Al-Corniche
CORNICHE
( )
The highlight of Doha is unquestionably the corniche. Doha Bay was carefully
constructed with landfill to make an attractive crescent, along which runs shaded foot-
paths and cycling tracks. One great way to gain an introduction to the city is to begin at
the Ras Abu Abboud St Flyover at the southeastern end of the corniche and either walk or
drive around to the Sheraton Doha Hotel & Resort, looking out for the prominent land-
marks.
