Kidzania is an independent city for children inside Qatar

Emad Mourad - Doha

Visa, passport and currency change are permanent preparations for those who travel abroad, but Kidzania City, which recently opened in Qatar, needs these procedures to be able to enter as an independent city for children and under their administration.

Kidzania's idea is that the suffering of children from wars and conflicts in the adult world led them to establish their own city free of crime and hatred based on love, cooperation and knowledge among themselves to escape this painful world.

Al Jazeera Net is a tour of this city starting from Kidzania Airport with the Airbus A380 on board. The entrance to the Kidzania visa is completed. The entrance to the Kidzania Independence Monument stands for three children raising the flag of the city and stands close to the monument. With the word "kay", the welcome word for Kidzania.

This is followed by the other memorial to the rights on which the city was founded - "your right to be", "your right to play", "to innovate, to know and to participate" - and to be embodied in the personalities of children bearing these rights.

Professional children
If you have to complete your tour of Kidzania and enjoy its services, the bank will be the first destination to change the currency because the local currency is not within the city, so you have to convert your money into Kidzos. When you run out of savings, you only have to work at Kidzania to get the money.

The city is dedicated to teaching children how to manage their lives and what they are aiming for. Kedzania is not a city for amusement parks, but a city to put children in a real living environment on their own, teach them how to deal with difficult situations, manage their businesses and learn about the various professions and practice them on the ground. .
