Under the patronage of Her Excellency Sheikha Al Mayassa bint Hamad bin Khalifa Al Thani, Chairperson of Qatar Museums,
the Conference on Archaeology and Cultural Heritage in the Arab World is organized by Qatar Museums in collaboration with the Arab League Educational, Cultural and Scientific Organization (ALECSO).

This conference, held under the theme ‘Sustainability of Cultural Heritage: Challenges and Strategies for the Future’, comes at a critical moment that compels us to redefine the very concept of protection: to protect heritage not only from erosion or neglect, but from being forgotten. It is about preserving it not as a static relic, but as a dynamic force in the consciousness of our peoples and in the shaping of their future. Protecting heritage is no longer confined to museums or cultural institutions, it has become an integral part of the comprehensive development vision in the Arab world.
