The Trump Organization, led by U.S. President Donald Trump, announced its first real estate venture in the Gulf region with a $3 billion investment in Qatar’s large-scale Simaisma luxury resort project.
The agreement was signed on Wednesday between Qatari Diar, one of Qatar's leading real estate firms, and DarGlobal, a subsidiary of the Trump Organization. The project will be located approximately 40 kilometers (25 miles) north of Doha.
According to a statement from DarGlobal, the development will feature the “Trump International Golf Club” and “Trump Villas.” Spanning roughly 790,000 square meters (8.5 million square feet), the site will include an 18-hole championship golf course, a clubhouse, and high-end branded villas with direct beachfront access.
The signing ceremony took place at Qatari Diar’s headquarters in Lusail. Attendees included Abdullah bin Hamad bin Abdullah Al Attiya, Qatar’s minister of municipalities and chairman of Qatari Diar; Eric Trump, executive vice president of the Trump Organization; and senior executives from both companies.
The agreement was formally signed by Ali Mohammed Al-Ali, CEO of Qatari Diar, and Ziad El Chaar, CEO of DarGlobal.
“We are immensely proud to bring the Trump brand to Qatar through this exceptional collaboration with DarGlobal. This debut marks an exciting new chapter in our global expansion, bringing our signature standard of excellence and world-class experiences to this dynamic market," said Eric Trump.
"Trump International Golf Club, Doha, together with our exclusive villa community, will embody the highest levels of quality, prestige, and timeless elegance that define the Trump name," he added.
El Chaar said DarGlobal is “honored to partner with The Trump Organization to deliver this iconic development. With the Trump brand’s global prestige and our deep expertise in creating world-class residential destinations, Trump International Golf Club, Doha will raise the bar for ultra-luxury coastal living in the region."
The project, touted as a new cultural landmark, will extend along a 7-kilometer stretch of the Simaisma coast on Qatar’s eastern shoreline.
It will also include a $5.5 billion theme park, “Land of Legends Qatar,” along with 16 tourism zones, a marina, and world-renowned restaurants and shops.
While the project is aimed at becoming one of Qatar’s most prominent landmarks, the “Land of Legends Qatar” is expected to be among the largest theme parks in the Middle East.
The development is also designed with a focus on sustainability and will incorporate smart construction technologies and recycled local materials.
The Simaisma Project forms part of Qatar's broader efforts to strengthen its tourism and entertainment sectors and attract foreign investment, in line with the country’s National Vision 2030.
