Karwa Bus Route L514: Lusail Marina to Corniche / Museum area | Doha Bus Guide

Route Overview

L514 — The Lusail–West Bay connector. A handy turquoise Mowasalat (Karwa) bus that shuttles between the modern waterfront of Lusail and Doha’s high-rise West Bay corridor. Perfect when you want an easy, air‑conditioned ride from new-city attractions to downtown business and leisure hubs without the fuss of driving.

Key Stops & Landmarks

• Lusail Marina — Lusail Marina Boardwalk (cafés and the marina promenade)
• Lusail Boulevard — Lusail City Park and shopping precinct (family-friendly)
• The Pearl — Porto Arabia promenade (restaurants and boutiques)
• West Bay (DECC area) — Doha Exhibition & Convention Center and nearby high-rise hotels
• Corniche / Museum area — close to the Doha Corniche and Museum of Islamic Art

The Experience

L514 feels like a mixed-use route: part sightseeing, part commuter shuttle. Early mornings and evenings are busy with commuters heading to offices in West Bay; midday services carry tourists and families bound for Lusail and The Pearl. The drive includes coastal views as you approach The Pearl and a skyline panorama entering West Bay — you’ll notice lots of international workers, business travelers and weekend strollers. Air-conditioning is standard (crucial in Doha’s heat), so you’ll be comfortable even in summer.

Local "Pro Tip"

Get off at The Pearl’s Porto Arabia stop for the best casual waterfront dining without the West Bay price tag. Pro tip: Bring a light jacket — the bus AC can be surprisingly strong! For more visitor info, see Visit Qatar: https://www.visitqatar.com.
