Inland Sea dune safari
A half-day 4x4 run out to where the desert meets the water at the Saudi border.
Khor Al Adaid
Overnight Bedouin-style desert camp
A night under canvas out past the dunes, with a BBQ dinner and a floor-seated majlis.
Inland desert
Sealine Sand Dunes
The dunes tumble straight into the Gulf here, so you can watch the sun drop behind sand one minute and dip your feet in the sea the next.
Mesaieed
Sand Line Dunes Qatar (Quad Bike & Buggy Tours)
Guided quad bike runs through the Sealine dunes with brand-new bikes and drivers who'll actually teach you the line before you gun it.
Mesaieed
Dune Buggy Qatar (Self-Drive Rental)
Skip the group tour and drive the dunes yourself in a Polaris buggy, single-seat or four-up, straight from a shopfront on Sealine Beach Road.
Mesaieed
Zekreet Film City & Ras Abrouq Mushroom Rocks
An abandoned mud-brick film set and wind-carved mushroom-shaped rocks sit out on Qatar's west coast, and almost nobody outside Doha's photographers knows to go.
Zekreet, Al Rayyan
Sunset Camel Trekking (Qatar Inbound Tours)
A slower, quieter way into the desert than a dune-bashing 4x4 - just a camel, the dunes turning gold, and none of the engine noise.
