Where Can I stay?
Visiting a place on your bucket list is always exciting. This is why staying in a hotel that is centrally located is so important. Hotels such as Souq Al Wakra Hotel Qatar by Tivoli offer convenience and luxury and are a great choice for those looking to explore Katana.
What is Katana?
This is a development that was spearheaded by H.H. Sheikh Hamad Bin Khalifa Al Thani, the Father Emir of Qatar. The idea was to create a community and a space which celebrated the arts across all different cultures and a haven for the creative folks.
Tracing the Name
The origins of the name “Katara” can be traced back to a map from centuries ago. This French map which depicted the coastline of the Arabian Peninsula referred to Catara as Katara, which is what it was called by the world-famous cartographer Ptolemaeus.
