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.

Last 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.

MOQ management took time to congratulate the entire team on their dedication to the project thus far and offered words of gratitude and motivation.

“When you visit the MOQ premises, you immediately feel the positive energy emanating from every corner of the mall – and the momentum will continue for the next 100 days,” said Rony Mourani, general manager, Mall of Qatar.

Shem Krey, managing director, Mall of Qatar, gave his take on the relationships that will be created over the next 100 days. "We are now getting to know our tenants even better, and they are as excited as we are about the impending launch in October. Collectively, we look forward to welcoming visitors for the entire MOQ experience.”

MOQ will offer a dramatically 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 sq m of multi-level entertainment for children and adults.

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