At Shamat Zaroud, we are passionate about preserving and reviving the rich heritage of Qatar’s desert culture. While many are drawn to the allure of the sea, we focus on the soul of the nation—the desert. Our mission is to reintroduce Qatar’s younger generations and global visitors to the authentic Bedouin lifestyle, where every detail—from the scent of Arabic coffee to the feel of woven wool—tells a story from over 70 years ago.
We offer immersive cultural experiences that go far beyond visual displays. Guests can watch bread being baked before their eyes, taste fresh milk served in traditional ways, and enjoy hearty Bedouin meals cooked over open flames—all in a setting that echoes the timeless rhythm of desert life. From sleeping under the stars in authentic poetry tents to witnessing how marriages were celebrated in Gulf tribes, we bring the past alive through carefully curated activities and setups.
Our work is deeply rooted in Qatar’s identity. As the modern world leans toward rapid urbanization and maritime interests, we shine a spotlight on the desert’s quiet majesty. This includes camel riding, storytelling under the stars, crafting woolen heritage items, and hosting desert events that celebrate the rituals, resilience, and artistry of Bedouin people. With each experience, we reconnect people to the land, reminding them of a time when life was simpler, slower, and steeped in meaning.
Shamat Zaroud isn’t just a service—it’s a cultural mission. It’s a celebration of Qatari pride, handcrafted with care and designed to leave a lasting imprint. We don’t just preserve the past; we invite you to live it, feel it, and share in the legacy of a people who thrived in the silence of the sands.
We aspire to contribute to Qatar’s vision in the field of national heritage, reflecting our identity through our extensive experience and capabilities. We proudly participate in various national events and present contributions that truly represent our country’s heritage — both domestically and internationally
Shamat Zaroud aims to continue the legacy by empowering skilled artisans, training new generations, and ensuring that the beauty of handmade Bedouin crafts lives on. These pieces—like woolen tents, traditional seating, and desert-themed ornaments—carry a story only known to those who lived in and loved this culture.
