Lusail Boulevard Fireworks: Planning for a Major Event
Lusail City is preparing for a significant public gathering as residents and visitors alike plan to ring in the New Year at the boulevard. The event will run from 6:00 PM to 2:00 AM, featuring a range of activities culminating in a midnight fireworks display. Authorities are emphasizing the importance of utilizing designated transportation options to ensure a smooth and safe experience for all attendees.
Parking and Transportation Details
Visitors traveling from Doha via Al Khor Coastal Road or the Lusail Expressway are directed to park at Al Wadi Parking, specifically in the yellow-designated areas. Unauthorized parking will result in fines, according to a statement released by Lusail City officials.
Those arriving from West Doha should use Al Kharayej Parking, also in the yellow areas, accessible via Exit 29A from Al Khor Coastal Road. Directional signage will be in place along Lusail Street to guide drivers. Shuttle buses will operate from both Al Kharayej and Al Wadi parking areas, beginning at 3:00 PM, providing transportation to and from Lusail Boulevard.
Additionally, taxi services will be available with a designated pick-up and drop-off location near the boulevard. For those preferring public transport, the Lusail QNB Metro Station offers a convenient route to the event.
Exclusive Access with “Al Majlis” Tickets
Spectators seeking a more exclusive experience can purchase tickets for “Lusail Boulevard – Al Majlis,” a private venue within the event area.
