Lusail, located north of Doha, is an ultramodern planned city designed as a model for sustainable living. Built virtually from the desert sand, the city is designed to accommodate up to 450,000 people upon completion. Lusail is a showcase for futuristic architecture and innovative urban infrastructure.
