Doha Port (Arabic: ميناء الدوحة, romanized: Mīnā’ ad Dawḩah) is a census-designated port district in Doha, the capital city of Qatar.[2][3]
Doha Port is centrally located in Doha, and is adjacent to some of the country's most popular tourist destinations such as Doha Corniche and Souq Waqif.[4] Milaha Port Services gained control of the port in February 2011. Until the inauguration of Hamad Port in December 2016, Doha Port was the country's sole commercial port, capable of processing most types of cargo.[5] Immediately after Hamad Port was commissioned in December 2016 near Al Wakrah, Doha Port suspended all commercial operations.[6]
