The experience
The tour starts with pickup at MIA Park in a 4x4 vehicle and heads south toward Mesaieed, a commercial town about 36 kilometers from Doha that sits on Qatar's petroleum trade routes. The route takes you into the desert and to the inland sea border: a natural boundary where the landscape shifts. You spend two hours on the dune drive itself, moving through terrain that requires the vehicle's traction and the guide's knowledge of the safe routes.
An English-speaking guide leads the whole journey and handles the vehicle through the dunes. Water and soft drinks come with the tour. Dropoff returns you to MIA Park when the four hours are done. The tour runs as either a private booking or a shared group departure, so you choose at checkout whether you want a vehicle to yourself or to join other travelers. Morning, afternoon and BBQ meal options are available depending on which departure suits your schedule.
Is this one for you?Choose a private tour if your group wants the vehicle and guide to yourselves. Pick a shared departure if you're traveling solo or as a couple and want to split the cost with other travelers. Morning, afternoon and BBQ meal options let you fit the safari into the rest of your Doha itinerary.
