DOHA: The family-friendly Simaisma Beach will be closed starting today (June 10) for a period of five years to allow for the development of the massive Simaisma tourism project, being implemented by Qatari Diar, Arabic portal Al Sharq reported.
Located 40km north of the capital, the project is one of Qatar's most prominent future tourism projects. It aims to introduce a new concept of tourism and entertainment, providing an exceptional experience for visitors and residents throughout the year.
The project spans an area of approximately 8 million square meters, covering a 7-kilometer coastal strip on the picturesque eastern coast. The project is set to combine coastal nature with modern technologies, most notably an innovative outdoor cooling system that allows for outdoor enjoyment throughout the year.
The project includes 16 diverse tourist areas ready for development, including a group of resorts designed within four main areas, each distinguished by its own unique architectural style and identity.
