Places in Qatar - Khor Al Udaid (Inland Sea)

About a hundred kilometers Southwest of Doha lies Khor Al Udaid. A patch of sea surrounded by long streches of sand dunes located near the Qatar and Saudi Arabian border. It is a part of the Persian Gulf and is a popular place for Expats and locals alike to spend the weekend with their family and friends. Witnessing the sunset there was breathtaking. However, it takes a sand dune buggy ride to get there. Go with experienced off-road drivers or you could end up stuck, lost or both.
A number of companies organise trips in 4x4's including Qatar International Tours offering either a half day trip for Qr100 or a full day for Qr159. Combined with a Desert Camp visit where you can enjoy swimming, a game of beach volleyball, relax along the beach to enjoy the view, BBQ buffet and camp activities, complete with bathroom facilities.
There is also a private tour that offers a flexible option like an overnight tour package with a free pictorial. For Qr159 per person (minimum of 4 persons per rented car) with an option to be picked up and dropped off anywhere in Doha. Send me a message if you want my referral.
  

Some activities also available:
ATV is Qr150 per hour
Camel riding for Qr15 per person
