Where is Qatar?
With just seven hours flying time, Qatar is located in the Middle East, nestled on the Arabian Peninsula. It borders Saudi Arabia alone and is neighbour to the United Arab Emirates. Although Qatar is a desert, it has a diverse range of flora and fauna. Surrounded by water, Qatar is a must for watersports – why not try kite-surfing orjet skiing?
Sports & Active Adventures
Enjoy excellent facilities for golf, water sports, diving, fishing, desert safaris, sand skiing, camel riding … and much more. Plus the Aspire Park sporting zone which facilitates a vast variety of sporting activities.
A truly Arabian experience
For a truly genuine Arabian experience, immerse yourself in the Qatari way of life. Over 50 years ago Qatar was not the bustling metropolis it is today, why not step back in time and take to a Bedouin tent for authentic Arabian entertainment, try a moonlit desert barbeque under the stars, enjoy a leisurely dinner cruise aboard a traditional dhow. Visit a souk, experience the sights, sounds and smells that these traditional markets have to offer. Or for an out of the ordinary experience, check out the sport of the Sheiks – camel racing. Whatever you choose, the legendary Arabian hospitality lives on in modern day Qatar. All visitors can look forward to a very warm welcome.
