Qatar on Emporis

to get it started:

does anybody have new photos of doha landmarks? if so, i would appreciate your permission to upload them to emporis.

the former editor there has uploaded crap and the section has been dead for ages, but i see light at the end of the tunnel!!!

what still puzzles me is the doha city centre. if you check it on emporis you will find several smaller towers of about 15 floors or so. what's u with these, is everything correct with them???!!!

PHOTOS PLEASE along with permission!

so you say that the following towers will not be built?
city center I
city center II
...
city center VIII

the former editor has changed them under construction status

are you really sure these 8 towers (16 to 30 floors) within doha city center will not be built? if yes, confirm it for me and i will delete these buildings from emporis

Old photo

This is a very old photo, this library is olanned to be completed in 2008, the structure at the top is being built at a sight near the library location whwn it finishes it will be shifted ti the location, then they will make the coloms seperatly, then they will rais the structure to the sky, stange but true.

I can't insert the photos I have otherwise I have plenty, could you tell me how to attaach photos in the reply.

Thanxs.

I thought the library was supposed to be completed this year?

There is some Qatar stuff on gomideast:

But are they crazy enough to build something like this. looks scary,

I'm sorry, I did the best I could ! there wasn't much in Qatar then, plus I didn't have a digicam (and I still don't). I think our Qatari friends could help improve Qatar's page, I can't since I don't live there anymore.

Photo I psoted earlier is of BARZAN TOWER ( i.e mentioned as Bustan Tower in my post). Error is regretted.

why does qatar national olympic comittee need a 30 floor building?
is there a like 5 floors for every delegate it sends?
or 1000 officials? or is it just a business tower with this name?!

Source 26,
QNOC Tower is not a business tower with Olympic committee logo on top.Qatar is country where sports and games are taken very seroiously, all the sports federations such as Football federation, Basketball Federation etc are all very active here. QNOC building houses all these federations , Qatar Sports Investment Company ( which is goverment venture) etc. In addition to these administrative depart5ments, Finance, Sports facilities Installation department, Maintenance Department, Public relations department etc are also in the same building :cheers1: trust this clarifies your doubt.

This tower didnt have enough office space to house the upcoming asian games organizing body that they had to go out and rent out two 10 story buildings. Sports are getting more and more attention in doha.
