Tweet the Falcons
Join us for the second Doha Tweetup this month! We're going to peek into Qatari culture and tradition, with a highlight on the role of falcons!
The event will be hosted by Katara at their Al Gannas Falconry, an amazing building in the Katara Cultural Village.
We are expecting a real adventure with the falcons - you will be able to learn more about the culture around falcons and falconry from a few falcon owners, and best of all, take pics up close with the graceful birds.

Sharing Tweetup
The New Year begins with us refreshing ourselves and focusing on the essentials of what DohaTweetups is all about. Community Tie-Ups.
The Community at large needs networking and sharing as a reason to interact and keep sessions interesting. We are bringing both aspects together with our next event at The Pearl Qatar:

And the breeze blew
The venue for this #twtupgames was at at the Arab Games Fanzone located in Aspire Park setup
by our partners for the event Qtel.
This event saw us returning to the great outdoors and making the most of the weather.
Usually at a #dohatweetup people network by sitting together but this time it was different. Not only did they network they also achieved team-building through competing together in teams for completing the task lists handed to them. ( Dear corporates, next time, don’t sign your employees for those expensive professional courses for executives, just send them to
our tweetup).
We had walk-in attendees too and as generous hearted as we are, they were also allowed to participate
in the competition and some of them did pretty well too. Even towards the end of the tweetup
we had people coming in wanting to participate in the activities.
The top two teams went away with prizes by Qtel, Ipods for the first and second place winners.
Special thanks to Shiva and Fatma from Qtel for their support for this and looking forward for future
events with them.
Ebaa & Reem are the newest members in our team. Do welcome them in.
See you at the next one!
