Qatar's position as one of the safest countries according to the latest rankings of cities and countries makes the country a preferred destination for tourists worldwide.
The tourism sector in Qatar has been defined as one of five priority sectors integral to diversifying its economy and increasing private sector participation.
The country’s status on global safety reports and the actual situation on the ground, as well as concerted plans and strategies, have set Qatar on course to attract tourists from the region and different parts of the world. Qatar sees the involvement of international investors as essential for developing a tourism industry rich in its culture and Arabian generous hospitality.
Qatar provides diverse and exceptional experiences to tourists with impressive architecture, natural reserves, historic forts, international resorts and all kinds of facilities needed for tourists to relax and be entertained.
Within the framework of these efforts, the vital role of Doha Port, emerging as an attractive destination for cruises carrying thousands of tourists, should be emphasised.
Many facilities at the new terminal at Doha Port are designed with attention to the smallest details and according to the highest international standards to offer visitors a safe, comfortable, and seamless experience.
According to the latest reports, the Grand Cruise Terminal, which can host two megaships at a time, has been named one of the world’s most beautiful cruise terminals by Forbes.
Qatar Tourism (QT) and Mwani Qatar also announced the return of the 2022/2023 cruise season and forecast Qatar will receive more than 50 cruise liners with approximately 200,000 visitors from now to the end of April 2023.
Doha Port’s strategic location in the heart of the city is truly unique and offers visitors an excellent opportunity to make the most of their time in Doha. The port’s location is ideal for international tourists because they can reach iconic landmarks, including the National Museum of Qatar, Souq Waqif, Msheireb Downtown Doha, and the Doha Corniche, where visitors can take in stunning views of the city’s skyline.
The presence of the giant cruises is becoming a familiar sight for Doha citizens and residents, and it emphasises Qatar’s increasing profile as a preferred destination for both regular cruise calls and cruises with turnaround calls.
The country can welcome thousands of new travellers willing to experience a combination of old and new from when they dock and through the city.
Rolling on from the World Cup boom, Qatar is looking forward to a thriving tourism season that will contribute to strengthening the cruise industry and maintaining its position as a leading tourism hub in the region.
