About Mina District

The scope of this project was to transform Doha Port Mina District into a touristic destination hosting a marina for cruise ships, cafes, restaurants, shops, and hotel apartments. The intention was to make it an interactive and dynamic hub where people can meet, gather, and attend events and festivities all year long. The district’s concept design was inspired by the sea shipping containers and the Qatari architecture particularly houses located along the country’s coast. The district’s buildings are painted in bright and distinctive colors and are surrounded by lush green gardens. Many factors were considered before starting the lighting design for this beautiful district; The location on the seaside; the Qatari architecture; the difference in colors and the beautiful promenades in between the buildings. The primary goal was to strengthen the project’s identity in a realistic and cost-effective manner by reflecting the contemporary mood while preserving the same classic spirit.

Fishing heritage of Qatar

Doha was a humble, unglamorous fishing and pearling community before the discovery of oil. Up until the early 20th century, Qatar’s economy was reliant on the efforts of fishermen and their boats, and sea-based transactions were the major sources of wealth. Generation after generation of fishermen and divers handed down their knowledge of techniques, while others learned to make sophisticated tools and construct sturdy, beautiful dhows to transport crews of men and their loot. The old-fashioned boats are still visible on the horizon of Doha, although now they are propelled by motors rather than the sea wind. Like fishing, boat construction is still a tradition and a source of great pride for the community; you can still witness artisans at work at boat yards close to the harbor.

Market overview of fish industry

The market for fisheries and aquaculture in Qatar is projected to grow at a CAGR of 5.1% over the forecast period (2022-2027). Long-term market growth is anticipated to be steady as consumers turn to protein-rich sources due to the nation’s growing health consciousness. Fish is very nutrient-dense and has outstanding health advantages, therefore this has increased consumer demand for it. The Qatari government is aggressively encouraging investors and international firms to build an expanded sector for fisheries and aquaculture in the nation as part of its efforts to diversify the economy of the region. This has given investors new chances to fund RAS-based agricultural systems, cage fish farming, etc. The Qatari government disclosed a proposal to construct a shrimp farm in 2019 after signing a deal with the Texas-based Global Blue Technologies. The market for fisheries and aquaculture can expand as a result of these developments in the years to come.
