L'Horizon by Elie Saab

A second Elie Saab address on the island

Elie Saab's residential work arrived in Qatar in 2022 with Les Vagues, Dar Global's five towers on the Qetaifan Island North marina. L'Horizon is the second Elie Saab address on the island, and it takes a narrower brief: one type of home, the two bedroom apartment, offered in eight layouts. The two addresses are sold with their own plans, prices and timelines. For a buyer this means a simple choice: Les Vagues for the widest range of sizes and a completion date that is closer, L'Horizon for a two bedroom home and a payment plan that holds more of the price back until handover.

Eight two bedroom layouts

Every apartment has two bedrooms and two bathrooms. As a guide, Type 7 is the most compact at about 95 sqm, followed by Type 2 at about 111 sqm and Type 4 at about 115 sqm. Type 8, at about 140 sqm, and Type 5, at about 160 sqm, give a family more room to live. Types 1, 3 and 6, at about 213, 224 and 235 sqm, are the largest homes in the building. Ask us how each figure divides between internal area and balcony or terrace, and which floors each layout occupies, before you shortlist.

Interiors and the Elie Saab Experience

The interiors are designed by Elie Saab, and the apartments open onto private balconies turned to the island and the sea. Dar Global's brochure for L'Horizon also describes access to the ELIE SAAB Experience, a showroom where buyers can choose from the designer's Maison furniture, accessories and fragrances. Whether an apartment is delivered furnished, and what any Elie Saab package includes, is set in the sale documents, so ask us to confirm the specification attached to your chosen home.

Amenities for residents

Residents have an infinity pool with sea views, an indoor swimming pool and a fitness centre, set among landscaped gardens. Concierge services and valet parking look after arrivals and the practical side of daily life, and retail at the building adds everyday convenience. Beyond the gates, the island supplies the beach clubs, the waterpark and the restaurants, so the building concentrates on the essentials.

Life on Qetaifan Island North

Qetaifan Island North covers about 1.3 million sqm off the northern edge of Lusail and is designed around leisure. Meryal Waterpark has 36 rides, and its Rig 1938 tower is recognised by Guinness World Records as the tallest water slide tower in the world. Azure Beach, the waterfront souqs and retail plaza, and the island's yacht and sailing clubs are each within a few minutes. Across the bridge, Lusail Boulevard is about five minutes by car, Katara Cultural Village and The Pearl-Qatar about twelve, West Bay about fifteen and Hamad International Airport about thirty.

Price, payment and timing

Guide prices start from QAR 2,478,173, about US$681,000. At that price, the 20% reservation payment is about QAR 495,600, the 60% paid during construction about QAR 1,486,900, and the final 20% of about QAR 495,600 falls due on handover. Dar Global schedules completion for December 2027. The Ministry of Justice transfer fee of 0.25% comes to about QAR 6,200 at the guide price. Payments are made in Qatari riyals, pegged to the US dollar, so a buyer earning in another currency should plan for exchange movements across the schedule.

Ownership, residency and tax

Qetaifan Island North is part of Lusail, one of the ten areas where non-Qataris may own freehold under Law No. 16 of 2018 and Cabinet Resolution No. 28 of 2020, as amended by Cabinet Resolution No. 21 of 2026. A purchase of at least QAR 730,000 supports a renewable residence permit, and a purchase of at least QAR 3,650,000 makes the buyer eligible to apply for permanent residency under Law No. 10 of 2018. Qatar levies no personal income tax and no capital gains tax on individuals. We confirm the current rules and your eligibility in writing before you commit.

Who L'Horizon suits, and seeing it with Omnia

L'Horizon suits a couple who want a guest room or a study by the sea, a family that needs two bedrooms close to Lusail and Doha, or an owner who wants an Elie Saab home for winters and holidays with a fifth of the price held until completion. Share your budget, the size you need and the view you want, and we'll shortlist the layouts, provide plans and prices, and arrange a visit. On the same island you can compare Les Vagues by Elie Saab and Sea La Vie, Dar Global's one bedroom plus den building completing in June 2030.
