History
Dhows were the workboats of the Gulf for centuries, central to pearling and trade; the Corniche follows the same curve where small ports and markets once clustered along Doha Bay.
Conservation
Respect marine life by avoiding littering and using refillable bottles; operators follow local maritime rules and visitors should avoid feeding wildlife to protect coastal ecosystems.
