Not just a Bridge but a Symbol of Brotherhood
Qatar’s continued road infrastructure to ease traffic congestion and promote the smooth flow of traffic is an ongoing challenge but so far has proved to be both successful and impressive. The same can be said about the first road in Qatar to be called a ‘corridor’ due to the fact that it connects the North and South of Qatar.
Qatar’s public works authority (Ashghal) announced the opening of the 29km long Sabah Al Ahmad Corridor on the National Day and Liberation Day Anniversary of the brotherly State of Kuwait on the 25th February 2021. The Sabah Al Ahmad Corridor is the depiction of fraternity between Qatar and Kuwait, firmly rooted in the wise and visionary leadership of the two states.
His Highness Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani, Amir of the State of Qatar named the corridor after the late Sheikh Sabah Al Ahmad Al Jaber Al Sabah, Amir of Kuwait. This gesture is symbolic of the deep historic ties of brotherhood between Kuwait and Qatar and in appreciation of Sheikh Sabah Al Ahmad’s humanitarian efforts.
Sabah Al Ahmad Corridor has also coined Qatar’s record achievements that are, the largest interchange and the longest deepest bi-directional tunnel. Also, part of it is the first and longest cable-stayed bridge in Qatar. The cable-stayed bridge is huge and aesthetically well-lit. For a number of events and important days, the bridge is lit up and adorned with respective colors and flags.
The Sabah Al Ahmad Corridor is a four-lane dual carriage highway, which extends for approximately 25 km from Hamad International Airport to Umm Lekhba Interchange (known as Landmark Interchange) on Doha Expressway. The Corridor also features pedestrian crossings, including seven bridges and two pedestrian underpasses, as well as 50.5km of bicycle and pedestrian paths for the safe movement of pedestrians. It will also facilitate access to five of the FIFA World Cup 2022 stadiums as well as complement the Doha Metro network by offering commuters the flexibility to combine road and rail travel to reach their destinations.
The Sabah Al Ahmad Corridor serves fifteen main roads serving twenty-five densely populated residential areas. The two most prominent areas are Abu Hamour and Al Mamoura. Abu Hamour proves itself to be a very family-friendly place to live in Qatar, due to the number of local and international schools, well-developed residential properties, and closeness to a number of retail outlets. There are a huge number of stand-alone villas and a few villa compounds in the area. Abu Hamour is on the list of the top ten most popular places to live in Qatar, click here to know more.

The area is quiet and home to mostly stand-alone villas and a few villa compounds. Many international schools and local schools are also found here. Being close to Salwa Road, Al Mamoura has access to major cities of Qatar along with a number of retail outlets, restaurants, and service stores.
