Step-by-step itinerary
Desert safari with dune bashing and camel ride

The experience
The tour starts with pickup from your Doha hotel in an air-conditioned 4WD vehicle driven by a professional guide. From there, you head into the desert for dune bashing: the vehicle navigates the sand dunes at speed, stopping at viewpoints where the landscape opens up across the empty terrain. The stops let you take in the scale of the dunes without the constant motion.
A camel ride connects you to the region's Bedouin heritage, a slower-paced contrast to the driving. If you want an extra rush, sandboarding lets you slide down the dunes on a board. The tour wraps at the Inland Sea, a rare meeting point where desert sand borders open water, and then returns you to Doha. Bottled water and coffee or tea come with the tour.
