The Lusail Tram (ترام لوسيل), formerly Lusail LRT, is a light rail network in the Lusail urban development project north of Doha, the capital of Qatar. The first phase of the system, a six-station stretch of the Orange Line, opened to the public with "preview service" on January 1, 2022.[4]

The Lusail Tram will be operated and maintained for a duration of 20 years by RKH Qitarat, a joint venture formed by Hamad Group (51%) and French transit operators Keolis and RATP Dev (49%), on behalf of system owner Qatar Rail.[2][5] It is operated by a fleet of 35 Alstom Citadis trams.[6][7]
