According to Forbes, the state of Qatar is one of the richest countries in the world. Qatar tops the statistics for human development in Arabic, and owes it all to the discovery of natural gas and oil reserves in the country. Spectacularly beautiful shopping areas are complemented by incredible beaches, which is a pleasant surprise considering that most of the area is covered by a desert zone.
The beauty of Qatar lies in the balance it strikes between the dazzling commercialization of the city and the natural beauty that has been carefully nurtured. Located on the western side of the Persian Gulf, Qatar is a 560-kilometre-long coastline that encompasses several beaches. Along with huge expanses of desert, Qatar amazes with white sand beaches that are kept very clean as a result of the strict cleanliness rules put in place here.
One of the best and most popular beaches in Qatar is Al Ghariya beach. Located 80 kilometers from the city of Doha, this beach was once a desert camp. It is an ideal campsite for families as it is fully equipped with all the necessary comforts for one. Shallow water for children, a luxurious beach resort and clear water on a clean beach; What more do you want from a family beach vacation?
Dukhan Beach is also popular, along with an interesting history. It was the center of the onshore oil industry and was used as an aircraft landing strip in the first half of the 20th century. A thriving beach now, Dukhan boasts clean water, a secluded setting, and a sandy beach. Another rather secluded and unexplored beach is Fuwairit Beach, which is made up of quirky eroded rocks that make for a great photo shoot. These rocks popularly resemble the shape of Gruyere cheese. The cliffs formed by these rocks give way to small coves ideal for picnicking.
Maroona beach, or known as the ‘French Beach’ and the ’42 km Beach’ is a good place to take a dip and enjoy the waters, the sand is not ideal for pitching tents as it gets too soft , but that does not dissuade the tourist from lazing around, especially the young ones.
Many of Qatar’s beaches are isolated, but there are many activities that can attract young people who want to have a good time. The best bet for a group of young people is to take advantage of renting the various luxury cars offered by Qatari car service providers. Whether it’s relaxing, sunbathing, enjoying a jeep ride or sand skiing, travel is made more fun and convenient through luxury car rental. Families, couples and especially young people can have the experience of a lifetime in Qatar.
