What to say, maybe is nice. Compared it with Abu Dhabi one, so I was a little dissapointed. Has a great view, but I don't like the people who are sitting in the grass and are taking away all the intimacy and the pleasure to walk.

A perfect place in Doha to takea gentle walk (you will not want to walk fast in the heat) and marvel at the skyscrapers and wathc the world go by. You can even park the car.

Popular with runners and cyclists particularly on the weekend. Lots of places to stop for coffee or cold drink.

104 F during our visit and no shade make this an evening type activity.. Beautiful walk in full view of the new skyline and the Persian Gulf. Photographed the traditional boats along the way.

It can be a pleasant walk (or maybe a jog if you can handle the heat) along the water's edge. The road nearby is a problem though, especially if you want to stroll through the nearby park - pedestrian crossings are not adhered to (pedestrian traffic in general is a sore point in Qatar).

The Corniche is a fun place to walk but NOT during the summer hot days unless you are prepared to get sunburned. It is wonderful place to walk, but with the heavy traffic of the main highway with noise and air pollution, I think it is better to avoid walking the whole length.
