Grand Final Gala Ceremony 2013

30 November 2013 – Doha, Qatar

Grand Final

Qatar

Following the FIFA announcement in 2010 that Qatar would become the first in the Middle East to host the football World Cup in 2022, a four-decade long process of development was given fresh impetus. Infrastructure is being developed, stadiums planned, hotels designed, airports built and ports created, in what is now one of the most forward looking communities on earth.

It is tourism where Qatar has really asserted its authority – growing to rival the established powerhouses of the United Arab Emirates.

This unique destination is a hotbed of cultural and sporting events, as well as amazing monuments, all easily accessible.

Highlights include the incredible Museum of Islamic Art, where you can stroll through the grand halls and courtyards of this architectural masterpiece. Also head to the desert - the dunes along the coast are mountainous slabs of sand as high as 200 metres. Visit Khor al-Adaid, an inland sea surrounded by crescent-shaped sand dunes, where local tour operators organize overnight camps and day trips.
