These are the last murals from Old Doha Port (Mina District), which were painted for the 5th "World Wide Walls International Mural Festival" in Nov/Dec 2023.

Cultural Pattern by Lithuanian artist Ettoja, with a fusion of motifs from Lithuania and Qatar blending in a frame of lines, celebrating the rich heritage of both countries in a tapestry of unity and diversity in this abstract and geometric mural.

                                                  Al-fereej - An art installation by Bachir Mohamad with bird cages, clouds and birds painted on tree branches. The cats sculptures highlight the overlooked aspect of Qatar's landscape - the stray cats. The mural pays homage to the stray cats and the roles they play in the daily lives of the community.

At Box Park - just before you reach Old Doha Port - where containers were repurposed into colourful food and shopping outlets.

The following two murals are from Katara Cultural Village (the one with all those shop-window murals - I thought I had posted them all!).

Birds of a feather flock together - by Californian artist Jason Keam, painted in 2021.

From the artists' Instagram post - the story of a falcon flying around and sharing the colourful experiences of Qatar with the bald eagle during the Qatar/USA festival.

Painted by Dimitrije Bugarski, a Serbia artist who is based in Doha. He is an architect by profession, but now pursuing his childhood dream of painting murals.

He has painted a few murals in Doha (he has a famous one at the Fire Station Museum, which I'll post in the upcoming weeks).

This mural is a tribute to the Qatari artist Wafa Al Hamad, who died in February 2012, where he recreated her paintings "A dream on the seabed" on both side of Building 36 - an ice-cream shop where we stopped for ice-creams.
