✈ How to get from Doha Airport to Lusail Stadium

Lusail is Qatar’s biggest stadium and one of the main attractions in Doha, not only among sports fans, thanks to its impressive architecture. If you plan to get from Doha Airport to Lusail Stadium to attend an event or simply because you wish to start your trip there, you can easily do so either by taxi or metro.

Taking an airport taxi or pre-booking a personalised airport transfer is the most convenient transportation option to reach your destination fast and comfortably in a private vehicle. Taxis are very reliable and use taximeters to calculate the fare; a ride from Doha International Airport to Lusail Stadium will cost on average €10 (QAR 40) for up to 4 passengers and the drive will take about 30 minutes in light traffic.

A more budget-friendly alternative is to use the local metro, with a single adult fare at €0.50 (QAR 2); the red line directly connects Doha Airport to Lusail Stadium so the journey takes only about 50 minutes if you take into account some walking that is needed to get to the metro station.

Editor’s Note

If you don't want to spend much on transportation, using the metro is a great way to save money, especially if you're travelling alone and you’re experienced using public transport in foreign cities. For larger groups, taking a taxi will be more comfortable and the fare will not be that much higher compared to the cost of all the tickets for 4 people or more.
