Doha

Seemingly emerging effortlessly from the calm waters of Doha Bay, the city of Doha is a polished Gulf capital that offers landmark culture, high-end hospitality, and waterfront cruising. An increasingly popular charter destination, the crescent-shaped Doha Corniche offers a natural cruising itinerary ideal for skyline viewing across West Bay. Offering a blend of modern infrastructure and traditional landmarks, marinas at The Pearl-Qatar and Lusail offer berthing facilities, fine dining, and access to high-end retail. Best known for its authentic and immersive culture, Doha’s appeal extends beyond the city’s architectural grandeur. The Museum of Islamic Art, designed by I. M. Pei, anchors the city’s cultural offering with collections spanning centuries and regions of the Islamic world. The National Museum of Qatar provides a captivating narrative of Qatar’s development, including its pearling heritage. For a more down-to-earth atmosphere, Souq Waqif remains a focal point for spices, textiles, and local cooking, while Katara Cultural Village hosts exhibitions and performances. Offshore, out on the open waters, sheltered Gulf conditions are ideal for swimming and watersports, and short cruising paths allow day trips towards desert-meets-sea scenery at Khor Al Adaid. In addition, as Doha is positioned centrally in the Gulf, it is a practical springboard for itineraries linking Bahrain and onward routes towards the UAE and Oman.
