The award-winning project is an innovative entertainment destination located on an island off Lusail City in Doha, Qatar.
Much of the construction for the entertainment destination is already completed and elements will begin opening in phases from September, starting with the luxury Beach Club. The landmark project will be fully opened and inaugurated at the FIFA World Cup 2022.
Qetaifan Island North is the first offering from Qetaifan Projects, a subsidiary of Katara Hospitality. The company was established in 2017 to support Qatar’s economic vision by building and developing sustainable, intelligent cities.
Hesham Sharaf, Chief Operating Officer said: “We’re working hard to please everyone. The initial idea by the country’s senior management was that we needed a waterpark. The concept grew around the idea of family entertainment, starting in 2013.
“In 2015 they started to look for a site for the project, still based on a waterpark and a theme park for family entertainment, at that point. From 2015-2017, the concept evolved into something more than an entertainment island: a 360-degree city, complete with schools, medical centres, with family entertainment at its heart.”
