Ferry Map & Routes to Qatar
Crossing the Persian Gulf into the Old Doha Port takes just over two hours on specialized high-speed maritime routes. While international sea transit is highly restricted, niche operators manage the exclusive, low-capacity passenger crossings heading west to Bahrain. You cannot bring a car on these 140-kilometer international routes, so rely on the city’s modern metro system once you clear customs. Review the regional ferry map to understand how these maritime borders operate before booking your ticket.
