Take a walk on the palm fringed Al Corniche promenade in Doha in the evening and see the dhows, the traditional Arab sailing vessels with triangular sails, silhouetted against the setting sun. Give in to your curiosity and take a trip on these traditional wooden boats and enjoy the panoramic view of Doha city from the water. The trip is a voyage of discovery whatever time of day you chose to take it. During the day visitors can disembark at Safiya Island and enjoy a stroll on the beach, swim in the warm tropical waters of the Arabian Gulf or relax with a shisha (water pipe) filled fruit flavoured tobacco and watch the world go by. Enjoy the sumptuous buffet below deck or eat on deck with the wind in your hair. Get a different perspective of the city of Doha and its surroundings from the water with a dhow cruise.

It is said the best time to enjoy a dhow cruise is at sunset when the weather is cooler and the waters of the Gulf are tinged with the colours of the setting sun while the nightlights of the city come on and the stars come out overhead.

Dhow cruising is a favourite with visitors and locals alike wanting to spend a quiet day on the water. The basic wooden fishing boat is kitted up with air conditioning below decks, comfortable seating on deck and on occasion there is even a band on board to liven up the passengers and give them the best experience possible. Cruises start around the harbour and go far out to sea. They can be customized according to individual requirements. It does not cost too much to enjoy the cool breeze some great food and company and even some music and it is the best way to relax in Doha and enjoy an all round experience involving sightseeing, culture and cuisine under one roof.
