Read moreThe new walkway of Katara Beach extends for over than 1 km and is entirely made of Novowood Copper Brown decking. In one of the most exclusive beaches of Qatar, a luxury tourist attraction renowned for its recreational activities that combine relaxation and water sports, our Novowood composite wood is the perfect finishing product, up to the demanding of the structure’s customers. Its high-quality finish finds maximum expression in the construction of this walkway a few meters from the sea, which connects small accommodation oasis, where visitors can spend relaxing moments lulled by the sound of the waves. The color Copper Brown emerges with its strong character from the golden sands of Katara Beach, infusing a dreamlike refinement to the beach, in stark contrast, but at the same time perfectly contextualized with the modern and futuristic Doha skyline.
