Experience the desert and traditional Qatari hospitality in comfort with these desert glamping tents, complete with a day full of activities and a bonfire experience under the starry sky. Do you want to do this?
Drive this sand-friendly vehicle, also known as a quad-ATV bike, specially designed for sporting activities. Sealine and Mesaieed desert areas are popular for this. You can rent these buggies from many adventure and tour companies in Qatar. Follow the instructions as it can be tricky to drive one in the sand.
This is a must-do when in Qatar! Go up the dunes and glide down a 4x4, which is a thrilling experience. Khor Al Adaid is a great place to do this, and you can choose from the many tour companies that offer this!
Do you know about this unique phenomenon called the desert rose crystal? It is made up of gypsum and sand and naturally occurs in the deserts of Qatar. These can be found near Umm Bab and the northwestern desert area of Qatar. You can book a tour through an operator and spot these beautiful desert roses. Please don't step on them or pick them up from their natural landscape.

The desert forms that perfect backdrop to catch the sun setting over the dunes. This is a sight to behold as it will help make some memorable moments. Will you be doing this?
The majlis experience is something that gives you an insight into the Qatari lifestyle and hospitality. While you're enjoying your desert safari doing dune bashing, camel riding or quad biking, you can also rest in an Arabian tent, where refreshments are served.
