Umm Bab Beach

Umm Bab (also called Palm Tree Beach) sits about 80km from Doha on the west coast, an easy run down Salwa Road. What sets it apart is the line of palm trees growing directly along the sand, giving natural shade you won't find at most Qatari beaches. The water is clear and the seabed slopes gently, making it genuinely kid-friendly for wading. Facilities are sparse — a children's play area and public toilets, no restaurants or lifeguards — so it works best as a bring-your-own camping, picnic, or sunset stop rather than a full resort day.
