On your trip to Doha, there are many beautiful beaches to enjoy, including Doha Sands’ vibrant atmosphere and live entertainment, Sealine Beach’s adventure activities, and Khor Al-Adaid’s stunning scenery.
Meet you there?
Located in Doha’s West Bay, Doha Sands offers a vibrant yet relaxed atmosphere, with live entertainment including musicians and DJs. The beach is open from 10am to 5pm, with ticket prices varying depending on whether you’re visiting on a week day or at the weekend. Children under the age of 18 enter for free. The beach can be quite crowded, especially during the weekends.
A little more than 50 kilometres from Doha International Airport, Sealine Beach in Mesaieed is a popular spot that offers a refreshing dip in the ocean and numerous activities. You can take part in watersports, rent dune buggies or quad bikes for an exhilarating ride in the sand, and even embark on safari tours and camel rides. The beach is also a spectacular vantage point for the sunset.
Situated off the coast of Doha, Al Safliya Island is an uninhabited paradise for nature lovers. The barren island is best suited to those who enjoy an off-the-beaten-path experience, with its clear waters and wooden umbrellas. You can reach the island by taking a dhow boat. Some local tour companies offer full-day packages to the island, including meals, watersports and beach games.
Khor Al-Adaid – also known as the Inland Sea – is a Qatari landscape jewel. The UNESCO-recognised natural reserve is a unique ecosystem, merging the characteristics of desert dunes and oceanfront landscapes. The seawater is pristine and clear. It’s more than just a stunning beach, too. Here, you can take a camel ride over rolling sand dunes or embark on a desert journey in off-road vehicles.
The beach at Umm Bab – Al Khraij beach, or Palm Tree Beach – is a tranquil location on Qatar’s western coast. This beach is famous for its clusters of palm trees, which add to the overall beauty while providing shade and shelter for visitors. The beach has a number of facilities (including toilets, and a play area for children) that make it an ideal camping destination. The beach is also close to the Al-Reem Biosphere Reserve.
