3.8 Al Wakrah — Al Wakrah Road
Location
Context
M
M
M
Al Wakrah Road serves as the main spine of the
town and the major connector to Doha. Owing to
its geographic positioning, this street is at the
centre of major activities in Wakrah, connecting
the fishing village and port to the newly restored
heritage quarter, a number of retail and
commercial uses flank this street. This being the
most important street, Pearl roundabout
announces the arrival in Al Wakrah. A number of
metro stations are planned along this street that
will connect this town to Doha in the north and
Mesaieed in the south. This street has the
potential of becoming a great street in Al
Wakrah, which is the second city of Qatar,
currently undergoing significant redevelopment
with the proposal for a FIFA stadium underway
as well.
Al Wakrah has immense potential for cultural
and sports tourism and its public realm needs to
respond to the expectations from a second-tier
city of Qatar.

Opportunities and Constraints
Al Wakrah Road, where it flanks the
recently restored heritage quarter, is
the notional centre of Al Wakrah city.
Metro stations are also planned in
this location. At the same time, this
area is an important junction with Al
Wakhair Street.
Presently, Al Wakrah Road functions
as an expressway causing severance
between the Eastern side, the
heritage quarter, the waterfront and
the Western side with mostly
residential areas.
Metro station planning is an
opportunity to bring the two sides of
the city together by introducing a
high quality public realm with
pedestrian crossings, street
furniture, tree planting and signage
at appropriate locations.

Culture-Heritage
• Alturath-iyya Theme is applicable to areas
with a concentration of cultural destinations
that exist mostly within City Cores and the
contributory heritage assets that may be
present. The Theme occurs within cities and
remote areas.
• As illustrated in the Zone-Theme diagram on
this page; culture and heritage areas are
dispersed within all Character Zones of Qatar.
• Characterised by traditional urban fabric
interspersed with contemporary architectural
features in the city, and protected heritage
architectural features in villages and rural
areas, this Theme is at the core of Qatari
identity.
Relationship with ROW
• Typically within Alturath-iyya are
neighbourhood streets with ROW 40m or less
as illustrated in the diagram to the left.
• The Theme does not have relevant
representative MMUP Typical Street Sections,
thus the typical sections are developed by
referencing Residential and Commercial
Sections where relevant.

KEY
VOLUME II SECTION 06 - THEME A
The Culture and Heritage Theme demands a
sensitive approach to public realm interventions,
driven by the heavy flow of visitors and the variety
of destinations in the urban fabric. The street
layout reflects the character of the area. Local
destinations will support denser clusters of street
furniture within the streetscape, whereas the
interconnecting street corridors will be
characterised by minimal and modest layout,
reducing constraints to movement.
Improved walkability is one of the major principles,
providing wide, clear pedestrian routes responding
to the needs of nearby visitor attractions and daily
life. The urban fabric and land use suggests that
sufficient car parking should be provided outside
the right of way, to reduce numbers of on street
parking spaces. Streets are wide to encourage and
accommodate a variety of landscape elements to
enhance public interaction and create a series of
gathering opportunities for visitors to the area.

Alturathiyya
Qatar Public Realm Guidelines
.12m
Crossings at junctions and mid-block
crossings to be provided to help with
pedestrian flow between destinations and
to help maintain slow vehicle speeds.
Appropriate paving materials to be used to
guide the visually impaired to the
crossings.
Signage to be located within the furniture
or parking zone, where appropriate.
Shared space road design in pedestrian
priority areas. All shared space/ flush
kerbs to have public realm protected with
bollards/ furniture/ planting to prevent
unauthorized parking.
Cultural trail to be incorporated into
streetscape through art at feature nodes
to create interest and continue desire
lines.
As drinking fountains were traditionally
provided at corners, incorporate
contemporary reinterpretation with water
feature reference within cultural precincts.
Shaded areas to be provided at regular intervals
(trees / canopy / shelter) and at key junctions/
destinations.
Trees to be planted on both sides of the street
where possible to provide shade.
Flowering trees to be located at corners/junctions
within a refuge areas to serve as visual landmarks.
Along the street, tree shade to be provided for
pedestrians at 30m maximum intervals
Existing street trees to be respected, retained and
maintained where possible.

A.12m/Planting corridor/clear footpath
• For locations where asymmetrical roads are
utilized to create larger pedestrian footway zones
a minimum footway width of 1.8m must be
provided on either side of the ROW. This minimum
1.8m must be clear of all signage, lighting, street
trees and other vertical obstructions, if required
the ROW design must allow for these elements to
be installed in bump out areas and not within the
footway.
• For posted speeds of 50kmph or less, the clearway
zone is a minimum of 0.6m and a maximum of
1.0m.

Guidelines

Colour plan
Public Realm Zoning Guidelines
General principle: The mobility network for
pedestrians to be continuous and joined-up without
impediment to disabled users. Priority to be given to
pedestrians by providing a clear pedestrian corridor,
unobstructed by parking, vehicular access or utilities.
Local distinctiveness to be maintained where this is
established; Clutter to be reduced to a minimum and
public realm unified.
Footway zone
• A minimum width of footway to be provided, free
of physical obstructions such as highway signage,
street trees, street furniture, utility boxes, pipe
work and man-hole covers.
Planting & furniture zone
• Planting and furniture zone is clearly delineated.
Planting and furniture to be co-located such that
public realm seating will be shaded by trees.
Where appropriate, the replication of historic
furniture should be accurate both in terms of its
fabrication and setting (Please refer to Vol.III
Section 04.)
Parking zone
• Parking areas to be designed to mitigate the visual
impact on the public realm.
Road zone
• Road zone to be designed to guide driving
behaviours, and give priority to pedestrians.
Cycle lane
• Cyclists will share the vehicular lanes on smaller
streets. Dedicated cycle tracks/lanes to be
provided on ROWs 32m and above. On large
streets, where enough width is available, cycle
lane to be incorporated within the pavement zone.
Buffer/ Clearway zone
• Clearway zone from front of kerb to tree planting,
street lights and other vertical elements.
Median
• Planting along central medians to be provided.
