About this experience

Experience the ultimate sea-level perspective of Qatar’s capital on your signature cruise.

Your journey begins at the Mina District, where the cobblestone streets and candy-colored buildings of the Old Doha Port create a Mediterranean-style backdrop. You’ll see the Grand Cruise Terminal, a masterpiece of modern design inspired by traditional Arabian arches, standing as the new gateway to the city.

As we sail along the southern curve of the bay, witness two of Doha’s most striking landmarks:

Stadium 974: Marvel at the world’s first "dismountable" stadium, a colorful industrial marvel built from shipping containers that pays homage to the port’s history.

The National Museum of Qatar: From the water, Jean Nouvel’s "Desert Rose" architecture truly comes to life.

The Grand Finale: The West Bay Skyline
As the boat turns toward the heart of the city, the "Glass Forest" of West Bay rises before you.

Detailed itinerary

The "Desert Rose" Silhouette
As your boat approaches the coastline near the Old Doha Port, the museum’s unique silhouette takes center stage.

Interlocking Disks: From a distance, you see hundreds of sand-colored disks of varying sizes and curvatures. Designed by architect Jean Nouvel, these "petals" recreate the desert rose, a mineral crystal that forms in Qatar's coastal salt flats.

The Horizon Line: Unlike the vertical skyscrapers nearby, the NMoQ is sprawling and horizontal. From the sea, it appears to "hug" the ground, creating a soft, organic contrast to the jagged skyline of the city behind it.

Viewing Stadium 974Click to open side panel for more information from the sea offers a unique perspective on one of the world's most innovative sports structures. Situated right on the water's edge, its colorful, modular design is best appreciated from a boat or dhow cruising along the Doha coastline.

Stop 3

When you look at West Bay from the sea, you are viewing the architectural heart of modern Qatar. While the city is experienced on land as a series of busy streets, from the water it transforms into a silent, shimmering "forest of glass and steel.
