Traditional Wooden Dhow Boat Ride:
No visit to Doha would be complete without experiencing a traditional wooden Dhow boat ride. These iconic vessels have been used by fishermen and traders in the region for centuries and offer a unique perspective of the city from the water. As we cruise along the coastline, guests can relax and take in the sights of Doha's skyline and waterfront landmarks while enjoying the gentle breeze and warm sunshine.
