COWI Qatar travels on the newly opened Doha Metro!

What a journey last week!
On the occasion of the Holy Month of Ramadan, the traditional COWI Qatar Iftar celebration saw this year the office staff and families taking a ride on the newly opened Red Line metro in Doha.
The journey on the state-of-the-art driverless trains took the group along the Al Qassar to Al Wakra route and on the way back from Al Wakra, stopping at Al Bidda station (Al Diwan for the old guys!) with its beautiful park atop, as the chosen location for the photo shooting.
The group eventually headed to the Iftar and enjoyed some good time together!
The Red Line started its initial operation for the public on May 8 and will soon open other stations such as Katara, Legtaifiya, Qatar University and Lusail, running for 40km from Lusail (North) to Al Wakra (South), and connecting the Hamad International Airport at Terminal 1.
As part of the COWI team that started and managed successfully to support ISG JV delivering this amazing megaproject since the summer of 2013, it has been a very proud moment to see the metro finally in operation - a big congratulation to all who made this possible!
And super happy babbo to see my son enjoying it too!
