Just 100 days to go for grand opening of the Mall of Qatar

Excitement is growing among stakeholders as Doha's Mall of Qatar (MOQ), which promises to change the entire shopping mall experience in the region, enters the last 100 days before launch.

Thursday marked Mall of Qatar’s final march towards its grand opening, set for October 29.

Expected to receive a footfall of 20 million customers annually, the Mall of Qatar includes 500 shops including over 100 food and beverage (F&B) outlets and 7,000 underground and surface car-parking spaces.

Shem Krey, managing director, Mall of Qatar, gave his take on the relationships that will be created over the next 100 days.

"We’re now getting to know our tenants even better, and they’re as excited as we’re about the impending launch in October. We look forward to welcoming visitors for the entire MOQ experience.”

MOQ will offer a different shopping experience, transforming the way visitors engage with malls, premiering the world’s first resident troupe, performing mall-wide entertainment and custom-developed live shows on a 360-degree multi-lift rotating festival stage with theatrical sound and lighting and animated water features.

The mall’s 19-screen Cineplex will include the latest 4D projection technology screen and seven VIP screens on three levels, an eight-lane bowling alley and in-theatre gourmet food service.

The mall will have a family entertainment complex spread over 16,500 sqm of multi-level entertainment for children and adults.

The mall complex also has a five-star luxury hotel — Curio, a Collection by Hilton.
