Qatar hosted the ceremonial groundbreaking for Land of Legends Qatar, signifying the initiation of a significant development poised to become one of the largest theme parks in the Middle East and North Africa.
Abdullah bin Hamad bin Abdullah Al Attiyah, Qatar’s Minister of Municipality and Chairman of Qatari Diar Real Estate Investment Company, remarked during the ceremony, “The Land of Legends project is an essential element of Qatar’s strategy to diversify its national economy, providing an extraordinary experience that will aid in attracting investments and enhancing the tourism sector.”
Covering an area of over 650,000 square meters, Land of Legends Qatar will comprise seven themed zones and is projected to draw 2 million visitors each year, according to the announcement.
This development represents the first major initiative within the Simaisma Project, which encompasses more than 8 million square meters and extends along a 7-kilometer beach located 30 kilometers north of Doha.
The project is a collaboration between FTG Development, based in Türkiye, and Qatari Diar Real Estate Investment Company.
Qatari Diar Real Estate Investment Company was founded in 2005 by the Qatar Investment Authority, the sovereign wealth fund of the State of Qatar.
