4.8★ RatedInland Sea dune safari
A half-day 4x4 run out to where the desert meets the water at the Saudi border.
Weekend FavoriteOvernight Bedouin-style desert camp
A night under canvas out past the dunes, with a BBQ dinner and a floor-seated majlis.

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.

Editor's PickZekreet Film City & Ras Abrouq Mushroom Rocks

Date IdeaSunset 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.
