Lusail Ferry Terminal: The Hub of Innovation
Central to the project is the Lusail Ferry Terminal, a state-of-the-art facility spanning over 2,200 square meters. This terminal will act as the heart of the new transport system, with its sleek design and modern amenities, including ticketing services and comfortable waiting areas.
Phase one of the rollout includes three key stops: Lusail Ferry Terminal, the Pearl Ferry Stop, and Corniche Ferry Stop. Future expansions will extend services to Katara, Old Doha Port, Hamad International Airport, and Al Wakra.
