Lusail, located north of Doha, is an ultramodern planned city designed as a model for sustainable living. Built virtually from the desert sand, the city is designed to accommodate up to 450,000 people upon completion. Lusail is a showcase for futuristic architecture and innovative urban infrastructure. Highlights include the artificial Qetaifan Islands, Crescent Park, and the Lusail Marina District. A central feature is the Lusail Stadium, an 80,000-seat stadium built for the 2022 FIFA World Cup final, with a facade reminiscent of traditional Arab bowls. The city has an advanced public transport system, including a tram and water taxi, as well as an underground pipe network for waste collection. The Katara Towers, shaped like crossed scimitar swords, are an iconic luxury hotel and a city landmark.
