The experience

A day trip south to Sealine Beach for dune bashing, sandboarding, a camel ride and the Inland Sea at Khor al Adaid.

The 4x4 leaves Doha for Sealine Beach, where the tyres are deflated for dune bashing and there is free time for a camel ride on the sand before the drive turns into the dunes proper.

Dune bashing gives way to sandboarding down the slopes, then the route continues to the Inland Sea of Khor al Adaid, where Qatar’s desert meets the water and Saudi Arabia is visible across it, before the drive back to Doha.
