Qatari culture has evolved in unimaginable ways over the last 25 years , yet it has never been truer to itself .

The 13th edition of Q Life Magazine – Generation to Generation – explores the breadth of Qatar ’ s ever-evolving traditions and celebrates the individuals and families passing down their heritage to future generations .

Within the lifetimes of Qatar ’ s parents and grandparents , the country has undergone dramatic transformation . Those reflecting on the past thirty years recall a Doha that feels worlds apart from today ’ s reality . Yet , rather than fading into history , Qatari culture and traditions continue to flourish , staying true to their roots while embracing modern technology and growing more vibrant in an everchanging world .

This edition highlights the individuals bringing Qatari culture to life . From young Qatari artists and designers reimagining their heritage through new mediums , to passionate equestrians preserving horsemanship as an intrinsic part of Qatari family identity , Generation to Generation explores how a nation remains deeply invested in celebrating its heritage .

During our conversations with families about their hopes , aspirations and the legacy they want to create for future generations , it became clear that heritage is not always something tangible . For many , values such as honesty , determination and resilience are just as integral to their cultural identity as traditions and customs .

With staggering developments in technology , the world is moving at lightning pace and traditions of the past risk being left behind . However , the people of Qatar have made it their mission to preserve their heritage , while fully embracing innovation , creativity and the future – in other words , the next generation .
