4 Ways to Celebrate National Sports Day in Qatar

Qatar is celebrating National Sports Day on February 14, 2017. The day of sports and other activities promotes the benefits of an active, healthy lifestyle. It always takes place on the second Tuesday of February and this year, it coincidentally also falls on Valentine's Day. The best part of it all? It's also a public holiday!

It might not be the romantic setting you were thinking of but showing that you care about a loved one's health is still a great way to show your love. And if you're anti-Valentine's, then this will be a fun way to spend your day away from romance!
