Katara to be transformed into a global tourism destination

Katara Cultural Village will be transformed into a global cultural and tourism destination once the next stage of development projects are completed, according to General Manager, Dr Khalid bin Ibrahim al-Sulaiti.

Many commercial complexes, shopping malls and entertainment places are among the new projects, which are being implemented in line with Qatar National Vision 2030.

A commercial centre for children is also scheduled to open in early 2017 in addition to the Katara Fitness Centre and  Katara Hills project featuring 383 residential units are among the upcoming attractions.

The Katara Fitness Centre is coming up on the coast of the Cultural Village facing The Pearl-Qatar, whereas the commercial complex is located on the west side of Katara, decorated with a fountain in the middle of the courtyard, in addition to basement parking.

The two-storey commercial centre for children will include a number of shops with high-end international brands, offices, apartments and a unique shopping centre.
