One of the great advantages of Qatar World Cup with respect to any other that has been celebrated will be the comfort of the transfers. Within a radius of 70 kilometers, concentrated around Doha, are the eight stadiums that will host the matches and will also be, except for surprise, the base camps of the 32 participating teams. Minimum distances in comparison, for example, with what was experienced four years ago in Russia, where Spain had to face a good number of kilometers by plane to travel from Krasnodar to each of the venues of their matches.
It is not surprising that one of the great claims to attract fans is to be able to attend more than one game a day during the group stage simply by taking public transport and without having to change accommodation.
This advantage is, at the same time, a serious drawback to receive the 1.2 million visitors expected at the World Cup, which will have to be located in just a few square kilometers. Qatar He assures that there will be no housing problem, but he has had to devise some temporary facilities to complement the country’s hotel offer. The most imaginative has been the agreement with a major cruise company for their ships to dock in the port of Doha during the World Cup dates. So far 4,000 cabins have been secured, which will be made available to the organizing committee to accommodate visitors, workers or journalists.
Together with them, Qatar has also started the construction of 16 floating hotels in the qetaifan north island, about 20 kilometers from Doha. Located on the waters of the Persian Gulf, they will each measure 72 meters long by 16 wide. With a minimalist design, they will be built in wood and white steel and will be powered by solar energy. Along with these residences on the water, a good number of apartments, villas and even desert camps are also being set up.
