The experience
The day starts with a camel ride across the desert, followed by a cup of tea while you take in the quiet landscape. After that comes the main event: dune bashing in a 4x4 that races over towering sand dunes, with a scenic stop for photos of the vast desert around you. You'll then try sandboarding, gliding down the smooth dunes yourself before the vehicle heads toward the Inland Sea (Khor Al Adaid), where the desert dunes meet turquoise water near the Saudi border.
The Inland Sea is a natural reserve known for its pristine beaches and wildlife. The route takes you there for the best views, then delivers you to the desert camp located right next to the beach. At the camp, you choose between a buffet lunch or dinner depending on your tour time, and you have the chance to swim in the water just steps away. The whole experience runs 7 to 8 hours from pickup to dropoff, with an expert guide and driver handling the route and an air-conditioned vehicle keeping you comfortable between stops.
Is this one for you?This is a shared group tour with a fixed itinerary and schedule, so you travel with other guests and follow the guide's route. Choose it if you want someone else handling the driving and navigation while you focus on the camel ride, dune activities and the Inland Sea views, and if you're comfortable with a full day of dune movement and activity.

Top questions
Can children come?
Yes. Ticket types: Child (1 to 7 years).
What is the Inland Sea and why is it part of this tour?
Khor Al Adaid, also called the Inland Sea, is a natural reserve in southeastern Qatar where desert dunes meet the turquoise Arabian Gulf near the Saudi border. The tour includes it because it offers some of the best desert and water views in the region, and the beachside location of the camp there lets you swim after your meal.
Do I ride the camel myself or just watch?
You ride the camel yourself. The tour includes a camel ride as part of the day, and you also try sandboarding on the dunes, so you're doing the activities rather than watching them.
What happens at the desert camp?
The camp sits on the beach next to the Inland Sea. You eat a buffet meal (lunch or dinner depending on your tour time), and you can swim in the water nearby. The camp is where the day ends before your dropoff.
Is this tour shared with other people or private?
This is a shared tour with other travelers. An English-speaking guide and driver lead the group in an air-conditioned vehicle, making stops for camel riding, dune bashing, sandboarding and the Inland Sea before reaching the camp.
What's included in the price and what do I need to pay for separately?
The tour includes pickup and dropoff from your hotel, the camel ride, dune bashing, sandboarding, entry to the Inland Sea, the desert camp stay with a buffet meal, water, soft drinks and tea throughout the day, and an expert guide. Personal expenses and sheesha or hookah are not included.
