Traveler reviews
The experience
The tour starts with a drive into the desert where your driver deflates the vehicle's tires for sand travel. At the traditional Arabian camp, you can take a camel ride and drink tea or coffee while settling in. The evening includes a buffet dinner at camp and time for beach volleyball and shisha smoking before an overnight stay under the desert sky.
At dawn, you head to Khor Al Adaid, the inland sea where desert meets water at Qatar's border. This UNESCO natural reserve is known for its clear water and the contrast between sand dunes on one side and sea on the other. You'll watch the sunrise from this vantage point, then return to camp for a full breakfast before the drive back to Doha.
Is this one for you?The tour runs two full days with an overnight desert stay, so you'll need to commit the time and be comfortable sleeping in a camp setting. The early dawn departure to Khor Al Adaid means an early start on day two, but it's timed to catch the sunrise when few other visitors are there.
