Doha, Qatar: Old Doha Port has announced the launch of “Move”, a first-of-its-kind sports and wellness festival aimed at promoting physical activity and health awareness within the community. Organised in collaboration with NO LIMITS, a Qatari company specialising in sports races and events, the six-day festival will be held from February 5 to 10 at Mina Park, leading up to and concluding on Qatar National Sports Day.

Inspired by the widely used Qatari expression “Tarayyad,” which refers to engaging in physical activity, Move draws from both local dialect and classical Arabic roots. The term reflects how movement is naturally embedded in daily life and reinforces the festival’s culturally grounded message of embracing a healthier, more active lifestyle. This linguistic connection adds a unique local identity to the festival while aligning with modern health and wellness values.

The festival will feature seven dedicated zones offering a diverse range of activities for all age groups. Highlights include daily panel discussions with athletes and sports professionals, fitness classes, retail spaces for sports products, healthy cafés and restaurants, a children’s activity area, and recovery and relaxation zones. A key attraction will be a running race along the Mina Corniche on Saturday, February 7, with registration available through the social media platforms of Old Doha Port and NO LIMITS.

Commenting on the initiative, Engineer Mohammed Abdulla Al Mulla, CEO of Old Doha Port, said the festival reflects the port’s commitment to promoting sport as a way of life and positioning the port as a hub for sport, health, and recreation. By launching Move ahead of National Sports Day, Old Doha Port aims to encourage broad community participation in accessible and structured wellness programmes. The festival also supports the Human Development pillar of Qatar National Vision 2030, reinforcing national efforts to promote healthier and more active lifestyles.
