The Orchard, Doha Airport’s Indoor Tropical Garden.
The Orchard is an 6,000 sq meter indoor tropical garden located at the Centre of the newly expanded terminal. One of its most attractive features is the 575 sq meter water feature which is an aquatic plant fitted into a sustainable bio pond, that will be the focal point for visitors at Hamad International Airport.
With a host of different flora, The ORCHARD features over 300 trees and more than 25,000 plants sourced from sustainable forests from around the world.
The unique design of the area allows trees and plants to easily adapt to the internal conditions and grow throughout the life of the airport - with natural light to create calming ambiance and promote a sense of wellbeing to all who venture inside.
The construction of the new cargo warehouses will have facility with two temperature zones and allow for 20 landside truck docks for collection of import cargo. The warehouse will also have customer service office with 32 counters.
In late 2022, Doha Hamad Airport (DOH) underwent a significant expansion. Not only did this roughly double the airport’s annual capacity (from 29 million to 58 million), but it also marked the opening of The Orchard, the airport’s huge new garden feature. I finally had the chance to check this out during my recent visit to the airport, so wanted to report back.
The expansion really takes Qatar Airways’ hub to the next level, not just in terms of capacity, but also in terms of passenger experience.
