What used to be the Old Doha Port has been completely transformed into a vibrant tourist attraction. Following four years of construction work, Doha Port now houses a stunning Grand Terminal building where impressive cruise ships dock during the winter cruise season. A short walk from the newly renovated Doha Port, the Mina District radiates a warm ambience with its vibrant painted buildings lining Doha’s waters.
