Available to watch on Visit Qatar, the episodes demonstrate Qatar's commitment to excellence in hospitality and feature the creation of dishes, such as short ribs, Machboos, Toban Yaki and Taj Barreh.

Secretary General of Qatar National Tourism Council and Group Chief Executive of Qatar Airways, His Excellency Mr. Akbar Al Baker, said: "Chefs in Qatar are committed to serving the very best of Middle Eastern and international dishes, while providing excellent service and hassle-free hospitality. Since Qatar is home to over a hundred nationalities, our ever-expanding culinary landscape is diverse."

Well-known restaurants are establishing themselves in the Qatari capital, Doha, which boasts over 3,000 restaurants, attracting tens of thousands of diners each day. Additionally, Doha hosts a collection of gourmet restaurants, over 15 of which are run by Michelin-star chefs, including Nobu at The Four Seasons Hotel Doha and Hakkasan at The St. Regis Doha.

As the country prepares for reopening its borders to tourists, Qatar has maintained a strong focus on bolstering its destination experience, and is committed to opening many more restaurants by 2022, bringing even more choice to its shores.

While extensive developments across the country continue, QNTC is working diligently with the Ministry of Public Health and the hospitality and tourism industry to ensure a safe and clean environment for all visitors and guests. In May 2020, the country introduced the 'Qatar Clean' programme (see www.qatarclean.com), a multi-phased, comprehensive initiative that ensures compliance with strict standards for hygiene and cleanliness at all hotels, restaurants and tourist attractions in the country.

The 'Chefs of Qatar' series, available here features the following nine restaurants and head chefs:

About Qatar National Tourism Council (QNTC)

Qatar National Tourism Council's mission is to firmly establish Qatar as a place where cultural authenticity meets modernity, and where people of the world come together to experience unique offerings in culture, sports, business and family entertainment.

QNTC's work is guided by the Qatar National Tourism Sector Strategy (QNTSS), which seeks to diversify the country's tourism offering and increase visitor spending.

Since launching QNTSS, Qatar has welcomed over 14 million visitors. The economic impact of the tourism sector in Qatar is becoming increasingly visible with the government designating tourism in 2017 a priority sector in pursuit of a more diverse economy and more active private sector.
