Msheireb (Arabic: مشيرب) is a rapid transit station in Doha, Qatar located between Msheireb Downtown Doha and Mushayrib. It serves as a transfer station for the Red, Gold and Green lines of the Doha Metro and is considered the largest station in the city.
History
In 2015, the station was planned to be completed by mid-2018, with six out of the 12 tunnel boring machine breakthroughs necessary completed. By February 2018, the main steel structure was complete and work moved into the stone roof cladding. In November 2018, work was almost finished, with only final touches remaining.
The station opened with the rest of the first phase of the Red Line on 8 May 2019. Service on the Gold and the Green lines began when they opened on 22 November, and December 10 of the same year, respectively.
