30m from nose to tail, this impressive scenic steel structure certainly delivered the ‘wow factor’ at the World Cup 2022 in Qatar.
The Whale Shark is one of the largest known fish species and was one of the biggest scenic pieces to swim through our workshops
With the world’s eyes on Qatar, the art installation Whale Shark, known as ‘Al Nehem’, was commissioned in celebration of the Lusail’s development and was designed to raise awareness for one of the largest endangered animals in the world.
