QATAR HORSE CITY

 

The project is located 70 km north of Doha close to Al Khor village.
The necessity of having a new Hippodrome gave the idea to the Emir Hamad Bin Khalifa to have an entire city dedicated to ancestral emirate’s companion: the horse.
The city provides everything related with horses: a Hippodrome, a Polo Field, a Horse Museum, and miles of horse walks.
Visitors can stay several days in between a horse race and a polo match in this amazing place. This is why hotels, golf courts, shopping malls, villas, business center and lots of gardens are available in the city.
The different neighborhoods are organized mainly by their functions: living, working and entertain. Each one has their own urban and architectural identify and at the same time they are interconnected.
