Arches Monument, Steel monument at Lusail Expressway interchange, Doha, Qatar
The Arches Monument is a steel structure at the Lusail Expressway interchange in Doha, composed of two intersecting arches that tower over the surrounding area. The construction uses steel sections and has become a prominent landmark marking this busy intersection.
Construction began in 2013 and was completed in 2020, replacing an earlier structure that had occupied the site. Regional circumstances during the building period extended the project timeline.
The monument earned international recognition through the 2020 International Design Award and appears on commemorative stamps released by Qatar Post in 2018.
The structure can be viewed from multiple points along the expressway and surrounding roads, offering different perspectives depending on your location. It is best seen during daylight hours, and visitors should watch for traffic when approaching viewing areas.
The monument features integrated lighting systems that create illuminated displays during national celebrations and special occasions. These evening light shows transform the structure into a glowing focal point after sunset.
