=== Doha Metro ===
In June 2013, Qatar Rail awarded four design and build contracts worth approximately $8.2 billion for phase one of the Doha metro. The project included four rail lines and an underground section in the center of the capital Doha, and links to stadiums for the [[2022 FIFA World Cup]] soccer tournament. The contracts were for the Red Line North project, the Red Line South project, the Green Line project and another one to design and build the metro's major stations. The projects are expected to employ more than 20,000 workers at its peak, construction is scheduled to begin later this year for completion by 2019. Metro construction was originally planned to start in the first quarter of 2010.<ref>{{Cite web | title =Qatar Railways Development Company - Doha Metro Network | work =Projects Monitor | publisher =Zawya | year =2010 | url =http://www.zawya.com/projects/project.cfm/pid220108125606?cc | access-date =2 December 2010 }}</ref>
