About Doha Corniche
The Doha Corniche is a sweeping, roughly 7 km waterfront promenade that curves along Doha Bay, linking many of the city's major landmarks and offering some of the best views of its striking modern skyline. On one side, the glass towers of West Bay rise dramatically above the water, while the promenade itself is lined with palm trees, gardens, cycling paths and seating areas.
The corniche connects several of Doha's key attractions, including the Museum of Islamic Art at its southern end, making it a natural route for an evening walk, jog or cycle. As the sun sets, the West Bay skyline lights up and reflects across the bay, making the Corniche one of the most popular and rewarding places in the city for photography and simply enjoying the sea breeze.
