visit Qatar Wallet Enhances Visitor Experience

Qatar Expands Summer Tourism Strategy
The launch of the Visit Qatar Kids Go Free campaign reflects Qatar’s broader tourism strategy to position the country as a year-round destination.
While the campaign strongly targets families, the summer programme also includes experiences for couples and groups, ranging from beach clubs and fine dining to leisure and lifestyle activities.
The initiative highlights Qatar’s growing focus on experiential tourism and destination-wide engagement.
Conclusion
