Highlights

- Al Shahaniya Racetrack - The Qatar Camel Race Track is a modern racing facility located in the desert region of Qatar. It is specifically designed for camel racing, a traditional sport in the Middle East that has gained popularity worldwide. The track features a long, straight course surrounded by sandy terrain, providing an authentic and challenging environment for camel races. Spectators can enjoy the races from designated viewing areas equipped with amenities like seating, refreshments, and facilities. The Qatar Camel Race Track is a hub for camel racing enthusiasts and tourists interested in experiencing this unique cultural activity in a contemporary setting.
- Zekreet Fort Ruins - The Mushroom Rock Formation in Qatar is a striking natural wonder located in the desert landscape of the Zekreet Peninsula. This formation gets its name from its resemblance to a giant mushroom, with a large rock balanced precariously atop a narrower pedestal. The unique shape is a result of erosion over thousands of years, sculpting the rock into its distinct form. The Mushroom Rock Formation is a popular spot for photographers, nature enthusiasts, and tourists exploring the rugged beauty of Qatar’s desert terrain. It offers a fascinating glimpse into the geological processes that have shaped the region over time, making it a must-visit attraction for visitors to Qatar.
- EAST-WEST / WEST-EAST by Richard Serra - “Richard Serra’s ‘East-West/West-East’ is a breathtaking sculpture spanning over a kilometer in Qatar’s Brouq Nature Reserve. Comprising four steel plates, each towering over fourteen meters in height, the installation is meticulously aligned with the topography of the land. This marriage of modern design and the desert’s vastness creates a timeless and spectacular experience, enhancing the beauty of the otherwise desolate landscape.”

West Qatar - The tour guide knows the area very well. During the trip he tells us lots of interesting facts and tells us what there is nearby. It was a very interesting experience and it was lovely to see the camels. I would recommend it to everyone. The trip was very pleasant and definitely worth it.

Amazing experience west - "We had an amazing trip with our guide Ali exploring the west of Qatar! Ali was fantastic with our family of five, including three children. He made sure we had a smooth and enjoyable experience throughout our journey. The camel race track was a unique and thrilling experience, and the Brooq formations were simply breathtaking. Richard Sierra was another highlight, offering stunning views and a sense of serenity. Ali's knowledge and hospitality truly enhanced our adventure, and we highly recommend him for anyone looking to explore Qatar's western wonders.
