Fishing pontoons are now open, allowing visitors to relax by the sea, cast a line, and enjoy a peaceful break from the urban rush, perfect for families, friends, or anyone wanting to try something different in Doha.
The fishing pontoons offer easy access straight over the water, so you can fish comfortably without needing a boat.

This makes it simple to try fishing without any upfront investment; just arrive, rent your rod, and start casting. It’s a convenient option for tourists, families, and residents who want a spontaneous experience by the water.
This outdoor activity is suitable for families, kids (with supervision), teens, couples, and groups of friends looking for a relaxed, screen-free experience. If you’re searching for something new to do in Doha that’s calm, different, and close to the sea, the fishing pontoons at Old Doha Port are definitely worth a visit.
