It will also shed light on the potential threats these sites face and encourage actions that could mitigate those risks.\n\nThis campaign is part of QM's broader initiative to protect Qatar's cultural heritage, safeguard national identity, and ensure the preservation of historical sites for posterity. Director of Archaeology at Qatar Museums, Faisal Abdulla Al Naimi, stated, \"Our involvement in the Suhail Exhibition provides a unique chance to interact with the public and underscore the shared responsibility in preserving our heritage.
