While Dukhan City offers fascinating spots for you to explore archaeological and historical sites, the beach is regarded as one of the best places for an overnight camping experience amidst total serenity.  

Dukhan Beach is an ideal weekend attraction for families and friends. Although famous for overnight camping, there are cottages and huts available near the soft, golden beach. Not only a popular picnic spot, Dukhan Beach also offers excellent opportunities for watersport activities. Adults and teenagers spend exciting hours snorkelling and exploring the reef; swimming; and surfing. Closer to shore the water is not too deep, which means children can have a fun time too.

It is possible to take the metro M1 line to Dukhan Beach.
