Old Doha Port & Mina District
ميناء الدوحة القديم
A colorful waterfront district on a converted old port, home to rainbow-colored houses, a cruise terminal and seafood restaurants.
The Old Doha Port lies east of the Museum of Islamic Art. It was converted into a cruise terminal and leisure area in the 2020s. Its Mina District has low-rise buildings painted in bright yellow, blue and pink, which have become a popular new photo spot. The district has cafés, seafood restaurants, handicraft shops and a marina for sailing boats, and visitors can see cruise ships and traditional wooden boats moored here. Entry is free. Getting there: take a taxi from Corniche metro station or Souq Waqif for about 5 minutes, or walk about 15 minutes from MIA Park. It can be combined with a visit to the Corniche.
