There are so many ways to appreciate the magnificent desert dunes of Khor Al Adaid. If you prefer the tranquillity of nature, go on a guided nature walk to spot rare wildlife such as the Arabian oryx. If you love adrenaline, go sandboarding or hit the dunes on a quad bike, ATV or dune buggy.  

Spend a day frolicking in the beautiful turquoise waters of Khor Al Adaid Beach. Drift along on a kayak, try your hand at fishing or go snorkelling to spot brightly-coloured sea slugs and stingrays. At low tide, you might see fossils of ancient marine life such as gastropods, bivalves, corals and sea worms.

In the morning, the water rises towards the dunes like a lake, while in the evening it recedes to form a tranquil beach under a golden sunset. 

In days gone by, Bedouin tribes would move across the desert to let their animals graze. They would set up camps and trade with other tribes. Today, this tradition remains embedded in Qatari culture, with the annual winter camping season or Al Enna, whereby locals venture to the desert in elaborate camps. 

Book a desert safari and stay the night in a Bedouin-style camp under the stars. If you prefer more luxury, Outpost Al Barari offers one-, two- or three-bedroom villas with uninterrupted views. 

Exploring the ridge of a magnificent sand dune on the back of a camel is a real bucket list experience. Afterwards, you can enjoy some Arabic coffee, sweets and dates while you get a henna tattoo and pose with a falcon.

Awe at the aerial of this fascinating destination as you experience your favourite adventure in the skies of Qatar. Go paragliding, kite surfing or on a hot air balloon ride to see the landlocked sea from above and view as far as the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.
