Highlights
  • I Love Lusail Statue - The Lusail Marina is a central feature of the Lusail City project. It is designed to be a luxurious marina offering berths for yachts and boats of various sizes. The marina is surrounded by high-end residential and commercial buildings, creating a vibrant and upscale waterfront community.
  • Al Bayt Stadium - Al-Bayt Stadium is a retractable roof football stadium in Al Khor, Qatar, which was opened in time for matches in the 2022 FIFA World Cup, which began on 20 November 2022. The stadium is located 35 km away from Doha, which made it the furthest stadium from the capital that was used in the World Cup.
  • Purple Island - Al Khor Island - Al Khor Island, also known as Jazirat bin Ghanim and Purple Island, is an island located in the municipality of Al Khor on the northeast coast of Qatar. It accommodates the only archaeological site in the country attributable to the second millennium BC.
  • Al Jumail - Past the small arched door, a narrow spiral stair leads up to the top of the windswept minaret, still standing tall even as almost everything around it has crumbled.

Inside the tiny room atop the circular shaft, four little windows open up to the long-abandoned surroundings. On the one side, the tumbling ruins of old fishermen’s houses – most without a roof, doors or windows – stretch along the turquoise coastline. On the other, the Qatari desert.

  • Al Zubara Fort - Adjacent to the walled coastal town of Al Zubarah, this 20th century fort is the youngest and most prominent feature of the Al Zubarah Archaeological Site, a UNESCO World Heritage site. A pristine example of a typical Arab fort, its one-meter-thick walls warded off invaders and helped keep rooms cool during the hot summer. This important site houses residential palaces, mosques, courtyard houses, fishermen’s huts, streets, double defensive walls, a harbor, a canal, and cemeteries.
