Doha's towering ambition - The National

The skyline is filled with construction cranes and striking architecture - towers that zigzag, glow and undulate in the night.

New man-made islands are designated for opulent luxury resorts. Business leaders talk of creating a global centre for tourism and business. It sounds like Dubai, but this is Doha. The Qatari capital is undergoing its own property boom.

Projects worth more than US$40 billion (Dh146.9bn) are under construction in the city, according to industry estimates. Expectations are sky-high after Qatar was selected as the host of the 2022 Fifa World Cup.
