Doha Corniche is a stunning 7-kilometer waterfront promenade that curves along Doha Bay, offering spectacular views of the city’s skyline and the Arabian Gulf. It serves as a vibrant public space where locals and visitors come to walk, jog, cycle, and relax by the water. The Corniche stretches from the National Museum of Qatar in the south to the West Bay district in the north, connecting several key cultural and recreational spots.
Along the promenade, visitors can explore landmarks such as the Museum of Islamic Art, the iconic Sheraton Hotel, and Al Bidda Park. The Corniche also features notable public art installations, including Richard Serra’s “7” sculpture and Jeff Koons’ “Dugong” sculpture near the Museum of Islamic Art. The Dhow Harbour showcases Qatar’s maritime heritage, and the Flag Plaza displays the flags of countries with diplomatic ties to Qatar, adding a colorful and educational element to the experience.
The Corniche is especially lively during national events like Qatar National Day and National Sports Day, making it an essential part of Doha’s cultural and social life. Its well-paved paths and accessibility features make it welcoming for people of all ages and abilities.
