Overview

Evenings in Doha have a rhythm of their own. And there’s no better way to experience it than from the calm waters of the Arabian Gulf. The Doha Sunset Cruise takes you out on a traditional wooden dhow, where the city skyline fades into soft gold, and time seems to slow.

This isn’t just a boat ride — it’s a quiet escape. You’ll sail along the Corniche Doha, passing landmarks like Katara Cultural Village, The Pearl Qatar, and Box Park, while the lights of the city begin to shimmer on the water. The view is uninterrupted, the breeze is gentle, and everything about the experience feels effortless.

Whether you’re new to Doha or have seen it a hundred times, there’s something different about seeing it from the sea. As the sun begins to drop behind the buildings, the entire Doha skyline reflects a golden hue — from West Bay’s towers to the distant lights of Doha Marina.

The boat itself is part of the charm. Traditional in style, the dhow offers comfortable seating, open-air views, and space to relax. No noise, no rush — just the soft sound of water and the kind of peace that only comes on a sunset boat ride.

Who Is This For?

This cruise is ideal for:

Visitors wanting to enjoy a scenic Doha boat tour
Couples looking for a peaceful evening dhow cruise
Families or small groups seeking a relaxing experience on the Doha Sea tour
Travelers interested in Qatari maritime heritage
Solo guests who appreciate slow travel and city views
Anyone who wants to take in a sunset cruise Qatar-style

It’s calm, easy, and fully guided by the rhythm of the water.
