Development of Al-Ruwais Port
Located about 120km north of Doha, Al Ruwais Port is designed to accommodate dhows, coastal trading vessels and a roll-on/roll-off passenger/car ferry, centring on general cargo, fruit and vegetables, livestock and building materials.
It may not be the largest port development underway in the region, but it’s no less important to the local economy.
The port currently caters for over 100 vessels, including fishing boats, customs and Ports General Authority (CPGA), Ministry of Interior and small leisure boats, and it will remain open while the new port is developed.
