Qatar National Tourism Council (QNTC) is excited to release an all new culinary video as a part of a nine-part streaming series, to celebrate Qatar’s National Day on December 18 and promote the country’s diverse cuisines, connecting the international community to local Qatari delicacies.

The video introduced Qatari Chef Noor Al Mazroei where she circulated her traditional recipe and insider tips for cooking Machboos, Qatar’s national dish. The video is part of a culinary series, which features some of the country’s most renowned chefs and gives the world an insight into Qatar’s expanding food scene.

Secretary General of Qatar National Tourism Council and Group Chief Executive of Qatar Airways, His Excellency Mr. Akbar Al Baker, said an experience of working with Chef Noor Al Mazroei alongside celebrating Qatar National Day gave immense pleasure in presenting the local delicacy and it opened a unique aspect of Qatar’s heritage to kitchen at the global platform.

The decision of expanding the culinary landscape will soon welcome guests from around the world to Qatar and enrich their cuisine and food culture as a whole.

The rich and flavoursome rice dish, Machboos, is the national dish of Qatar. Its depth of flavour comes from a combination of aromatic spices that produce a smoky taste. Served with a variety of meats, the dish is a favourite across the Arabian Sea.
