Al Corniche, Waterfront promenade in Doha, Qatar
The Doha Corniche stretches for seven kilometers along Doha Bay, forming a crescent-shaped path with views of the modern skyline and dhow harbor.
The development of the Corniche began in 1969 through land reclamation projects near Doha Bay, marking Qatar's transformation after gaining independence from Britain.
The Museum of Islamic Art, designed by I.M. Pei, stands at the southern end of the Corniche, displaying extensive collections of Islamic artifacts and art.
Visitors can access multiple recreational zones, including Al Bidda Park and Al Dafna Park, which offer sports facilities, walking paths, and children's play areas.
Traditional wooden dhows line the harbor, offering evening cruises where passengers observe the illuminated city skyline while dining on local specialties.
