How to Reach QNCC by Metro
Now let us checkout how to reach QNCC by metro.
Musheireb metro station > Green Line Metro Route (towards Al Riffa) > Exit in the nearest station to QNCC (Qatar National Library Metro station) > Pick a Taxi.
- If you are coming from places outside Doha to QNCC, then you have to depend on Karwa bus, which is the public transportaion bus service to different parts of the country. You can download the Karwa Bus mobile app to see available routes and bus timing.
- As Doha Metro is only operating in the important parts of Doha city, as you are coming from outside Doha, you have to find a bus coming to the capital city – Doha.
- The Doha Bus Station is known as Al Ghanim Bus Station, which is the main bus station in Doha – Qatar. But, the station is said to close in 2022.
For this, I suggest to pick a bus route that has stop in Musheireb. Musheireb is the junction of Doha Metro service. Means, you can get any metro train from Mushereb metro station to anywhere.
Now, purchase a metro ticket and enter the next metro train to Al Riffa, which is the last stop of the green metro line. Now, you can exit in the nearest stop to QNCC, which is Qatar National Library metro station.
QNCC is nearly 3.5 kms away from Qatar National Library. So I recommend picking a taxi ride to QNCC (if you use Uber taxi, the cost of this ride will be just ~ QAR 8).
Cost of travel to QNCC by metro
- Karwa bus to Doha (Musheireb): Minimum charge is QAR 2.50 (refer Karwa Bus app for exact ticket fare).
- Metro ride: Musheireb metro station to Qatar National Library metro station = QAR 2
- Qatar National Library to QNCC: Taxi = ~ QAR 8 (Uber).

- If its hard for you to walk, I suggest go for an Uber taxi ride which costs just QAR 8 (approx.).
