To celebrate this historic milestone, City Center Doha will host a program of activities over a period of 20 days, with festive decorations, social media activities, competitions, and prizes.

Sheikh Faisal bin Qassim, Chairman of Aamal Company Q.P.S.C., commented:

“When we first embarked on this huge project in the late 1990s, it felt like an impossible dream to achieve, but with the ambition to deliver something extraordinary to our beloved country, and with the encouragement we received from our partners and the Government, the impossible became a reality and we are gathered here today to celebrate an amazing landmark that in some way has touched the lives of everyone in Qatar. We will continue to invest in City Center Doha to maintain its market-leading position as we always aim to deliver the best to our community and beloved country.”

Sheikh Mohamed bin Faisal Al Thani, CEO and Managing Director of Aamal Company Q.P.S.C, said:

“Today marks a special occasion for us and for Qatar’s retail sector. Since its opening in 2001, City Center Doha has added great value to Qatar’s business landscape and has been the catalyst for the development of the West Bay area, Doha’s premium business district. City Center Doha is now a beautiful space that has attracted top regional and international retailers to Qatar, boosted the job market, and supported the local community. Ongoing investment by its owners, Aamal Company, ensures that City Center Doha maintains its ability to offer a unique shopping and leisure experience to Qatar’s residents, as well as staying abreast of all the latest retail trends. Through its magnificent architectural design and the continuing upgrade of its facilities and tenant mix, City Center Doha is well-positioned to continue to be Qatar’s leading shopping destination.”
