The charms of Doha

Upon arrival of your cruise, our guide will be waiting for you at the port, identified with the Shore2Shore sign.

Qatar, one of the world’s leading oil producers and one of the fastest-developing nations, 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 richness of this vibrant destination.

We will begin our tour along the Corniche, a beautiful coastal promenade stretching along the bay and offering spectacular views of the city. We’ll make a stop to take photos of this iconic spot before heading to the Katara Cultural Village. This complex reflects Qatar’s traditional architecture and serves as a hub for cultural, intellectual, and artistic activities, hosting festivals, exhibitions, and concerts. The Katara Amphitheatre, an impressive fusion of Islamic art and classical Greek style, stands out here.

Our next stop will be The Pearl-Qatar, an exclusive complex of artificial islands that hosts luxurious villas, high-end hotels, bars, restaurants, and entertainment venues. We will make a photo stop in this luxurious setting.

We’ll then head to the lively Souq Waqif, a traditional market offering a vibrant mix of spices, gold, crafts, pets, and art. We will also see the Arabian falcon and camels in their typical surroundings. From there, we will visit the Msheireb Museums, located in the heart of Doha’s old center. 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 farewell.
