Doha Metro - Qatar Railway

Doha Metro Phase 1 is implemented by multiple joint ventures involving local and international contractors. Qatar Rail has previously specified that consortiums looking to build different parts of the network should partner with a Qatari firm, which has led to companies such as Qatar Building Company, Galfar Al-Misnad Engineering, Al Darwish and HBContracting all picking up work alongside international bidders.

Seven underground stations are proposed along this route up to Doha Golf Club, from where it will be over the ground to reach Al Khor.
