Winter in Qatar is a time that many people look forward to. It's the ideal time to explore and enjoy the great outdoors that you usually can't have much of during the summer.

The ILoveQatar.net (ILQ) team brings you a list of feel-good activities to try out to truly enjoy the winter in Qatar.

Overnight camping

A must-try experience is overnight camping towards the coastal sides of Qatar to make the best of the winter mornings and nights. Book a caravan, sit back and relax under the sky!

Many coastal areas in Qatar, like Al Khor, Fuwairit & others, have allocated areas with caravans set up and available for rental with a range of facilities available.
