Lusail: Qatar's Biggest Mega Project!

Qatar, like the UAE and Bahrain is incredibly rich, has almost limitless potential and is building many fantastic Mega Projects. The largest Qatar Mega Project by far is Lusail, located in the North of Doha, and so huge it will be an entire city unto itself. Lusail is a mixed use residential-retail-leisure-business development that once complete, sometime in 2010, will house over 200,000 residents.

"We are creating a product and destination for people of all nationalities and cultures to enjoy and benefit from. Our goal is to create a master plan for the country. The whole development, by encouraging inbound investment and providing world class living and working environments, will stimulate the local economy. It has been a collaborative process and is a prime example of what can be achieved through effective partnerships across the private and public sectors," according Nasser Al Ansari, Chief Executive of state-run Qatari Diar Real Estate Company, developers of Lusail.

Lusail will contain 18 different districts. Note that as the project is being developed more districts may be added. Lusail is a work in progress and as such can change:

1.) Marina District. A mixed use residential and commercial area that will contain high end residences, a marina, retail shops, hotels and a mall,

2.) Entertainment City. The entertainment center of Lusail will contain themed attractions based on Las Vegas and Picadilly,

3.) Energy City. A business park devoted to the oil and gas industry,

4.) Energy City Residential. A residential development for Energy City,
