Against this background, a new futuristic development emerges – Lusail. It is located to the north of the Lusail settlement, a historical cultural beacon that includes the ‘Founder’s Fort’, which served as the Centre of Governance by the Founder of the State of Qatar, Sheikh Jassem bin Mohammed Al Thani, in the early 1900s.
Rooted in authentic Qatari heritage and cultural values, the name “Lusail” was derived from that of one of Qatar’s rarest flowers, an emblem of the city’s uniqueness, and the seamless fusion between Doha’s heritage and contemporary transformation.
Lusail extends across an area of 38 square kilometers and includes four exclusive islands and 19 multi-purpose residential, mixed-use, entertainment and commercial districts. Lush greenery and pocket parks across Lusail’s neighborhoods, residential and commercial areas, as well as two major park networks, the Crescent Park and the Wadi Park, bring to life Lusail city’s green, sustainable living ambitions, creating ample space for walkways, sports fields and bicycle lanes, as well as open access to marina promenades and water bodies.
