The Red Line is a rapid transit line of the Doha Metro in Qatar. It runs north-south through Doha, from its southern terminus at Al Wakrah to its northern terminus at Lusail, with a spur serving Hamad International Airport.[1] It was the first line of the system, with the first segment opened on 8 May 2019.[2]
