GO ON A SAND DUNE ADVENTURE

Many of us have daydreamed about riding a camel and going on a desert safari. It€™s one of those classic adventurer experiences, and amazingly this is one of the best things to do in Doha. To truly enjoy nature at its finest and to experience the vast desert, jump into the dune bashing experience outside of the city. Abandoning the dull tarmac for the adrenaline rush of the dunes, expect breathtaking scenery on a roller-coaster drive across the vast desert.

The best months to visit Qatar are Novemberto early April. Such climatic conditions allow sightseeing and outdoor activities across the country and these are considered as peak-tourist season in Qatar. The summer months (June to September) are very hot with minimum rainfall, so these are best avoided.
