About this tour
Discover Doha from two unforgettable perspectives on a private city sightseeing tour combined with a traditional dhow boat cruise along the Corniche.
Travel in a comfortable, air-conditioned private vehicle with an experienced English-speaking driver-guide and explore Doha’s traditional heritage, cultural landmarks, waterfront attractions and modern districts at a relaxed pace. Your experience begins with convenient pickup from your hotel, residence, Hamad International Airport, Doha Cruise Terminal or another confirmed location within Doha. Drive along the scenic Doha Corniche and enjoy panoramic views of Doha Bay, traditional wooden dhow boats and the striking West Bay skyline.
Explore Souq Waqif, Doha’s famous traditional marketplace, where restored heritage streets are filled with spices, perfumes, handicrafts, souvenirs, restaurants and local cafés. Continue to Katara Cultural Village to discover its mosque, amphitheatre, art spaces, heritage architecture and beachfront surroundings. Visit The Pearl-Qatar, Doha’s luxury man-made island, and explore the colourful Qanat Quartier, known for its canals, pedestrian bridges, marina views and European-inspired architecture.
The signature experience is a traditional dhow boat cruise from the Doha Corniche. Step aboard a wooden dhow and enjoy approximately 30 minutes on Doha Bay, with unobstructed views of the Corniche, Museum of Islamic Art surroundings and West Bay skyline. With private city transportation, flexible sightseeing stops and a dhow cruise included in one booking, this experience offers a convenient introduction to Doha for couples, families, friends, business travellers, transit passengers, cruise guests and first-time visitors.
The private vehicle is reserved exclusively for your booking. The dhow cruise may be shared with other passengers unless a private charter is specifically selected or confirmed
