History
Lusail is the third-largest city in Qatar after Doha and Al-Rayyan, and serves as an important economic hub. Located on the coast in the southern part of the municipality of Al Daayen, it lies about 23 kilometres (14 mi) north of the Doha city centre, just north of the West Bay Lagoon, covering over 38 square kilometres (15 sq mi). It will eventually have the infrastructure to accommodate 450,000 people, of which it is estimated that 250,000 or fewer will be residents, with around 190,000 office workers and 60,000 retail workers.
