Doha, Qatar – April 24 2025

AlRayan Bank proudly participated in the 11th edition of the Senyar 2025 Haddaq and Laffah Fishing Festival, a distinguished national event that celebrates Qatar’s rich maritime traditions while promoting environmental and economic sustainability. This year’s festival brought together an impressive 54 teams and a total of 610 participants, uniting sea enthusiasts and heritage advocates from across the country.

As part of its ongoing brand visibility strategy, AlRayan Bank’s newly refreshed logo was prominently displayed throughout the event—from banners and traditional sails to participant kits—reflecting the bank’s renewed commitment to community engagement and cultural connection.

The festival, which encourages the use of traditional, non-motorized wooden boats (shuwaihs), aligns closely with AlRayan Bank’s environmental sustainability goals. By minimizing carbon emissions and reducing water pollution, the initiative contributes meaningfully to preserving Qatar’s marine ecosystems.

Beyond its ecological impact, the Senyar Festival serves as a vital platform for preserving Qatar’s maritime heritage and supporting the cultural legacy of the Gulf. It also fosters economic and social sustainability by empowering local artisans, boat builders, and marine-based trades—ensuring that traditional knowledge and craftsmanship continue to thrive in modern times.

Commenting on the initiative, Eman Al Naemi, Assistant General Manager – Corporate Communications at AlRayan Bank, stated: " Our participation in the Senyar 2025 Festival reflects AlRayan Bank’s deep-rooted commitment to sustainability, community, and culture. Through initiatives like this, we continue to reinforce our brand presence while supporting national efforts to preserve Qatari heritage, protect the environment, and promote local economic resilience. We are proud to align our identity with values that resonate so strongly with the people of Qatar."

AlRayan Bank’s participation in the Senyar 2025 Festival underscores its broader CSR vision—one that honors the past, protects the future, and remains deeply rooted in the values of community, heritage, and responsible progress.
