Exhibitors from eight different countries in the Middle East, North Africa, Asia and Europe are lining up for the 8th edition of Cityscape Qatar, the only real estate exhibition and conference of its kind in the Gulf state.

This year’s CityScape Qatar is set to kick off on October 22 and will run until October 24 at the Doha Exhibition and Convention Center.

Qatar Living is proud to be the media partner for CityScape Qatar for the fourth time. Just like the previous year, this year too Qatar Living will have a booth at the event.

Visitors to the Qatar Living booth will have a chance to walk away with some daily prizes and giveaways.

CityScape Qatar will be held under the patronage of Sheikh Abdullah bin Nasser bin Khalifa Al Thani, Qatar’s Prime Minister and Minister of Interior.

It will also feature a high-powered opening day conference and the highly popular Cityscape Talks series slated to take place on October 23 and 24.

A range of unparalleled investment opportunities within the local and international real estate markets will go on offer to investors and homebuyers including second-home properties in Tunisia, which will have a dedicated pavilion at the show.

While major names from Qatar’s own expanding real estate sector will be present, including Qatari Diar and Qetaifan Projects, overseas developers are looking to lure investment to a range of projects.

“Qataris are a prime target for overseas real estate investment given that their nation is known as the richest country in the world with a per capita income of $134,620 and given the extensive air links available via the national airline Qatar Airways,” explained Carlo Schembri, Exhibition Director, Cityscape Qatar.

“This has attracted developers from throughout the Gulf, Tunisia, Turkey, Malaysia, and Switzerland to the show to promote second and vacation home options. Credit Agricole’s recent ranking of the Qatari sovereign wealth fund, Qatar Investment Authority, as one of the world’s top five real estate investors has also increased the appeal,” Schembri said.

The overseas portfolio on offer includes a lakeside resort in Switzerland. The upmarket Florens Lake Resort & Spa, opening its doors in Interlaken in 2021, hopes to attract Qataris to its upscale vacation apartments that come with a hotel service.

Edwin Hanssen from the resort says Qataris are being targeted due to their proven preference for Switzerland as a vacation destination.

The organizers of Cityscape Qatar, Cityscape and ELAN Events, are anticipating a high visitor turnout for next month’s event following promising exhibitor and visitor feedback from last year’s show which attracted over 9,000 participations and more than 40 exhibitors.

Attendance at the probing Cityscape Qatar conference is by invitation only with invites available by registering online at www.cityscapeqatar.com. Delegates will hear from industry thought leaders on the most important themes for real estate investment in Qatar. A combination of high-level presentations and an expert panel discussion will deliberate the latest sector trends.

The two-day Cityscape Talks series will be free-to-attend and will feature a wide choice of presentations covering a range of themes from ways to maximize real estate investment, to market trends.

And for the first time, INDEX Qatar, the only trade fair exclusively dedicated to Qatar’s interior design sector, will be co-located alongside Cityscape Qatar.
