Upon arrival of your cruise, our guide will be waiting for you at the port identified with the Shore2Shore sign.
Qatar, one of the main oil producers and one of the fastest-growing nations in the world, offers a fascinating blend of modernity and tradition. Today, we will explore its capital, Doha, visiting the most emblematic sites that highlight the cultural and architectural wealth of this vibrant destination.
We will begin our tour along the Corniche, a beautiful coastal promenade that stretches along the bay, offering spectacular views of the city. We will make a stop to take photos of this iconic place before heading to the Katara Cultural Village. This complex reflects Qatar’s traditional architecture and is a center for cultural, intellectual, and artistic activities, with festivals, exhibitions, and concerts. Here, the Katara Amphitheatre stands out, an impressive fusion of Islamic art and classical Greek style.
Our next destination will be The Pearl Qatar, an exclusive artificial island complex that houses luxurious villas, high-end hotels, bars, restaurants, and entertainment centers. We will take the opportunity to make a photo stop at this luxury location.
Next, we will venture into the lively Souq Waqif, a traditional market offering a vibrant mix of spices, gold, handicrafts, pets, and art. We will also be able to admire the Arabian falcon and camels in their typical environment. From here, we will head to the Msheireb Museums, located in the heart of Doha’s old town. These museums celebrate Qatar’s history through four historic houses that reveal key aspects of the country’s cultural and social development.
At the end of the tour, we will return to the port for the farewell
