Sea Line, Saudi Border away days...

Dukhan is the centre of Qatar’s onshore oil industry and at the beginning of the 20th century had the only aircraft landing strip in the country. The security-gated complex owned by Qatar Petroleum (not open to the general public) consists of both residential and production areas and includes the first oil well drilled in Qatar, in 1938. Fossilized shark teeth can be found in some of the shale hills and there is a popular beach accessible to all. At the gates to Dukhan township, turn left and follow the coast road for 9 km until reaching Dukhan Water Sports. The tarmac road ends here, but to the south, you will find plenty of places to stop. Although the beaches are sandy, there are sharp rocks under the water, so beach shoes are advisable. - See more at: http://www.qatartourism.gov.qa/en-us/thingstodo/activities/beaches.aspx#sthash.muNh1bon.dpuf

To get there, take the Al Ghariya turnoff 4.5 km beyond Fuwairit on the Al Shamal (North) Road and follow the tarmac road, keeping to the right when the road splits. Once the location of a desert camp for Qatar’s scouting movement, Al Ghariya gradually developed into a small weekend facility for other campers.

An inland sea to the south of Qatar, Khor Al Adaid shares a side with Saudi Arabia and has a shore in both countries. Four-wheel-drive vehicles are necessary and only experienced drivers should attempt the journey. Local tour operators also organise day trips and overnight camps to the area.

The road to the Ras Abrouq beach (70km from Doha) passes by a wild deer reserve and through what looks like a deserted village but was actually built as a film set. The drive to Ras Abrouq affords views of a sweeping half-moon bay, flanked by rocky outcrops.

Also known as 42km beach or the French beach – Maroona is a small beach 80km north of Doha. It’s a good place to enjoy the water but the sand is too fine and not quite suitable for pitching tents.This beach affords an unusual sight of eroded hills meeting the water’s edge. The area has a fine sandy bay with coves that make good picnic spots.

While Qatar is not as strict as Saudi Arabia when it comes to women’s attire, it still is an Islamic country and the sensibilities are quite different from those in the West. Expat women should be respectful of the dress code and keep their knees and shoulders covered and not wear anything too tight or revealing.  The dress code becomes much more important during Ramadan and is enforced by special ‘clothes’ police who ensure ladies are covered appropriately.

Spend the day at Qatar's Sealine Beach Resort near the Arabian Sea. Go for a wild sand-dune ride, join a sports game at Qatar Ventures Camp, enjoy the views of the Qatar Maldives, and sit around a nighttime bonfire before camping out under the stars.
