Known as the " future city" of Qatar, Lusail is still deserted before hosting the 2022 World Cup.
Lusail is home to major shopping malls, theme parks, countless international restaurants and two new symbolic additions to the Qatar horizon.
Katara Tower, the building of the 6-star hotels Raffles and Fairmont, is simulated after two swords as the symbol of the Qatari national emblem. In the country's outstanding architecture, each hotel occupies half of a building with a total area of 300,000 m2, with the most luxurious rooms in the world.
In addition, the "city of tomorrow" also impressed with 4 Lusail Plaza towers with sophisticatedly designedoc tourism. This project seems to have changes in height and shape depending on the visitor's point of view.
The architect of the 4 buildings in the city center is Foster + Partners, the designer of Lusail Stadium - where the country's grand events take place.
19 residential areas, business areas and complexes also contribute to creating Lusail, some areas have achieved a rapid development rate despite being under construction.
The Lusail Plaza Stadium and Tower are connected by Lusail Avenue, which regularly hosts parades and events, from the annual food festival to the classic car show.
The Lusail Museum - designed by Swiss architect Herzog & de Meuron - is still under construction. The Eastern and Middle Eastern Art Exhibition is expected to open in 2029.
Connecting to the city coast by a 6-lane highway is Al Maha Island, where entertainment activities in Winter wonderland Park and a series of international restaurants are concentrated.
Al Maha Island is considered to have the potential to become a rival for the vitality of the bustling Doha.
Lusail is being declared the first sustainable city in Qatar - a difficult task for a project in the desert.
Bryce McDevitt, Vice President of Construction Supervisory Company Parsons Corporation, said: The future of unlimited infrastructure in the Middle East. Building a green city allows for design in line with sustainability goals, access and economic equality.
A big advantage of the sand-based construction method is that when designing a city from the ground up, we will not be bound by existing infrastructure. All roads, airports, public transport, landscape and urban design can be built with smart sustainability, McDevitt added.
In recent decades, people have rarely thought about sustainability in Qatar - a desert country that has used oil and gas resources to bring life to the barren land.
Parks in the country's city are always green all year round and even the paths are air conditioned so that people can walk even in the summer, when the temperature can exceed 50 degrees Celsius.
Lusail is changing the thinking of tourists about Qatar with sustainable adjustments integrated into all projects.
With an electric vehicle system designed to reduce the need for cars, water storage and reuse systems will also reverse the desertification process and reduce the shortage of clean water in Qatar.
