01 / The experience

Discover Qatar sunset dhow cruise

A wooden dhow offers a lovely way to see the waterfront after a few days exploring Doha on land. Discover Qatar’s shared sunset cruise sails from Porto Arabia at The Pearl, taking the evening onto the water for two hours before returning to the same marina.

Water, coffee and tea are included, with guiding during the trip. You can make an afternoon of The Pearl beforehand, walking along the marina and leaving time to reach the meeting point at Gate 31. Dinner afterwards gives the outing a natural finish; the sailing itself does not include a meal.

The November programme lists 16:00–18:00, so this belongs on a free day before or after the circuit weekend. It is an attractive option when you want time on the water without arranging a private charter. The return boat brings you back to The Pearl, where a booked car or a local connection to Legtaifiya starts the journey to your hotel.
