Everything You Need to Know About Buying Adahi Animals in Qatar This Eid

Everything You Need to Know About Buying Adahi Animals in Qatar This Eid

Qatar’s Ministry of Commerce and Industry has launched the National Adahi Animal Initiative 2026. Sheep available at QAR 1,000 across 6 locations and via the Widam app until May 30. Full guide inside.

Eid Al Adha is days away, and if you are a Qatari citizen looking to get your Adahi animal sorted, Qatar’s government has made it easier and more affordable than ever.

The Ministry of Commerce and Industry, in coordination with the Ministry of Municipality, officially launched the National Initiative to Encourage Local Production and Support Adahi Animals for 1447 AH today, May 21, 2026. The sale runs until the fourth day of Tashreeq, which falls on May 30, 2026.

Here is everything you need to know before you head out or log on.

What Is the Adahi Initiative?

Every year before Eid Al Adha, the Qatari government steps in to make sure citizens can access quality sacrificial animals at fair, subsidized prices. This initiative supports local sheep farmers while also keeping costs manageable for families.

Eid Al Adha, known as the Festival of Sacrifice, commemorates Prophet Ibrahim’s willingness to sacrifice his son in obedience to Allah’s command. Muslims who can afford it perform Qurbani, the ritual sacrifice of an animal such as a sheep, goat, or cow, with the meat divided into three parts: one for the family, one for relatives and friends, and one for those in need.

Eid Al Adha 2026 in Qatar is expected to fall on May 27, corresponding to 10 Dhul Hijjah 1447 in the Islamic calendar.

The Price: What Will It Cost You?

Both locally bred sheep and imported sheep are priced at QAR 1,000 each under this initiative.

On top of that, slaughtering, cutting, packaging, and loading fees come to a flat QAR 50, broken down as:

  • QAR 16 for slaughtering, cutting, and packaging
  • QAR 34 for loading

These are paid through separate vouchers at the time of collection.

Who Can Buy?

This initiative is open to Qatari citizens only, with two conditions:

  • One Adahi animal per Qatari ID card
  • The buyer must be at least 18 years old

Where to Get Your Adahi Animal

The Ministry of Municipality coordinated with Widam Food Company and the Ministry of Commerce and Industry within the framework of an initiative to encourage local sheep production, purchasing breeders’ produce at competitive prices and supporting participants with free concentrated feed.

Adahi animals are available at Widam Food Company’s livestock yards across six locations:

  • Al Shamal
  • Al Khor
  • Umm Salal
  • Al Wakrah
  • Al Shahaniya
  • Abu Nakhla

Can’t make it in person? You can also order directly through the Widam Food Company mobile application with no queues and no stress.

Don’t Need It Slaughtered Right Away?

Here is a detail that many people miss. If you are not ready to slaughter immediately, you have time. Citizens who purchase their Adahi animal under this initiative can use the slaughtering, cutting, and packaging voucher any time up until the end of December 2026.

That gives you flexibility if you are traveling for Eid, hosting a later gathering, or simply want to plan around your schedule.

Why This Initiative Matters

Qatar’s push to support local production is not just about affordability. The Ministry explained that it prepared early for the season by implementing a comprehensive operational plan aimed at ensuring the availability of sacrificial animals in sufficient quantities, enhancing the smooth flow of supply, and balancing supply and demand.

The Ministry of Municipality affirmed that the current stock of local sheep, along with the quantities supplied and imported according to the approved plan for the season, is sufficient to cover market needs during Eid Al Adha.

This means no shortages, no inflated prices from private sellers, and no last-minute scramble.

HH the Amir Visits 35th Doha International Book Fair

HH the Amir Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al-Thani visited Thursday morning the Doha International Book Fair in its 35th edition, held at the Doha Exhibition and Convention Center (DECC).

At the outset of the tour, HH the Amir explored “This is Qatar” book project, which was launched as the Guest of Honor initiative for this year’s edition, and was presented with the new prominent publications, titles, and participating publishing houses from Qatar and various Arab and foreign countries.

HH the Amir was briefed on the accompanying cultural programs and events, as well as the cultural and knowledge-based initiatives presented by the exhibition. His Highness also visited the “Doha Children’s Zone” activities, which featured educational and interactive programs, and met with young writers.

I was struck by what I witnessed during my tour today through the halls of the Doha International Book Fair 2026—the diversity and richness of knowledge on display, which embodies the pivotal role of culture in supporting our country’s efforts to entrench awareness of the importance of the Arabic language and identity, and the role of reading in the renaissance of nations and the elevation of societies. My deepest thanks to those organizing the fair.

Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani, Amir of the State of Qatar

During the tour, HH the Amir was accompanied by HE Chief of the Amiri Diwan Abdullah bin Mohammed Al Khulaifi and HE Minister of Culture Sheikh Abdulrahman bin Hamad Al-Thani, along with a number of Their Excellencies ministers and senior officials. (QNA)

Friday sells out first. Friday 29 May brunch slots at Raffles, Fairmont, and the Waldorf will go fast. WhatsApp is often quicker than calling during Eid week.

Enhanced packages are usually worth it. At most venues the enhanced tier adds upgraded beverages and sometimes a wider menu selection. For a full three-hour brunch, the extra QAR 100 is worth it.

Check child age brackets. Four Seasons Hotel Doha prices children 5 to 11 years. Sheraton prices children 6 to 12 years. Always confirm when booking.

Smart casual is the minimum. Eid weekend means everyone is dressed up. Plan your outfit ahead.

Arrive 15 minutes early. Valet at Fairmont, Waldorf, and Raffles is smooth. Pearl venues on Friday can be tighter for parking.

Flag dietary needs at booking. Most venues accommodate halal-only, vegetarian, and gluten-free requests if mentioned in advance.

Qatar Makes History at Le Mans 2026: Team Qatar Unveils Driver Line Up & New Livery

Team Qatar will make its debut at the iconic 24 Hours of Le Mans from 10 to 14 June, marking a landmark moment for Qatari motorsport as the nation takes its place on the grid of one of the world’s most prestigious and demanding races.

The programme is delivered through a strategic partnership between Qatar Motor and Motorcycle Federation (QMMF) and Iron Lynx, alongside a collaboration with Mercedes-AMG Motorsport, with Team Qatar set to compete in the LMGT3 category aboard the Mercedes-AMG Motorsport LMGT3.

Taking place from 13 to 14 June at Circuit de la Sarthe in Le Mans, France, the 24 Hours of Le Mans stands as the pinnacle event of endurance racing and the centerpiece of the FIA World Endurance Championship calendar. First held in 1923, the race tests drivers, teams, and manufacturers across an uninterrupted 24 hour contest where speed, reliability, strategy, and endurance determine success.

Team Qatar will arrive at Le Mans following a rapid rise in international endurance racing competition. In a short period, the programme has established itself through a series of standout performances across leading endurance championships and events.

Recent milestones include securing the 2025 24H Series Overall championship with victories in the 992 AM Drivers Championship, 992 AM Teams Championship and Overall 992 Teams Championship. Team Qatar also claimed victory in the 24 Hours of Dubai in the 992 AM category and continued its momentum into 2026 with category wins at the 6 Hours of Abu Dhabi and the 12 Hours of Mugello.

The team has also delivered strong performances in the European Le Mans Series campaign with pole positions in Barcelona and Paul Ricard in the LMGT3 category. At the season opener in Barcelona, Abdulla Al Khelaifi earned Most Valuable Driver honours after leading the race for more than seventy percent of the event before Team Qatar ultimately secured fourth position.

The Team Qatar lineup for Le Mans brings together Qatari driver Abdulla Al Khelaifi alongside Julian Hanses and Giuliano Alesi, combining international endurance racing experience with local talent on motorsport’s biggest stage.


Abdulrahman bin Abdullatif Al Mannai, President of Qatar Motor and Motorcycle Federation (QMMF) and Lusail International Circuit (LIC), said:

“Team Qatar’s participation in the 24 Hours of Le Mans is an important moment for Qatari motorsport and reflects the country’s growing presence on the international stage. The achievements and the participation of Team Qatar represents the fruition of the long term investment and vision of QMMF, and its continuous goal to inspire future generations, and creating a pathway for them to compete at the highest level of motorsport. Through our partnership with Iron Lynx and collaboration with Mercedes-AMG Motorsport, we are creating opportunities to learn, grow, and establish a stronger foundation for Qatar in global endurance racing. We are proud to see Team Qatar compete at one of motorsport’s most iconic events and look forward to what this journey can achieve.”

Abdulrahman bin Abdullatif Al Mannai, President of Qatar Motor and Motorcycle Federation (QMMF) and Lusail International Circuit (LIC)

Andrea Piccini, Iron Lynx Team Principal and CEO, said:

“We are proud to have joined forces with QMMF, especially for this landmark moment, the first entry in the world’s most legendary race. Working with such a brilliant and dynamic federation is an important step for our team and we really appreciate the trust that they put into us.” He also added, “The QMMF achieved outstanding results in a really short time and we will give our maximum effort to help it continue its rise. We are confident in the potential of our lineup for this race and we will give our one hundred percent to deliver the best results possible.”

Andrea Piccini, Iron Lynx Team Principal and CEO

Abdulla Al Khelaifi said:

“For all of us at Team Qatar, competing at Le Mans is a proud and exciting moment. This race represents the highest level of endurance racing and being part of it is an incredible opportunity for our team. We arrive with great respect for the challenge ahead and with a strong desire to learn from the experience, continue developing as a team, and represent Qatar in the best possible way. We are excited for the opportunity ahead and hope to make our mark on one of the biggest stages in motorsport.”

There are car shows, and then there is this. Astro Automotive Services is opening the doors to Astroworld Vol.001, its first ever public automotive exhibition, and it is unlike anything Doha has seen before. Think immersive spaces, stunning machines, specialty coffee, and a story that started in a single garage shed in Al Wakrah.

What Is Astroworld Vol.001?

Astroworld Vol.001 is an immersive automotive exhibition by Astro Automotive Services, a Qatari-owned members club built for people who see their cars as more than just machines.

The Story Behind Astro

Astro was born in a single car garage in Al Wakrah. What started as a passion project around one Porsche 911 GT3 RS grew into something much bigger. Drive it, detail it, store it, repeat. That ritual became a community, the community needed a home, and that home became Astro Home Base.

A 4,000 sqm underground facility in Al Bidda, built by enthusiasts, for enthusiasts. Founded in 2020, Astro Automotive Services now serves members around the clock, with specialists trained across every high-end and classic marque you can think of.

Astroworld Vol.001 is the first time the public gets to step inside that world.

Why You Should Go

If you love cars, this is a must. If you are just looking for something genuinely different to do in Doha this May or June, this is still a must. Cars, coffee, culture, and a space that has real personality behind it. Not a corporate showcase. Not a mall pop-up. Something that actually means something.

Entry is QAR 75 and includes a coffee, which makes sense given that Astro Home Base is also home to Roots, their in-house specialty coffee roaster you may recognise from the race livery.

FAQs

What is Astroworld Vol.001? It is an immersive automotive exhibition by Astro Automotive Services held at their Al Bidda base in Doha, open to the public from May 17 to June 17, 2026.

How much are tickets for Astroworld Vol.001? Entry is QAR 75 and includes a coffee.

Who is Astro Automotive Services? A Qatari-owned automotive members club founded in 2020, headquartered at a 4,000 sqm facility in Al Bidda, specialising in high-end and classic cars.

Can anyone attend Astroworld Vol.001? Yes. It is open to the public.
