OMG thank you so much for this pic! I'm impressed by the state of development of Lusail!!

Very impressive picture! The Pearl looks amazing and the new airport looks pretty much the same. I hope that works progresses faster. Thanks for showing it.

Wow!!!!!::eek2::eek2: Where did u find this image Pearl of the Gulf?

So the new airport will be right next to the current ?

^^ looooooooooooool you didnt know ? yes its right next to the old one but the reclaimed the sea, and the current one will be demolished it will provide a large area for all types of construction....

^^ err I've never been to Qatar so am not that familiar with it

But will be built on reclaimed land ? I don't think Qatar is running out of space like Japan
