Doha Port renovated for tourists in time for the World Cup

The Old Doha Port has been renovated and decorated with new multicolored buildings and beautiful landscapes in preparation for the FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022.

According to Al Raya, the development of the port area into a tourist marina included the construction of the port neighborhood as well as the provision of numerous services to visitors, such as a commercial market, a fish market, retail stores, restaurants and cafes, a hotel, mooring berths for boats and ships, and bicycle and walking paths. There is also a terminal for large cruise ships in the port.

Doha's port, which cost 2 billion riyals to build, is anticipated to become a permanent port for receiving cruise ships and one of the capital's tourism attractions. With the completion of the development project and the expansion of the port's ability to accommodate two super-skilled boats at the same time, Qatar is projected to attract 500,000 guests on cruise ships by 2026.
