Qatar Vision 2030 


In this blog, I will be talking about two of the coming projects that will fulfil Qatar’s vision for 2030. The first project is Lusail City and the second is Qatar Rail, I chose to talk about these two in specific because these are the most I’m excited about and they are going to be completed very soon. 

Lusail City 

 Lusail City is one of the largest sustainable cities in Doha with its astonishing concepts and modernity it is the typical illustration of what Qatar’s vision in 2030. The city extends across an area of 38 km and has four islands, one of them is Qetaifan island where luxurious waterfront living meets and where people can relax and enjoy spa treatments, tennis courts and pools. Furthermore, Lusail City is going to have entertainment and commercial districts with breathtaking architectural construction, commercial towers and avenues. This project will be completed by 2019 which is very exciting. I personally would love to live in a city like this where joy and comfort meet. 





Qatar Rail 


The population of Qatar’s citizens is increasing every year and with the world cup 2022 coming the streets will be full of traffic.Therefore, the metro will facilitate transportation around the city and will put up an end for traffic. Doha is a small country and most of the cities are close to each other but with traffic it could take you 30- 40 minutes to reach a place that is 10-15 minutes away from you. For instance, Qatar University is 15 minutes away from my house and sometimes with heavy traffic it takes me 40 minutes to reach it but going by the metro it will only take maximum of 4 minutes. The metro will be available to the public by 2020 and it will facilitate transportation for most people in Doha and will save up a lot of time wasted in traffic. I cannot wait to get rid of being stuck in traffic every morning.

Qatar Economic Development  For the past couples of weeks, my group and I have been working on a report about Qatar economic development. In the report we talked about Qatar vision 2030, Qatar after the blockade, and two important projects that helped in the growth of the economy; and they are Baladna and Lusail City. The blockade was meant to affect Qatar’s economy and making it helpless in front of the siege counties. However, Qatar was able to prove itself and its economic strength in overcoming this crisis by finding new partnerships and working on local projects such as Baladna. Baladna is a private business established by Alkhayyat family. Baladna sells 100% Qatari dairy products and after the blockade, Qatar supported it more to cover the shortage in dairy products after they were cut by Saudi Arabia. More than 3,000 cows were shipped to Qatar and the market was filled with local dairy products which helped in the growth of the economy.  Furthermore...

Welcome to my blog! In this blog I will be talking about myself, my career and my goals in the future.. My name is Shahed and I am a Jordanian student majoring in English linguistics and minoring in translation at Qatar University. I come from a culture that has a huge part in shaping who I am and how I think, my passion for learning and know knew languages was with me since I was 15 years old and that's when I had a friend who taught herself a new language and became fluent in it which made me even more eager to do something and to take a step forward into what I love. She inspired me that anyone can do anything, so I started learning Spanish and watching and reading more in Spanish, I wouldn't say that I'm even good at it yet, but I always try to find the time to learn more and more. This takes us to why I chose to be a linguist, because I find it enjoyable and a great major that improves me as a person, because it introduces other languages and cultures to me and t...

Sheikha Almayassa's TED Talk About culture.     Globalizing the local, localizing the global was the title of her talk. Sheikha Al mayassa talked about different aspects of the Qatari culture and touched upon important notions. She talked about the Qatari identity and Qatar plans to the world in adequacy and a way that attracts people to want to know about the Arab and Qatari culture.  Sheikha Almayassa talked about many important arguments and one of them is developing the country while maintaining the Qatari identity, she wants to break the walls between the east and the west in order for all people to learn from and about each other. “We don’t want to be all the same, but we want to respect each other and understand each other” said Sheikha Almayassa, about building an organic relationship with the world. The second thing she focused on, is the influential role of women now a days in our society for future generations and how powerful women a...
