The Museum of Islamic Art (MIA) Bazaar returns on 31 October 2025 with an exciting new edition designed to offer both vendors and visitors an even more enjoyable experience than before. This year’s bazaar features several enhancements that promise a more dynamic and engaging atmosphere for all.
Set in Zone 1 of MIA Park, adjacent to the Dar Al Maghrib Pavilion, the bazaar enjoys a prime waterfront location that perfectly frames the Museum of Islamic Art’s iconic architecture. The picturesque setting offers the ideal backdrop for a weekend of family outings and relaxation under Doha’s pleasant winter skies.
A celebration of local creativity and entrepreneurship, the MIA Bazaar brings together a rich mix of vendors showcasing handmade crafts, artwork, fashion, jewellery, and other unique creations. Guests can also savour an array of international delicacies and sweets, making it a feast for both the eyes and the palate. The lively open-air setting and scenic views of Doha’s skyline make the bazaar a beloved destination for residents and visitors alike.
The bazaar will be open every Friday from 4:00 p.m. to 10:00 p.m. and every Saturday from 2:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m., offering an inviting weekend retreat for the community to shop, dine, and enjoy the outdoors.
MIA Bazaar is a celebration of Doha’s cultural diversity and community spirit—a place where creativity thrives amid the open-air beauty of MIA Park.
