Al Ruwais Port
Overview:
Al Ruwais Port, the second commercial port, is located in the north of the State of Qatar. The port plays a major role in stimulating regional trade exchange and reviving economic activity in the northern region of the country.
Under the patronage of the Ministry of Transportation and Communications, Mwani Qatar, the company that manages Al Ruwais Port, has opened a unique market that combines trade and ancient traditions. The port market will be an independent component of Al Ruwais Port, providing seafarers and merchants from different parts of the region and also from the Indian subcontinent with the opportunity to trade their products which are coming from their countries.
The Port Market is also a traditional market that seeks to keep pace with the history of this medieval trade, which was the engine of the global economy for a period of time. As part of its contribution to reviving the economic movement in the northern regions of the State of Qatar, the port is also expected to become a trading center for goods from neighbouring countries.
The Port Market extends over an area of 3,200 square meters, it provides a space for each of the stores it contains that are occupied by merchants who are constantly changing. Some of the food items you may see on display in the market include canned food, potato chips, dates, local sweets, spices, dried fruits, nuts, juices, and much more. Shoppers will also find some furniture and interior decor items such as wall paintings and water fountains.
And for what distinguishes it, the Port Market is definitely worth the long distance to reach Al Ruwais and visit it.
The market is opened daily from 8 in the morning until 6 in the evening. You can also inquire by calling Al Ruwais Port at (40120600).
