  • Sealine Beach - first stop to enjoy tea, coffee, and camel ride
  • Inland Sea Beach - Some 60 km from Doha in the south-eastern corner of the country lies one of Qatar’s most impressive natural wonders, the ‘Inland Sea’ or Khor Al Adaid. A UNESCO recognized natural reserve with its own ecosystem, this is one of the few places in the world where the sea encroaches deep into the heart of the desert. Inaccessible by road, this tranquil expanse of water can only be reached by across the rolling dunes.

According to UNESCO, Khor Al Adaid represents “a remarkable landscape” offering “world class scenic beauty”. The area is home to a unique set of fauna, including several species which are internationally rare and/or threatened, such as turtles.

Khor Al Adaid is also home to populations of certain species of birds which are of national and regional importance - long-distance migrant waterfowl winter. Visitors may also see ospreys nesting on islets and Arabian gazelles.

  • Khor Al Udaid Beach - Khor al Udaid, (also spelled Khawr al Udayd and Khor al-‘Udeid) is a settlement and inlet of the Persian Gulf located in Al Wakrah Municipality in southeast Qatar, on the border with Saudi Arabia. It is known to local English speakers as the “Inland Sea”.

Additional Information

Schedule your preferred departure, choosing pickup in Doha from your hotel, the port, or the airport, or from Hamad Port. Your driver-guide will escort you south along Qatar’s coastline in a private, air-conditioned 4x4. Traverse oil fields and towns, before venturing off-road into the deserts along Qatar’s border with Saudi Arabia. Take part in an optional camel ride (at your own expense) and embark on an exhilarating dune bash. Navigate enormous sand dunes and slide sideways down sheer drops as your driver skillfully maneuvers the wheel. Journey across the desert to the Khor Al Adaid Inland Sea, a vast body of gleaming turquoise water that serves as a natural boundary with Saudi. Observe this magnificent UNESCO-protected body of water before travelling to one of the only 3 locations on earth where the desert meets the beaches. Enjoy a soda at a desert camp here before returning to your point of origin.

Great tour guide! - Noor was our tour guide and he did a great job. He knows how to give you your money’s worth in thrills and is a safe, experienced driver on the dunes. He even had cold water on standby waiting in the car. I would definitely recommend and would do this again if given the chance!

Desert adventure everyone should do in Qatar - Everyone visiting Qatar should do this! We had a great guide that knew a lot about Doha and Qatar. The ride in the desert was high speed and exhilarating, yet our guide made us feel very safe. Our guide helped us take amazing pictures with the desert and sunset in the background. Our guide also gave us great tips on more things to do on our visit. When going back to Doha, we will do this again!
