In 1986, a small group of businessmen were publishing a newspaper called "Gulf Today". A year later, the ownership of the newspaper was transferred to different shareholders who had a vision for the media environment in Qatar and have since worked relentlessly to make Dar Al Sharq Group what it stands for today: the most renowned and powerful integrated media house in Qatar. Lusail News is considered as Dar Al Sharqs most recent 11th subsidiary. The expectation for this newspapers success is beyond outstanding as Al Lusail is considered to be Qatars new capital soon.
