A groundbreaking ceremony has taken place for a new US$3bn theme park that is set to open in Qatar.
Land of Legends is now under construction following the ceremony, which was attended by Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulrahman bin Jassim Al Thani, Qatar’s prime minister and minister of foreign affairs. The project is a partnership between Qatari Diar Real Estate Investment Company and FTG Development, and it’s hoped that the park will transform tourism in the region.
It is the first part of development for the country’s Simaisma Project, which will cover 8m sq.m and is another mega-project in the Middle East.
The park is expected to attract two million visitors annually and is expected to open by 2028. It will span 650,000sq.m and take visitors across seven themed lands with multiple unique attractions.
Fettah Tamince, founder of FTG Development and president of Land of Legends, said: “We are delighted to bring the unique Land of Legends experience to Qatar with our partner Qatari Diar, creating a destination that is more than just a theme park or hotel.
“It is a lively world of entertainment and leisure that will add a new dimension to Qatar's attractions and become a top choice for holidays and fun for millions in the region.”
