Doha: The salient feature of the Post Office Plaza’s design is inspired by Qatari postage stamps, which will create the first impression among the visitor as a spatial and functional extension of the Q-Post building because of its important place in the hearts of the people of Qatar over the past years. 

Eng. Maryam Al Kuwari, Project Design Manager at the Supervisory Committee of Beautification of Roads and Public Places in Qatar, said that the Post Office Square project, which the Supervisory Committee of Beautification of Roads and Public Places in Qatar has begun implementation from August 2019, to be an entertainment destination serving the residents of the neighborhoods.

The plaza will consist of three interconnected postal stamps forming harmonious lines and open spaces to be used for conducting events and festivals at a distinguished location in the heart of the city near Q-Post building and Doha Corniche, with proximity to Corniche Metro Station.

The project includes 14,400 square metres of open green areas with around 200 trees, with dedicated areas for family leisure and sport areas. The project also includes construction of around 450 metres of jogging tracks, around 500 metres of cycling paths, as well as a walkway.

Visitors to Post Office Plaza can use the car parks designated for the post office building adjacent to the plaza. It is noteworthy that the Post Office Plaza Project is a people with special needs friendly project with additional ramps and dedicated parking spaces connected to the plaza.
