Karwa Bus Route M302: Al Ghanim / City Center area to West Bay / Diplomatic Area | Doha Bus Guide
Route Overview
The scenic city connector: M302 is a handy Mowasalat (Karwa) bus that links central Doha neighborhoods with key tourist and business spots. Riding this turquoise bus is a relaxed, air-conditioned way to see the city without the parking hassle — great for expats and visitors who prefer public transit.
Key Stops & Landmarks
- Al Ghanim / City Center area — City Center Mall, shopping and eateries
- Souq Waqif — traditional market, alfresco cafés, cultural shows
- Corniche / Museum of Islamic Art area — waterfront promenade and MIA Park
- West Bay / Diplomatic Area — skyscrapers, hotels, business district
The Experience
M302 has a mixed vibe: busy during weekday rush-hours with commuters and quieter mid-day with tourists and shoppers. Expect a comfortable, cooled cabin (AC is standard — a relief in Doha heat) and the trademark turquoise-karwa exterior. The drive offers good views approaching the Corniche and gives easy access to both old Doha (Souq Waqif) and the modern skyline of West Bay.

Local "Pro Tip"
If you’re visiting Souq Waqif, get off one stop early and walk through the side streets — you’ll find cheaper traditional restaurants and spices. Pro tip: bring a light jacket — the AC on Karwa buses is strong, especially on longer rides.
