Cruise to Doha, Qatar

Doha shore excursions, amazing experiences coming soon., sorry, there are no excursions for this port at this moment., things to do in doha.

See You at the Souq

Colourful textiles on show at a shop in Souq Waqif market, Doha, Qatar

The traditional Souq Waqif is a mesmerizing place to explore. There's been a market here for centuries, though the original one was destroyed in a fire in 2003. Today, the area has been redeveloped to resemble a 19th-century market, with mud-rendered shops and beautifully restored Qatari buildings.

Fortress of the Arts

The geometric architecture of the Museum of Islamic Art in Doha, Qatar

The extraordinary building of the Museum of Islamic Art is located on a purpose-built island. Marvel at the largest collection of Islamic art in the world — you'll see everything from traditional Persian rugs and ancient jewelry to astrolabes, an astronomer's tool used in medieval times — and admire the splendid views across the water.

Walk on Water

Join the Qataris and the large number of expats for a stroll along the corniche, a manmade waterfront promenade built to form an attractive crescent. Cruise to Doha to admire the spectacular view of traditional wooden boats in the foreground and the futuristic skyscrapers of West Bay that lie across the water on land reclaimed from the sea.

Local Cuisine

The diverse people who built Doha also brought with them their home cuisines, which means you can sample food from anywhere in the world. For the most distinctive bites, try simple, traditional Qatari dishes like kabsa, which pairs chicken marinated in tomatoes and spices with fried almonds and raisins over rice, or thareed, a hearty stew of carrots, beans and potatoes with chicken or lamb.

Browse the shops in the traditional Souq Waqif for perfumes, textiles, carpets and handicrafts. Visit the Falcon Souq, the Gold Souq, and the Bird Souq too. Doha cruises give you access to countless shopping malls, like City Center Doha, Landmark and the Venetia-themed Villaggio, offer a mix of dining, shopping and entertainment.

Doha, Qatar Cruises

Doha is the capital of Qatar and the most populous city on the coast of the Persian Gulf in the east of the country, north of Al Wakrah, and South of Al Khor. Whether it's the stunning and constantly changing skyline or the massive investments, Qatari authorities make in landmark cultural icons. This multicultural city is home to most of the country's population and expatriate communities. It has been rising from the desert and is an ambition brought to life by the world's most talented architects and their teams. Now, you can turn your transit in Doha into an incredible experience while discovering Qatar on a Qatar cruise trip vacation. A Doha cruise trip can be a great way to experience all that the city has to offer, as well as the surrounding areas of the Persian Gulf.

Doha Highlights

In 2022, the city slated to host the soccer World Cup will be the hub of one of Asia's most dynamic economies. The city's impressive skyline is constantly enhanced by new wonders, which makes it a popular tourist destination. You can also enjoy a wide variety of cultural festivals. It's the place to be if you want to see the latest international films or the best Arabic musical performances. A few highlights of Doha can be found here.

1. Creating Its Own Future

As skyscrapers sprout from the ground like palm trees in a desert oasis, Doha is paving its way into the future. Although it's in a development phase, the city remains relatively small. It is ideal for short-term visitors because sights like museums, galleries, and souks are easily accessible. The fact that the city is not forgetting its tradition and history while it undergoes such rapid development is comforting. Doha keeps one foot firmly in the past even as it strives to create a bright future.

2. Eating and Drinking

You can sample all the indulgent sweet and savory dishes of Qatari cuisine while on a cruise to Doha. Qatari cuisine features bold flavors combining influences from Africa , India , and the Mediterranean . Qatari cuisine uses rose water, Yemeni honey, dates, and camel meat cooked to a tender state. The most popular Qatari dish is Machboos, a thinly sliced grilled meat wrap served at lunchtime. You'll find this traditional dish in local restaurants around Souq Waqif, where it's similar to Indian biryani.

3. Shopping

A serious pastime in Doha is shopping, which includes everything from big names in fashion to fragrant spices. The Pearl is an artificial island in the city where you can enjoy the city's best shopping experience. This futuristic suburb is awash from the coast of Doha with luxury labels. It represents international fashion's crème de la crème. The historical Souq Waqif occupies the opposite end of the spectrum.
