The Doha Corniche (Arabic: كورنيش الدوحة) is a waterfront promenade and dual carriageway extending for seven kilometres (4.3 mi) along the crescent-shaped Doha Bay in Qatar's capital city, Doha.[1] A lush, semi-circular linear public space, the Corniche serves as the central location for national celebrations, including Qatar National Day Parade and National Sports Day, as well as various religious, civic, and sporting events, making it one of the most popular tourist and recreational destinations in Qatar.[2]
The Corniche links the modern central business district of Al Dafna in the north to the historic sections of old Doha in the south. It serves as a route for vehicular and pedestrian traffic, a continuous strip of open space, and a symbol of Doha's modernization.[3]
