What to expect

The journey starts with a pick-up from your location within Doha city in a 4X4 off-road vehicle, ensuring a comfortable ride throughout your adventure. You'll traverse past the Mushroom Rock and pause to admire the Ras Abrouq Rock Formations. These limestone structures have been meticulously sculpted by the wind over time, creating an awe-inspiring sight.

As you continue your journey, you'll pass through a local village before reaching the Al Maha Sanctuary. This sanctuary is home to the elegant Arabian Oryx, a small antelope that holds the honour of being the country's emblem. However, please note that sightings of this majestic creature are not guaranteed. The final stop on your tour is the EAST-WEST / WEST-EAST art installation by Richard Serra. Standing tall in the desolate desert, this perfectly aligned sculpture is truly a sight to behold.

Your itinerary also includes a visit to Zekreet Beach and a drive through Zekreet Village, where you can soak up the local culture. You'll also get a chance to see the western coast, known for its historical significance as the location of the first oil rig discovery.
