Absolutely beautiful to walk along at night, the views and the lighting are beautiful. Take a wander from the Souks up to the amazing parks along the Corniche

Although there are no specific monuments along the Corniche, it offers a lot of possibilities for a leisure stroll and people watching.

Great promenade along the Corniche. A culturally welcome change from the sterile shopping malls of the UAE

Worth a vist and a walk around. Appreciated the architecture and the way in which older buildings are externally maintained. The parking meters are a curse if you don't have change!

Not a dining destination and can suffer with heavy traffic but good to sit and watch the fish in the bay and do some people watching. The Muttrah souk is mostly aimed at tourists but good to see.

The Corniche is worth a visit especially in the evening when it is bustling. Parking can be hard.

A walk on the Muttrah Corniche is surely going to be a delightful experience. Best time is early mornings or at dusk.
