Cityscape Qatar 2026: Dates, Entry & Exhibitors

Cityscape Qatar 2026 runs from 27 to 29 October 2026 at the Doha Exhibition and Convention Center (DECC) in West Bay, with visitors able to attend all three days free after registering.

The dates are important because older event listings previously showed an earlier October window. The current official Cityscape Qatar website and the organiser's latest September announcement now confirm 27–29 October 2026.

If you're a homebuyer, investor, property consultant or simply trying to understand where Qatar's real-estate market is heading, Cityscape brings developers, investment opportunities, industry leaders and live projects into one venue.

Qatar Living's property community has followed Cityscape for years, so here's the practical information you need to plan your visit — including the dates, registration, opening hours, transport, parking and what to expect on the show floor.

When and where is Cityscape Qatar 2026?

The exhibition takes place across three days from Tuesday, 27 October to Thursday, 29 October 2026 at the Doha Exhibition and Convention Center in West Bay.

This replaces the older 4–6 October dates that still appear on some third-party exhibition websites. The official Cityscape Qatar site and the wider Cityscape event calendar now consistently show 27–29 October.

DECC sits in the heart of West Bay and is directly connected to the Doha Metro network, making it one of the easier major exhibition venues to reach without driving.

Opening hours

The official Cityscape Qatar website currently lists:

• Tuesday, 27 October: 10am–8pm
• Wednesday, 28 October: 12pm–9pm
• Thursday, 29 October: 12pm–9pm.

So the original 11am–8pm and 9am–6pm estimates should be removed.

If you're attending for a particular panel, meeting or developer presentation, check the final programme closer to the date because individual sessions will have their own timings.

Entry requirements: how to register and get in

Cityscape Qatar 2026 is free to attend once you have completed the visitor registration process.

The official visitor FAQ says registered visitors receive a pass covering all three event days.

Importantly, the event isn't limited only to established industry professionals. Cityscape actively encourages first-time homebuyers and people who are new to property investment to attend, alongside experienced investors and real-estate professionals.

Registration is handled through Cityscape Qatar's own event system. You do not register through Metrash, Hukoomi or another Qatar government service.

Step-by-step visitor registration

1. Go to the official Cityscape Qatar visitor page.
2. Select the Visit / Register to Attend option.
3. Complete the requested visitor information.
4. Submit your registration.
5. Follow the badge and entry instructions sent by the organiser.

The current official homepage links directly to the Cityscape visitor-registration platform.

One Cityscape subpage still contains older wording saying visitors can “register their interest” and be notified when registration opens. Since the main 2026 homepage now links directly to the visitor registration system, that subpage appears to be lagging behind the current event setup.

What to bring on the day

Bring:

• your Cityscape registration confirmation or visitor pass;
• your phone so you can access any digital badge or event information;
• business cards or digital contact details if you're networking; and
• notes on the developers or projects you specifically want to compare.

The original article states that visitors must bring a QID or passport for entry, but I could not find that requirement published in the current official 2026 visitor information.

Follow whatever identification instructions appear in your final registration confirmation rather than treating QID/passport checks as a confirmed universal requirement.

Likewise, don't rely on turning up without registering: the organiser promotes advance visitor registration, while on-site registration has not been clearly confirmed for 2026.

Getting to DECC in West Bay

DECC is very well connected by both public transport and road.

By Doha Metro

Take the Doha Metro Red Line to DECC Station.

DECC confirms that the station is directly next to the Doha Exhibition and Convention Center.

That makes Metro particularly practical for Cityscape, especially during the afternoon and evening sessions when West Bay traffic can become heavier.

Taxi, limousine and ride-hailing drop-off is also available at the main exhibition entrance.

By car and parking

DECC has approximately 2,800 underground parking spaces across two levels.

The current standard DECC parking tariff is:

• First four hours: QAR 3 per hour
• Each additional hour: QAR 5
• Maximum daily charge: QAR 70
• Lost ticket: QAR 70.

So the original estimate of QAR 30–40 per day should be removed.

For example, a three-hour Cityscape visit would currently cost QAR 9 under DECC's normal tariff, while a six-hour visit would cost QAR 22.

Event-specific parking arrangements can still be announced closer to the date, so check before travelling.

What to expect inside the halls

Cityscape Qatar 2026 is expected to feature more than 400 live property projects from over 70 developers across approximately 18,000sqm of exhibition space.

The organiser says visitors will be able to compare projects, view scale models and master plans, meet development teams directly and explore investment opportunities from Qatar and international markets.

The 2026 programme also includes:

• live project showcases
• investor matching
• the 4th Qatar Real Estate Forum
• meetings with developers and investment specialists
• market discussions involving government leaders, developers and investors.

Cityscape says its audience includes homebuyers, institutional investors, private investors, property consultants, master developers, investment trusts, PropTech and FinTech companies, financial institutions, architects and engineers.

So if you're considering buying, the value of the exhibition is less about simply collecting brochures and more about being able to compare multiple projects and speak directly with the companies behind them in one visit.

The event will also spotlight real-estate development connected to Qatar National Vision 2030, including investment, economic diversification, sustainable growth and more liveable communities.

The exhibitor list — who's showing up

The original article is now outdated on this point.

Cityscape Qatar has already created an official 2026 Exhibitor Directory, and the organiser expects 70+ developers to participate.

Because the directory can continue to change as additional companies confirm participation, use the official 2026 list rather than relying on names from the 2025 edition.

One major confirmed international presence is Saudi Arabia, which has been named Cityscape Qatar 2026's Official Guest Country of Honor.

A dedicated Saudi Pavilion is set to include representatives from:

• the Real Estate General Authority (REGA)
• Sakani Program
• the Ministry of Municipal and Rural Affairs and Housing (MOMRAH)
• the Ministry of Investment Saudi Arabia (MISA).

If a particular developer or country pavilion is the main reason you're attending, check the live 2026 directory shortly before the event.

How to exhibit or book a stand

Companies interested in exhibiting can submit an enquiry through Cityscape Qatar's official Exhibit in 2026 process.

The current process broadly involves:

1. Submit an exhibitor enquiry with your company, sector and contact details.
2. Tell the organiser what size of stand you're considering. Current enquiry options include approximately 9–21sqm, 21–36sqm, 36–72sqm, 72–100sqm and 100sqm+.
3. Receive a proposed location and package based on audience, space and budget.
4. Confirm the space and contract, after which the event team supports logistics and setup.

Exact stand prices are not published as a simple public QAR tariff. Prospective exhibitors need to request a proposal from the organiser.

Cityscape currently expects 16,000+ visitors, 70+ developers and more than 400 live projects, making the event a substantial property-investment platform rather than simply a developer showcase.

Whether you're buying, investing or exhibiting, the three days provide a useful opportunity to compare Qatar's property market in one place.

After the event, continue your search through Qatar Living Properties to compare current homes, developments and rental or sales listings across Qatar.
