Box Park, located at the old Doha Port, is a leisure destination in Qatar. Made of colourful recycled containers with scenic panoramic views, it’s a must-visit place in Doha!

One of the most colourful places in Qatar!

The refitted shipping containers are turned into shops, dining outlets, and offices.

The redevelopment project at Doha Port is filled with recycled shipping containers painted in bright colours. Most of the containers are allocated for commercial and retail spaces.

    Even the elevator (the orange vertical box) is housed in a shipping container!

    Even the elevators are housed inside a vertically-placed shipping container. A small grocery store, coffee shop, and other retail shops are currently open.

    Have your photo taken in front of these colourful walls/warehouses!

    Aside from the brightly coloured walls of the shipping containers, there are also artsy walls you can take photos with.

    Like the two warehouses at the parking area entrance, one is bright yellow with a big smiley face, and the other is dark blue with an outline of the Doha skyline filled with colourful streaks.
